Top Carmel Hotel Reviews

Carmel Mission Inn

Carmel Mission Inn

8/10 Good

"Walls were way too thin. Family next to us started making a lot of noise at 6:30am and woke us up from a deep sleep. Had dinner onsite. Took us a really long time to get our desserts because they sat a big group an about 15 min after we sat down. Apparently the group was already complaining about not getting their food which I don’t think was justified considering they had at least 16 people."
