Top Carmel Mission Basilica Hotel Reviews

Carmel Green Lantern Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Pet-friendly Redwood cottage. Comes with an electric fireplace. An additional bed upstairs. Spacious. Close to the beach- pleasant walk. Parking is good- get there early. Walk to eateries and the beach."

Carmel Bay View Inn

10/10 Excellent

Carmel Inn And Suites

8/10 Good

Carmel Mission Inn

10/10 Excellent

"It was beautiful and conveniently located close to the beach and restaurants"

Le Petit Pali at 8th Ave

8/10 Good

"The property is very cute. Great location to walk to shops and restaurants. Clean and quiet. Constructive feedback; the towels are thin and cheap. For a high end property the towels should be thick and high quality. And why just two ? I have long hair, I use two towels a day and my husband needs one towel. There is no iron only a steamer. That’s not the same and when you are traveling and want to go out to dinner you need an iron. The closet is only a cupboard so dresses and pants cannot fully hang. There is no air conditioning. The room was stuffy. The champagne breakfast is false advertising. No one was drinking champagne at breakfast and it wasn’t offered. You have to ask for coffee and wait for them to bring it in little cups. Why not have an urn? The evening reception was nice but service was slow and nothing is complimentary. They didn’t refill the Nespresso coffee pods in the room daily so we had to ask for them. The tissues and toilet paper were also poor quality. Franco the morning sever was great!"

Normandy Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Darling hotel, nice spacious room, staff all very pleasant, great breakfast, pool is nice and warm, and a great location of course!"

Villa Mara Carmel

10/10 Excellent

"We were surprised that Villa Mara is a large house in a neighborhood. The entire place is very well maintained and comfortable. There are multiple sitting areas with fire pits on the property. Upon arrival we were greeted by very helpful and friendly staff offering refreshments and help with our luggage. The room was extremely nice. The bathroom had heated floors, a tub and shower. The complimentary breakfast is in line with any fine restaurant. The staff will provide beverage refreshments at anytime upon request in the bar. This is one of the nicest places I have ever stayed."

Carmel River Inn & Cottages

10/10 Excellent

"Had a wonderful time! The place was top shelf, everything beautifully landscaped, the aromas from the various plants, could not get enough of. The cottages were amazing. The detail, cleanliness, and hospitality was well worth the drive there from the foothills. Shout out to the office manager Jacob and his staff. They were extremely knowledgeable and assisted us in navigating our way around town, well done! Definitely will be going back, appreciate you!"

La Playa Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Great boutique hotel in Carmel. Close to the main areas in Carmel. Great customer service. Lovely comfortable rooms while not huge are beautiful furnished. Great free extras provided from early morning coffee, a delicious buffet breakfast with egg station, afternoon wine and not forgetting the wonderful chocolate chip cookies in the evening. A real treat."
