Carmel Mission Inn

Carmel Mission Inn

10/10 Excellent
"Was given a third floor jr suite with huge patio. It was an end unit which is a preferred location for quiet and privacy. Did not like the $30 a night to use the parking lot (?) figured it would be a given since I am staying there. All in all I would go and stay again."
