Top Seaside Hotel Reviews

Carmel Mission Inn

Carmel Mission Inn

10/10 Excellent
"Really clean, a nice pool and well appointed room. The water pressure in the shower is disappointing though and it is also not fun paying 30 USD a day for car parking, when most people visiting are on road trips and there is a massive car park, so no need to charge people this much. The facilities fee of $10 a day is also silly - you can’t opt out of using the wifi, pool and gym and avoid paying, so why not just build this into your daily rate?"
