Hotel Carmel Mission Inn (Carmel-by-the-Sea, USA)

Guests were impressed with the cleanliness of their rooms and common areas. If you book a stay here, you'll notice that housekeeping does an excellent job of keeping rooms tidy and neat.

While not located directly on the ocean, this inn is a short drive away from Carmel-by-the-Sea. The inn is close to a grocery store and several restaurants, making it convenient to purchase snacks or meals anytime you wish.

This small, intimate inn offers excellent service and the staff pays individual attention to all guests. Don't be surprised if they remember you by name or jump to assist you with special requests.

While the hotel is clean, guests felt that some areas needed attention. For example, stained carpets, towels and bedding need replacement. On the whole, though, this shouldn't detract from your overall stay.

The pool itself is quite small, and there's not much to look at. However, guests found it basic and sufficient enough to do the job. If you are looking for a resort-style pool with all the amenities, you won't find it here.

Some guests feel the value is great, whereas others leave disappointed and feeling like they spent more than necessary on their rooms. Consider the location, room rate and purpose of your travel when making your decision.
