We were not sure what to expect as this hotel is not in central Carmel. However what a find! We booked a King size superior room on the 4th floor which, along with the bathroom, was of a great size and well decorated. At $90. - Great value. more

I came down with the kids soccer team and we had a great time. The service was excellent and they accomodated special requests. I expected to pay an arm and a leg for breakfast. Instead I had a delicious omelette with organic eggs and fresh veggies for about ten dollars. It was great value and very reasonably priced. Now I... more

During our stay at the Carmel Mission Inn our service was the least favorable experience. We requested to stay in a King Suite both nights however the first night they were sold out, this was acceptable as we stayed in a queen suite and ask to be moved for our second night. The initial request was not a problem and... more

Carmel is a little gem, but not cheap. We paid 99 dollars for a room here. I certainly wouldn't call this value compared to Motel 6, but maybe it's value for Carmel. The reception is OK, but it goes a bit downhill from there. We avoided the lift except when carrying luggage. The rooms are small and sweaty, with low... more

Thank you for taking the time to review our Carmel Ca. hotel. I'm not sure I understand your Motel 6 analogy or hating things with a passion but these comments seem far removed from how most rate our hotel. Our philosophy is to focus on the positive things in life as we strive to provide a clean, comfortable, safe and...

The weather was 80 degrees on Carmel Beach. The food at Abalonetti was incredible. (try the squid combination). But................. The new and improved Carmel Mission Inn Exceed our expectations by a long shot. The rooms were decorated great and very high-end. The bathrooms 1st class. The grounds / firepits / foliage made it fabulous to just hang out and drink... more

We stayed her after 5 days in San Francisco and before furthers stops in Santa Barabara & LA. From reading TripAdvisor reviews, it was the one place that we had some apprehension over but that was soon put to rest. Prompt check in though I could see what some had earlier referred to with regards concerns here. Didn't bother us... more

I picked the Carmel Mission Inn because it ranks well on TripAdvisor, and the rates seem to be some of the best in very expensive Carmel. As an international traveler, I am almost always pleased with the American Hotels. And this was no exception. The inn is very well located and I quite enjoyed both the hotel and the town.... more

The hotel is directly opposite a shopping centre in Carmel Valley. Which is nice if you want to go shopping. If you want to visit Carmel you need to go by car. This is ok, but you need a designated driver if you want to go for dinner. If you stay at the hotel we would recommend the pizza place... more

Stayed one night. Room had a lovely blue glow in it. Plenty of parking and the wireless internet was easy to set up. Good breakfast but you need to book it in advance to get two for $10. Otherwise its $12.50 each. Its not actually located in the main seeside Carmel but is about a 10 minute drive away. more
