Top Carmel Highlands Hotel Reviews

Carmel Mission Inn

8/10 Good

"Nice hotel. Poolside was nice."

The Monterey Hotel

8/10 Good

"The lobby carpet has some age, but it is a wonderful classic property. The room was very clean and comfortable. The bathroom was very well maintained and very spacious. The front desk staff was very nice and helpful. Our only issue is the road noise and how loud the room is. If you crack open a window its unbelievable. With no A/C it is a tough choice .. cool temps and noise or closed windows and heat but quiet. Great location with wonderful restaurants close by. Parking was a minor inconvenience, but is not too bad."
