Top Carmel Hotel Reviews

Carmel River Inn & Cottages

8/10 Good

"Nice room next to river"

Carmel Mission Inn

6/10 Okay

"Right from check in, the front desk person was odd and standoffish. Our room had zero view, hard wood floors with sand on it... There was a poor patch job done to the shower bottom that appears water damaged. We could not use the pool or hot tub apon arrival due to an unexpected music event??? Last but not least ..there was non boutique amenities in the room reminiscent of motel 6....WE HAD NO AIR CONDITIONING IN OUR ROOM..aaaand the location of our room was right next to a main entrance and we could hear all the doors slamming and rude loud guests. Sure, there is many shopping and dining experiences near by and the beaches are lovely nearby...but this review is NOT about Carmel and its value now is it??? "

Hyatt Carmel Highlands

6/10 Okay

"Rooms smaller than expected. Staff unwelcoming unless they are trying to sell you on a time share at check in. No room service for food. Took housekeeping 45min to give us a towel on one day, and on another day took almost 45mins to give us waters & vanity kits that should have been replenished during our room clean but wasn’t. Wouldn’t return."

Normandy Inn

10/10 Excellent

"A magical place for a convenient stay in Carmel. We had a king room for an affordable rate of $250 per night - taxes included. A reasonable option in the area. We walked outside of the property and were on the Main Street and within walking distance of all the shops, restaurant, and beach. It was a quick 7 minute walk to the beach for sunset each evening. Numerous coffee shops and restaurants right outside the property. Our room was spacious and had all we needed. We had a separate bathroom and vanity room which was very helpful for us. There was a sitting area with comfortable chairs and plenty of lighting in the room - a must for me. In addition, there were 4 mirrors in the room which I found helpful and unusual for a hotel stay. The continental breakfast was okay. Not much to say - normal fare - but it was clean and well stocked. The pool was incredible warm and we enjoyed it one afternoon. The Normandy is a gem, like something out of "Tangled" a quote from my daughter. We asked for more towels and were given plenty - as well as pool towels from the front desk. the shower handle broke and was promptly fixed after a call to the front desk. I can't wait to return to the area and to Normandy Inn."
