Casa Munras Garden Hotel & Spa
The pool was such a hit for both the kids and the adults. Breakfast was scrumptious and coupled with the exceptional service from Ms. Rebecca we felt right at home and catered to. We would definitely stay here again if we ever in the area again.

Carmel Mission Inn
Lobby is fine and has a nice 70’s retro vibe to it but the rooms were terrible, smell and not a $4-500 a night value. Won’t be coming back.
