Photos are deceptively charming but the premises were of a motel trying to present itself as upscale. This would be fine if the deception stopped there.

They nickel and dime in fees: charging guests $30 for parking, tacking on additional $15 in facilities fees on top of taxes and fees that were already charged upon booking, and their $100 pet fee is egregious and exploitative of Carmel's dog-friendly reputation. Sure they have "electric car charging" but this "boutique" motel only offers outlets instead of actual chargers with J1772/Tesla cables.

Carmel has a lot to offer in charming accommodations. This inn isn't one of them.

All staff members were friendly, proficient, and professional, from the first contact with them through the check out. Mary, the manager, was especially friendly and helpful. The hotel and grounds were clean and attractive. Our room was very clean, quiet and spacious. It was such a relief not to be concerned about cleanliness! We ate vegetarian omelets for breakfast from the inn's tavern which we enjoyed. I would recommend them to my family and friends.

Nice spacious rooms, great outdoor sitting areas. Would stay again. It was a great location. Good restaurants within walking distance. Family came to Carmel for our daughters wedding. Carmel Mission Inn is also walking distance to grocery store!
