"Front Desk staff was friendly and helpful. I requested an early check in, but unfortunately they could not accommodate me. The room was clean and well appointed. Bathroom was equipped with all the toiletries one might need. Beds were made up on the second day of our stay and we appreciated that. Parking was a little challenging only in the fact that the Inn was filled to capacity. Its in a great centralized location, with easy access to Hwy 1. Breakfast at the Sherwood restaurant located in the motel was delicious. Our server was timely and nice. I would highly recommend the Carmel Mission Inn and plan to stay the next time I'm in Carmel."
