Carmel Mission Inn

10/10 Excellent

"We always love staying here with our dogs when we visit Carmel. It’s a great place to stay! We got a balcony this time and our dogs loved it! It’s super close to the beach and there are some dog friendly food places to eat at in walking distance. It’s always pretty clean and the staff is very friendly. We’d definitely come back"

Carmel Bay View Inn

10/10 Excellent

"The room was very clean the bathrooms were very clean also. The room is very big and ample and comfortable. The location is wonderful because you are within walking distance of Ocean Avenue with all the shops and restaurants. Also very close you can walk down to the beach and enjoy the beautiful views and scenery"

The Monterey Hotel

"The King Suite rooms with fireplaces are wonderful. Very spacious, we could stay there for a long time. The location is perfect and walking distance to fisherman’s wharf and many good restaurants. The free trolly stop is just around the corner and so easy to use. Only a mile and a half from the Aquarium. Can’t wait to go back!!"
