10/10 Excellent
"I did not know it was a resort when I booked the room. I was pleasantly surprised by the size of the room, and all of the amenities on site. I was able to purchase a breakfast plan through Expedia that was much cheaper than paying there. The restaurant at the hotel serves good food and has great staff."

Hyatt Carmel Highlands

Hyatt Carmel Highlands

10/10 Excellent
"Spectacular cliffside property. Absolutely AMAZING views. The property is incredibly landscaped. Staff are excellent and helpful. for seniors and disabled persons it is a CHALLENGE to walk to property due to Many steps and steep inclines between the main building/lobby/restaurant and rooms and parking. That’s the only complaint. Rooms are very nicely done and the bed was excellent. Also…the One ice machine on property was broken. Would stay again but would ask for a room easier to walk."

Pine Inn

Pine Inn

8/10 Good
"The staff were awesome. One problem was quickly corrected, refrigerator placed in room. Needed A/C, had to open windows because of the heat. Bed was placed with one side against wall and the end of the bed was facing the entry door (a no no for some Asian woman). My wife is Filipina and she did not like the bed placement. It was a small room and unable to move the bed to a better spot."

The Quail

The Quail

8/10 Good
"The Quail is a very nice hotel, but unless you're into golf, there's not much to see or do there. Carmel is about 15 minutes away by car, but if you just want to step outside the hotel and walk to nearby stores or attractions, there aren't any. The facilities and housekeeping were excellent - our only complaint is that the toilet was incredibly low-height - potentially a problem for people with creaky knees."
