"Very friendly staff and accomodating. High quality, luxurious rooms."

"We only stayed one night, but absolutely loved our time at the Carmel Mission Inn, and will definitely be back here any time we're in the area. First off, the location is fantastic — just walking distance from local boutiques, coffee and a grocery store right across the street in Carmel Valley. But the true magic of this place is the friendliness and kindness of the staff, and all the little details. For us, it was everything from the wooden room keys with sweet little messages to the postcards offered in the lobby, the spacious outdoor seating area, the luxury toiletries, soft towels and robes, and absolute stellar cleanliness and upkeep! The staff was so friendly, accommodating and kind. Every single person we encountered was smiling and sweet! In the past, we've always stayed at little B&Bs when we've visited the area, but Carmel Mission Inn is definitely THE place to go, and we'll be staying here on every trip back in the future : )"
