Carmel Mission Inn, hotel in Carmel

In close proximity to Point Lobos State Park, and short distance to Big Sur, this hotel offers relaxing activities and exploration of the California coastline.

The room was very spacious, and looks like it's been renovated. We paid for the breakfast in the restaurant and it was delicious. We didn't have time to enjoy the pool and other areas, but they all looked very cozy.

    Beautiful and easy to walk ! Restaurants wonderful!

    Beautiful and easy to walk ! Restaurants wonderful! Little walkways all over leading to gardens and shops! Close to Carmel Beach. The cottages are wonderful and many beautiful older hotels! Parking is a problem!!! 2hours and you have to move your car. After 5pm it can stay all night but you have to move it in the morning!

    Carmel by the Sea is a very pretty little town.

    Carmel by the Sea is a very pretty little town. Feels like you in Europe. We were centrally located and could walk everywhere. There are art galleries, little gift shops, expensive shops, sweet shops, something for everyone. They all look similar which gives the town so much character. Town is clean, we took a drive to Pebble beach golf resort which is amazing to see if you a golfer. We also did the 19mile drive around the beach which was very pretty. I definitely recommend this as a stop if you driving down the Westcoast, California.

    A truly lovely place with well managed civic operations… no trash, no stains in the sidewalk. Things like trash cans and vending machines well disguised to keep the appearance of town cleat and clean. Great for walking, restaurants are plentiful and neighborhoods are well kept with beautiful landscape.

    My husband and I visit Carmel twice a year and it never gets old. I love the shops, art galleries, and restaurants. Porta Bella is one of our favorite restaurants but you can't go wrong with any restaurant in Carmel. Visiting the beach for the day is a must! Also, Pebble Beach is a five minute drive and worth the beautiful sights!

    For rich boomers. Everything expensive. Nice art galleries.

    For rich boomers. Everything expensive. Nice art galleries. We tried Flying Fish restaurant, which was an odd mix of traditions, everything sweetened. They complained that my tip was not big enough as I left. A first. Turns out their method of calculating was unusual.I had thought a tip was included. $14.50 was added for something and I thought it was the tip. Turns out it was a charge for using a credit card. New to me. You can walk everywhere and parking is a challenge. Not a lot of kids. Not much for them except the beach. Beach walks long and pleasant. Town walks for shopper ladies.

    the location was great, both when it came to shopping (food and other things) or restaurants. you have to walk a bit to the beach, but it's not a problem, it's just uphill backwards. The Carmel Plaza with stores and restaurants is a good 5-minute walk away. The hotel is simple and clean, we just had queen size beds, there wasn't too much space in the bed. The breakfast basket is ok if you only need a little in the morning. The free parking in the courtyard is very practical. All in all a great hotel.

    A super cute hotel with a nice cosy and warm feeling. The location was fantastic, right in the centre of all the Carmel fun! It is a very safe town and the parking on-site was a great plus. Staff was friendly and chatty! We really loved our stay at Hofsa House and fell in love with Carmel. We will definitely be back!

    Unimpressively mediocre room for a ridiculous 5 star boutique hotel prize. I come frequently to Carmel and check out new locations to stay. This place will become one of the more unpleasant memories.
