8/10 Good

"The Inn is charming, however it is "worn.""

Hyatt Carmel Highlands

Hyatt Carmel Highlands

8/10 Good

"So this is a beautiful spot BUT!! The hotel is literally on the edge of a steep hill. “A disclaimer should go along with the booking. Must be physically fit to enjoy our property!!” Our room, while not far from the lobby, was probably 75 stair steps below the lobby. I’m sure they have some handicapped rooms available but the area we stayed in (about 24 rooms) is a hike. Don’t know about the restaurant as it was closed the night we stayed. The fitness center is okay but not much equipment other than cardio machines. Our room had a beautiful, unobstructed view of the ocean but the entrance to the property and the Highway 1 were so close that we couldn’t keep our windows open because of the noise. There are plenty of rooms that aren’t as close so be advised. Seemed like they were short of bell staff so we carried our bags ourselves which accentuated the elevation issues."
