Vendange Carmel Inn & Suites
"A quiet lovely well maintained place to stay in Carmel. The only complaint is my phone network was always out of range around that area so i had to use the hotel WiFi. And also no AC, so when it gets hot during the day, it was hard to stay inside or take a nap, nighttime was cooler so it was ok."
