Carmel Mission Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Was given a third floor jr suite with huge patio. It was an end unit which is a preferred location for quiet and privacy. Did not like the $30 a night to use the parking lot (?) figured it would be a given since I am staying there. All in all I would go and stay again."

Pacific Point Resort

8/10 Good

"This is the first time back at this hotel since the remodel. The rooms were very clean, comfortable beds and the bathroom was nice with two sinks and a nice shower. Our room was by the pool which at times can be a bit noisy with kids. This hotel use to offer breakfast with the reservation; it no longer does but now offers it for $25 per person.....that seems a bit ridiculous as there are several places within walking distance that have breakfast for much less. As always though....the ocean view is fabulous."

Vagabond Inn Bishop

8/10 Good

"The office staff were friendly and accommodating. The original room assigned was at the back of the Inn. I’m disabled so walking that far even to the front of the Inn wasn’t easy. After telling the person when checking in I was not happy with the room location, he quickly found us a room in the front of the hotel, which was perfect. The room was clean, the beds were a little hard, but the room itself was comfortable. I definitely will stay there on my next visit to Bishop and highly recommend it"
