Casa Munras Garden Hotel & Spa
Restaurant is delicious but expensive, rooms are a little dated, but clean and nice, beds are comfortable. They charge for parking, EV chargers are not complimentary, and parking is a disaster.

Carmel Mission Inn
We had a room next to stair way. Kept slamming, with a baby was not ideal. And there was huge spider nesting in the corner. Lot of windy noise. The aesthetic was great, just needed a little bit of deep clean
