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
Cute hotel in Carmel and a quick drive to Carmel by the Sea. We really enjoyed our stay. The beds are super comfy. We didn't eat in the restaurant, but there are plenty of dining locations near by. Close enough to visit Monterrey as well. We would stay here again!
