Hyatt Carmel Highlands

4.0 star property
8.4 out of 10, Very Good, (732)
"We stayed in room 542. The room has a mildew smell, probably due to the damp nature of the positon of the room on the property. However, the management should provide some diffusers in the room to mask the mildew smell if they cannot solve the root cause of the issue. It is like sleeping with a waterlogged piece of driftwood with mushrooms. The room is nice other than that unpleasant feature."
