There’s a a lot to love about this place. Fantastic location, easy to walk into town and enjoy Carmel. Staff was great. Very clean inside and out. Rooms have been updated nicely. Loved that there’s a fireplace. The not so nice is that we had some very loud neighbors so didn’t sleep well. But that’s not necessarily property’s fault, and the bed was very comfortable. Breakfast, so so. Overall, book it. You will not be disappointed.

The property and room are gorgeous with a great view of the ocean and a wonderful deck! There is a fireplace in every room and very spacious. The bed and pillows are extremely comfortable and if you open the windows you can hear the roar of the ocean. No noisy traffic or bright lights at night. Everything is spotless and the front desk person is so helpful and kind. It is especially amazing for the price and quality also it is a perfect location downtown with a little store next door. One of our favorite hotels, the pictures do not do it justice. We will always choose this hotel when staying in Carmel.

I had an absolutely amazing time at Carmel Bay View Inn! The customer service was amazing and the young man that checked us in was so helpful and took the time to recommend some restaurants and sight seeing in the area. The room was super clean and I couldn’t recommend this more ! Amazing location close to so many restaurants as well. Thank you Carmel Bay View Inn!
