Carmel Bay View Inn

"If you're looking for a nice, comfortable local experience, then you should be pleased. Price is very affordable, our room was clean, bedding is updated and comfy. Shower was hot immediately and great water flow. The walls are thin and we could hear our neighbors talking (although you couldn't really tell what they were saying) and you can hear doors closing and the shower water plumbing sound. Breakfast was included and it was basic but just fine. Service staff was very friendly and the location is fabulous! There's a deli and market just around the corner and across the street from restaurants, Vesuvio and Grasing's. Staff at Grasing's was fantastic and so was the food and drinks. We stayed here for a little local exploration before we headed up to Sonoma and Napa for wine tastings. Perfect for this kind of little stay."

"I brought my family to Carmel for a short trip and chose to stay here. The environment is very comfortable, the location is great, and it is very quiet. Overall we had a wonderful stay and would definitely come back next time. The customer service was excellent. We had a small issue with the room at first, but the staff responded quickly and helped us resolve it in a very satisfactory way. Really appreciated their kindness and efficiency."

"Great for couple not great for family. Family is only on third floor with no views. Great stay for a day or 2. No USB charger. Shower is not strong pressure. Our bathroom door didn't lock. Luckily we stayed 1 night w/ family. Amazing continental breakfast. Eggs,becon,toast, muffins/Danish coffee/apple&orange juice. Cereal/yogurt. Save me alot of money since carmel by the sea is expensive place and this bay view inn is a great deal. The best location ever! Every food & attractions location you see in TikTok & YouTube is only a walk away! Carmel by the sea is unique town where it carter's older wine and overpriced foodies bubble. Nothing for kids except for the beach infested w/ flies and hard to enjoy."
