Our room was super clean with quality updates that seemed new. Decor was well-appointed and the bed was very comfortable. We had a wrap around balcony with ocean and town views. The ocean breeze kept the room cool in the daytime and the fireplace kept us warm while enjoying the stars at night. Staff was hospitable and breakfast was excellent. It was a perfect stay!

A Carml Favorite

Cozy spot. One of our favorites in the area. Casual, moderately priced motor hotel. Comfortable rooms with gas fireplaces. Great location from which to walk and explore. Market next door, restaurants all over.

Best Little Inn

Carmel Bay View Inn was the highlight of our road trip! Quaint, extremely clean, close to Ocean Street, the main street in Carmel. We worked our car and never drove again. We definitely will come back.

Cute and easy!

Cute place in a great location. We liked it. Had some charm. Room was a good size. I don’t believe it had air conditioning so would confirm if going in the summer. Easy walk to everything. Simple but fine breakfast included that could save a fair amount of money vs eating out. Decent amount of road noise.
