This was a very nice hotel, well maintained. Great location at a reasonable price. Cool how it’s built into the side of a hill, yet they managed to have parking at each level. Loved the garden beside each door on our level. Very glad they have an elevator too, making it easier to get closer to ground level for walking to restaurants. I would definitely stay here again.

love the room!!! Front office was welcoming and nice. The staff around the place was not friendly or approachable at all. The breakfast was okay but they need to serve the full breakfast until the time is up we got there 40 minutes till the 10:30 and they didn’t have any more sausages I asked nicely to the kitchen lady to see if she was bringing more she was on her phone and just nodded with a mean face that she didn’t have anymore.

Our experience at the Carmel Bay View Inn was wonderful! The staff were friendly. The location is great. They upgraded us to an ocean view suite with a fireplace. We’ve been visiting Carmel for 25 years, and this was the best ocean view room we’ve ever experienced! Highly recommend!
