Guest Reviews

• Susan (7/5): Spacious clean comfortable room - Cleanliness Good size comfortable room Deli next door. Free basic breakfast Noisy shower plumbing next door View from our window was roof of Deli next door which was covered in junk :(
• Herbert (7/5): - Das Frühstück war also wirklich nichts aussergewöhnliches. Alles in Einweggeschirr kein Brot, nur ein paar Bagles! Für eine Nacht ist es aber o. k.
• Melissa (10/5): -
• Linda (8/5): Location, location - Great location, spacious room, comfortable bed, great view from the balcony. As the access to the rooms are from different street levels more signs to direct to the reception would be great.
• Shine (7/5): - 还行
• Vanessa (9/5): - location and room amenities - view, deck, fireplace bathroom fan, VERY LOUD.
• Katelin (8/5): - I liked that check in and parking was SUPER easy. Breakfast was nice and nothing went wrong with our stay. Nice to have fridge in room as well. Breakfast was average but we didn't expect mush else so it wasn't an issue.
• Gillian (9/5): Carmel beach is wonderful - The location is great, especially the car parking as this can be difficult in Carmel . The king bed was great Poor quality breakfast.
• PHILIPPE (8/5): - Proche du centre
• Andrea (10/5): Well-appointed, convenient, welcoming staff. - Our room was so clean, the bed was extremely comfortable, having the fireplace and ocean view really made it feel luxurious. We loved being able to walk everywhere, including down to the beach for sunset. Can’t think of anything.
• Danielle (8/5): -
• César Javier (10/5): Muy agradable - La ubicación e instalaciones La cama y el desayuno
• Tadeus (8/5): Good and comfortable motel in Carmel, just eat breakfast somewhere else… - Very clean, comfortable room, no nonsense efficient check in, excellent location of the hotel, comfortable bed, nice fireplace , good shower Breakfast- unfortunately not good at all. But everything else was really satisfactory…
• Michelle (10/5): Was very satisfied and would recommend - Clean, friendly staff and location was perfect for downtown No Outdoor seating

• Thomas (8/5): -
• Germino (10/5): - Best Location for walking and exploring Carmel.
• Denise (10/5): Heavenly - One of the best stays I’ve had. N/a
• Barb577 (8/5): Clean but basic accommodation - The front desk manager was very friendly and helpful, earning this motel an extra “star” from us. The position is also good, within easy walking distance of all shops, restaurants and ammenities. The rooms are immaculately clean. The motel itself is very big (5 stories high with only the top 2 stories getting a view) and was quite noisy with people walking along the verandahs during the night. It’s pretty basic - not even bottled or filtered water provided in the rooms. Towels are on the small side and not very fluffy. The doona was the thinnest bed covering I have ever seen, and there were no spare blankets or pillows in the room. Breakfast was all highly processed food. We felt that the motel was overpriced for older and fairly basic accommodation. But it was very clean and we had a good night’s sleep, and were glad to be on our way.
• Jane (10/5): Enjoy staying here! - Convenient location to downtown. Parking available on site. Enjoyed the breakfast. Great staff! Narrow parking spaces
• Stneots (9/5): We can’t wait to return. - The view was outstanding and the location was perfect for us so close to the restaurants we like.
• John (6/5): -
• Antônio (9/5): Excelente custo-benefício - Quarto amplo e bonito, calmo. Além disso, o café é servido no quarto e tem uma degustação de vinho à tarde. O chuveiro é quente , mas a vazão da água poderia ser melhor
• Maria antonia (10/5): I will be back next year. - Love it All was great
• Brittni (10/5): - It was a great spot to walk and see the town or even down to the beach! Staff was amazing and very helpful and accommodating.
• Clineu (9/5): Muito boa - Apartamento amplo e claro, com frigobar Para que limpem o quarto tem que haver solicitação prévia
• Jane (9/5): - Great location walking distance to shops and restaurants.
• Zorick (4/5): - Location No air conditioners
• Danielle (10/5): -
• Meryline (10/5): -
• Isaac (10/5): - Clean facilities, location Nothing, all good
• Annette (9/5): -
• Jayson (10/5): - The bed was very comfortable and the room was very clean. The staff was very nice and personable. The continental breakfast was a perfect start to our day. Would definitely return if I stayed in Carmel by the sea.
• Anita (8/5): Clean, convenient, nice views, lovely grounds - I loved the lovely flowers everywhere. It was clean and inviting. Good location. Had a pool. Limited and inconsistent breakfast. Some days they had yogurt, some days not. Etc. Quirky elevator and stairs layout. Couldn’t use the stairs to get from 1st to fifth floor. Had to hop on the elevator in between.
• michaela (6/5): - Location Price
• Robyn (9/5): Great place to stay when exploring Carmel - Close to the centre of Carmel, large comfortable rooms and a pool
• Luz (10/5): -
• Candelaria (10/5): -
• Jose (7/5): - El baño estaba taqueado. No se vacía bien.
• Jones (8/5): -
• maria (10/5): Volvería - Personal muy querido las instalaciones muy buenas queda cerca de todo a pesar de no estar en el centro Todo muy bien
• Priscilla (8/5): Great hotel in cute town - The room was great. The staff was really helpful and provided a lot of restaurant suggestions. The fact the hotel has parking included is great because the city does get crowded, particularly around dinner time. I would, however, suggest the staff checks the parking lot at various times throughout the day. We arrived from a day out to find no available spots and had to find street parking for a few hours. This one is minor but we had not requested room service and had our room cleaned. No "do not disturb" sign was available. Of course we appreciate a clean room, but perhaps provide a "do not disturb" sign so as to not have any confusion as it pertains to guest preferences.
• KARIN (9/5): Lovely central location, nice breakfast and pool - Pool and breakfast Room was a bit loud due to neighbors but it ended early
• Patricia (9/5): Perfect spot in Carmel - Centrally located (and has parking!), quaint, friendly staff, it’s a solid choice
• Birgit (8/5): -
• Mercy (9/5): We had a wonderful time - The location The carpet in the rooms is old
• Ty (8/5): - All good All good
• Gloria (5/5): We were just to a concert and was our second time , but this time was not pleasant from breakfast. Candido the front sta - Close to a good dinning restaurant, uniques boutique store No air conditioner , free breakfast it’s not friendly when , we got there was missing scramble eggs , I ask one of the kitchen staff pregnant unpleasant woman with an attitude, I told her need scramble eggs she just replied they are cooking or coming soon , but they were not well cook scramble eggs they were soak of water like watery , with eggs you have to cook 100 percent to avoid salmonella or people can acquire poison soup
• Kathleen (9/5): - The location is perfect, the room was a good size and the bed was super comfortable. We had a good size balcony with an ocean view. Coffee in the room and a refrigerator was also very nice. The balcony door did not have a screen and the room did not have air conditioning. Carmel doesn't typically need air conditioning because it is a coastal town.
• Madison (10/5): Perfect ocean view at a great price - Centrally located, free parking, free breakfast, clean rooms, friendly staff No AC in the rooms, which wouldn't matter if the climate wasn't changing.
• Ibarra (9/5): Perfect Downton Stay - Location was amazing, everything was clean, and front desk was friendly and informative. N/A
• Françoise (9/5): -
• Steve (5/5): - There was no A/C in the room. I was literally sweating in bed.

• Ashlie (8/5): -
• Olena (9/5): Comfortable stay in a great location - We got upgraded to the suite, and it was a pleasant surprise! The room was very spacious and clean, with the ocean view from the balcony. The bed was quite comfortable. The location is great The water pressure was inconsistent
• Jacqueline (10/5): - Walking distance to all the shops
• Clara (9/5): Utmärkt läge och fin miljö - Bra läge, trevligt motell med pool Frukosten var kanske inte den bästa, men typiskt amerikansk
• susan (10/5): Awesome boutique hotel!!!! - This hotel was so conveniently located, just a few blocks from Ocean Avenue where a lot of the action is in Carmel. We walked to our dinner at Nora’s ( a GREAT restaurant) and then walked the shops back to the hotel. Very quiet, very clean, comfortable bed, and excellent staff with parking. There is a little store not 1/2 block away. It was a terrific value. I would definitely stay again. It was a little dated but super clean which was more important to me.
• Gabrielle (9/5): -
• Olivia (10/5): -
• Terri (9/5): Great day we will be back - Love where it’s at in Carmel so easy to walk everywhere it turned out to be very warm and there was no air-conditioning, but we opened the window and put the fan on
• Andrea (9/5): Great place to stay - Clean -crazy comfortable beds —great location

• Tigran (10/5): -
• Laura (7/5): It was nice for the price - Comfortable bed and great location, on site parking Thin walls, I could hear the tv next to me and people talking and loud in the morning especially because cars are parked right outside your door
• Ana (10/5): -
• Carol and Alan (8/5): -
• Alexia (8/5): -
• Pascal (10/5): -
• Carolin (4/5): - The ceiling and walls are so thin that you can hear every noise in the hallway and the guests in the room above ours. Couldn’t sleep much because of all the noise.
• Renee (10/5): - Very nice and clean. Close access to the main fairway through town. Clean, nice area, breakfast available.
• Ioana (9/5): -
• Laura (10/5): Excellent property, close to restaurants and shopping - Breakfast, fire place, location
• Katharine (9/5): -
• Huan (2/5): Very disappointing - The location is very good. However, the comforter on the bed is too thin. Plus, the AC/heat in my room is not working correctly. Even when I set it to 80°F, but the room feels like the 50s. The location
• Khin (8/5): - Location. In the middle of the downtown No air conditioning
• Cesar (10/5): - We always choose Carmel Bay View Inn. We love the view and the peaceful location with the convenience of the market just steps away. The Inn offers breakfast every morning and coffee and tea all day in the office in addition to what's offered in the room. The staff always welcomes you by name when you come in just to grab a cup.
• Joshua (10/5): -
• Connie (7/5): - Clean. breakfast,
• David (8/5): We've stayed now several times. Will return. - God breakfast and location. Skin lotion
• Cruz (8/5): - Great location, just no AC was a issue. Pretty humid and hot.
• Darren (9/5): -
• Timothy (10/5): A nice hotel in the heart of Carmel, that I highly recommend. - I was impressed by the Bay View Inn. The grounds were beautifully maintained, the facility was very clean, and the room was nicely appointed. I splurged for a bay view room on the top floor, and the views were stunning, with a balcony to sit on to enjoy coffee in the morning or to watch the sunset in the evening. The fireplace added a nice ambiance. We felt very comfortable and were living in luxury. The location is awesome, right in the heart of downtown Carmel, walkable to loads of world class restaurants, galleries, and the beach. The facility also had ample parking, which is necessary in Carmel. I saw many negative reviews about the breakfast, but I enjoyed the simple breakfast: bananas, danishes, yogurt, coffee, juice, cereal, scrambled eggs and breakfast sausage or bacon....No, it's not going to blow you away, but it's nice to have something prepped for you in the morning. So, I was appreciative that it was there. Bottom Line: I will stay here again and recommend it to anyone. The only thing I would ask the hotel to change is to allow access to the breakfast room until later hours in the evening, to allow access to hot water, coffee, and the microwave. I arrived in Carmel late in the evening, after restaurants had closed. My only option for dinner was to go to a grocery store and purchase cold salads, and pre-made sushi. I couldn't purchase anything that needed to be re-heated, unless I had access to the microwave in the breakfast room (which I noticed the next morning). I'm sure that would require extra staffing and cleaning, but it would be a nice benefit for patrons of the hotel.
• Sarah (10/5): We totally recommend this hotel. - The room was very nice and clean. It had everything we needed for our 2 night stay. I really wish this hotel was pet friendly. We have stayed here a couple of other times but we would stay here every time if our dog could join us when we bring her.
• Jonathon (8/5): -
• Rick (9/5): -
• Elaine (8/5): Beautiful break in stunning Carmel - The location was great, the room was beautiful with a gorgeous balcony view of the ocean. Friendly staff. A complimentary breakfast is provided but it is not great. Scrambled eggs too salty and sausages didn’t look right. Would be better to put on a better selection for breakfast and charge extra for it.

• David (10/5): -
• David (1/5): Avoid Booking.com or get fleeced! - Imagine the qualify, freshness of the items you see at a 7-11 grocery store and then LOWER your expectations to get to the items server for breakfast at Carmel Bay View inn!! The selection was limited to WHITE toast and tiny bagels with ONE flvor of cream cheese! Then add weak coffee and the $447 dollars per night and you will feel fleeced! The price per night was absurd! I can't help but feel fleeced and will NEVER book from Booking.com since I have no idea if the rate was padded by Bookings.com! I recommend using Google Travel or Expedia and avoid Booking.com
• Joseph (8/5): Extremely good value - Very clean and the bathroom was nice. Overall everything was well maintained. Could use some more sound proofing in walls.
