Carmel Bay View Inn

Carmel Bay View Inn

10/10 Excellent
"Carmel Bay View Inn was an excellent place to stay! The staff starting from the front desk to all staff members we interacted with were very friendly and helpful! When we asked for extra pillows or towels the response was prompt and cheerful. The room was very clean, well appointed, and the view was impressive! Parking availability was easy, well lighted, and provided close access to our room. Located where easy walking to shops, restaurants, and a wonderful Deli/Grocery Market right by the Inn! Easy to find as you drive into Carmel. Highly recommend the Carmel Bay View Inn as we were able to book quickly and was a great value!!"
