Carmel Bay View Inn

10/10 Excellent

"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.
