The convenient location of Carmel Bay View Inn allowed for easy access to shops and restaurants, essential due to limited parking in Carmel. Our family room provided privacy for our toddler, and the proximity to Bruno’s Market and Deli was convenient for supplies. The inn's pool, although a bit breezy, offered a nice break for our child. Michael's exceptional service and the beautiful views made our stay memorable. The nearby landmarks like The Pilgrim's Way Community Bookstore and Secret Garden and Dametra Cafe enriched our exploration, enhancing our family bonding. We look forward to returning.

The breathtaking sea views from my room at Carmel Bay View Inn made my stay unforgettable. Waking up to the sound of the waves and the sight of the ocean was truly rejuvenating. The hotel's thoughtful amenities, such as the free WiFi and coffee machine, added a touch of convenience to my relaxing getaway. The location near Ocean Avenue allowed for easy access to charming restaurants, boutiques, and art galleries.

The standard room's obstructed views of the water due to rooftop obstructions were a bit disappointing.

Bay View provides beautiful ocean views, especially during sunset. the spacious rooms feature a useful fireplace for cooler nights and quick access to Ocean Ave and downtown.

Breakfast quality needs improvement. Parking can be challenging.

The elegant fireplace was a delightful touch, creating a cozy ambiance that felt like a warm embrace on a chilly evening. It was the perfect spot to unwind and reflect on the day's adventures, just like being wrapped in a snug blanket.

Beds could be better.

The staff went above and beyond to ensure we had a great experience, from accommodating our needs to just being genuinely friendly and helpful. the rooms were spotless and cozy, with a fireplace that added a romantic touch. We especially loved the peaceful atmosphere that allowed us to relax and unwind. the location was perfect, right in the heart of everything Carmel has to offer, with breathtaking views of the ocean and sunset from our balcony. Being able to walk to fantastic dining options and charming shops made our stay even more enjoyable.

While our overall experience was wonderful, there are a couple of areas that could be improved. the parking situation could be better managed to ensure that hotel guests have convenient access.

Excellent location and amazing staff! The location of the hotel was perfect, within walking distance to shops and restaurants in Carmel. the staff was extremely friendly and helpful, making our stay enjoyable. However, the musty smell in the room was off-putting and should be addressed for a more pleasant experience.

Surrounded by beautiful greenery and a heated pool creating a fantastic atmosphere, our private sunny patio with a view was just what we needed for relaxation. Despite the lovely room, the noise from hallways could be a bit bothersome at times, but nothing major. 🌿🌅 Would recommend for a peaceful getaway. Thank you for a pleasant stay!

The Carmel Bay View Inn provided a comfortable and spacious room with a deck offering a stunning view of the ocean. The amenities, including the flat-screen TV, coffee machine, and free WiFi, made my stay convenient and enjoyable. The location, just a block away from Ocean Avenue, allowed easy access to charming restaurants, bars, boutiques.

The standard rooms with obstructed views of the water due to windows that have views of rooftops were a minor drawback. While the overall experience was delightful, having unobstructed views would have enhanced the stay even further.

The value for our money at this hotel was excellent. The room was beautifully styled with a cozy fireplace, and the location was perfect, just a short walk to the main street. The staff at Carmel Bay View Inn were friendly and accommodating, even granting us a late check-out when we needed more time.

stayed in carmel-by-the-sea before, but carmel bay view inn exceeded expectations. great bay view from 5th floor room with fireplace. comfortable bed, spotless bathroom, and friendly staff.

Breakfast was grab 'n' go bag.

We recently enjoyed a two-night stay at Carmel Bay View Inn. Our fifth floor king room with a balcony and ocean view was perfect. The location couldn't have been better, with some of the best restaurants and shops within walking distance. The room was clean, quiet, and well-maintained, and the owners clearly take pride in their property. The view of the ocean from the balcony was surprisingly stunning, and we loved sitting out there and enjoying the weather. The bed was comfortable, and the gas fireplace added a cozy atmosphere on the cool evenings. We would definitely stay here again.

Nothing to dislike.
