This place is difficult to find, especially in the dark (the GPS directed me to the wrong hotel...and no, I did not select that hotel :P). The room is quite big. The breakfast is very basic, but ok. More

This is an older motel that has been well renovated. It has spacious and very clean rooms with fireplaces and good parking, important in Carmel. It is a short walk to Ocean Ave. and all of the shops and restaurants. The beds are exceptionally comfortable and the staff was attentive and polite. A good place to stay in Carmel at... More

We relaly loved this hotel, the room was large and comfortable and in the corner was a gas fire with real flames. We went in Nov so the evenings were cool and the fire made it so cosy. Carmel is a wonderful place, well worth turning off Highway 1 to explore and enjoy a walk along the beach. More

The Carmel Bay View Inn had everything we needed for a very pleasant 2 night stay at the end of September 2011. We had room #68 at the highest point of the three levels and if we stood on tiptoe we could see the ocean over the treeline! The room was clean and very quiet and comfortable. Best thing for... More

This hotel was nothing magical but was enjoyable. Came here on a spur-of-the-moment trip to the Monterey area this past fall with my wife and 6 year old. We had a comfortable room with a spacious balcony and a view of the Pacific. Overall, a great place to try out if you're in the area. Also, its walking distance to... More

My husband and I stayed two nights at the Carmel Bay View Inn. We travel to Carmel/Monterey area quite often, at least several time a year. This motel is centrally located, and offers some great values. We had a ocean view room, (really a peak of ocean due to the trees) with a balcony. Room was clean, front office very... More

We loved the place, great location, rooms are very nice. I highly recommending to everybody! More

My wife and I stayed in the Best Western Carmel Town House Lodge last time and were very satisfied. This stay we decided to splurge. I paid more for what I thought was a nicer hotel with a ocean view. I was very wrong. Right off the bat the staff at the front counter were very rude. We got our... More

First of all, I should point out that we've never stayed in Carmel before. So I have no other hotels to compare this one to. We managed to get a last minute booking at the Bay View Inn - it was Poodle Parade weekend and most of the hotels were full. Carmel does seem to have a pretty busy schedule... More
