Carmel Bay View Inn
10/10 Excellent
"We checked in on Sunday afternoon which was the last day of the very big annual "Car Week" events on the peninsula. This meant alot of very cool - and some very "throaty", powerful cars on the roads, including Junipero St right in front of the hotel. But by Monday & Tues the noise of cars passing by out front reving their engines had for the most part passed. Not a big deal for us, we only overlapped this cacophopny by a day during out stay.
The location is great - especially the WONDERFUL deli market "Bruno's" right next door. Great wine selection at market (vs restaurant) prices, so we shared a bottle of our favorite wine in our room or by the pool every night, before walking to dinner, so we only had to buy one glass each at restaurant prices ($13 - $20 per glass).
EVERYTHING in Carmer is within easy walking distance, even the beach. And I used the pool all 3 days we were there, to cool off in the afternoon and read my book.
The rooms have great mattresses, first class fixtures (new windows, shutters, bath fixtures), all very classy & cozy. Even a gas fireplace! (No air conditioning, but we left the windows open at all times, even when we were out each day, and locked valuables in our car. You never need to move your car while in Carmel, staying this close to everything. We actually needed to use the fireplace each morning, in August, because it gets so cool ovenight.
Don't miss the free breakfast each morning...it will save you at least $30 for two, vs eating out!!"
"Great location, walk to beach or everywhere in town and more! Bed was very comfortable, hotel is old but spacious and parking can be a challenge, they have a parking lot but not enough spots for all guests so a couple of nights we were on the street but it worked out😎"
"Beautiful house with everything just right, a great fully equipped kitchen with a wonderful coffee machine, nice bedrooms, great location. Terrific local agent Marcus who was super helpful."
"The staff went above and beyond. Everyone on the staff was friendly and helpful
We enjoyed the breakfast buffet very much. It is not your typical pastry, coffee and cold cereal. Something for everyone and if you have any dietary restrictions let them know and they will accommodate your needs. I don’t eat gluten myself and they went out of their way to bake some gf berry muffins for me! "
"We couldn't have been happier with our stay at Carmel Beach Hotel. Everything was lovely... from the staff to the room, to the grounds and location, to the delicious breakfast and special touches offered. Would highly recommend! 10/10"
"We traveled with our dog and we loved how each cottage can enjoy your own privacy and the property has plenty of beautiful outdoor space and grounds to walk around our dog.
The decor was also nice and the bathroom was updated. The location is very accessible to restaurants and grocery just across the way (though not walkable, it’s an easy less than 5 minute drive.)
We got to enjoy the town and the beach all within less than 10 minutes drive from the inn.
