Top Downtown Carmel Hotel Reviews

Carmel Bay View Inn

8/10 Good

"I stay here on every trip to Carmel/Monterey for three reasons: 1) Parking 2) Close to downtown 3) Reasonable rates The only negatives on this trip was no "Do not Disturb" placard available to use, and heavy footsteps above (maybe lack of sound insulation?)."

The Monterey Hotel

8/10 Good

"The hotel is very convenient and very nice. Our room was a tiny one but it had what it needed, clean linens and a clean bathroom. The public parking lot a half a block away was surprising easy to get in and out of. Maybe we got lucky finding a space there when we needed one since it was easily the least expensive part of the weekend. Parking is free after 6pm and free on Sunday’s. "

Monterey Beach Hotel, A Tribute Portfolio Hotel

8/10 Good

"Great location, love the sound of the ocean and the waves right out your front door however… our room was located on the first floor under the lobby and it was very loud early in the morning and into the late in the evening. If I were to go back, I would ask for a room far away from the lobby and the fire pits out front as there were a lot of kids that were also noisy."
