I had an absolutely amazing time at Carmel Bay View Inn! The customer service was amazing and the young man that checked us in was so helpful and took the time to recommend some restaurants and sight seeing in the area. The room was super clean and I couldn’t recommend this more ! Amazing location close to so many restaurants as well. Thank you Carmel Bay View Inn!

Fireplace was nice - balcony had a great view! Breakfast was not especially good - very greasy, undercooked and fatty bacon. Property was on the edge of being too far away from beach, but overall a good stay.
