For Carmel this motel is very well priced and within easy walking distance to the local shops and beach. Staff are very friendly and the rooms are large with all the comforts that you need, breakfast is included probably not the best and basic but did the job. Suggest stay on the top floor as we did with great views... More

Decent parking and fair price, both difficult to find in Carmel! Our room was large, clean, and comfortable. The office was quite a distance from our room, but we had no difficulties with the wi-fi. We enjoyed our 3-night stay.

We have stayed at this hotel many times before and will continue to do so in the future. A very big plus for this property is the elevator and they also have rooms on the ground level so if you can not walk up and down stairs there are plenty of rooms for you to choose from. Our room (44)... More

The rooms are clean, and the staff is helpful ... plenty of parking. The location is good and fairly easy to find. The breakfast is pretty much all carbs ... limited choice of fruit.

Our stay at the Best Western Carmel Bay view Inn was nice. Let me start with the things that we thought should have been better. The WiFi is horrible. Don’t expect to get good service unless you are close to the office. There just aren’t enough outlets to power things. We stayed in room 66 on the 5th floor and... More

This hotel is well situated in Carmel. It is one block from Ocean Avenue and all the shops. It's a pleasant walk to the beach. Conveniently located next door is a small grocery store and deli, great for picking up snacks and drinks. We would end each day by the pool enjoying our snacks. The hotel is clean and the... More

Pay a little extra for the fifth floor to get the view. Gas fireplaces in the huge room with large balcony. Bed super comfy. Breakfast average to blah.

Nice hotel, centrally located to shopping and dining in Carmel by the sea. Very clean rooms, comfy beds, flat screen tv with partial ocean view. There is a heated pool, which we did not use but it looked well maintained also. Pretty quiet no noises coming from surrounding rooms. Only complaint is that it is not a dog friendly hotel,... More

Room was excellent though a little difficult to keep warm in the rain, wind and cold. Location worked well for walking around Carmel and spending time on the beach. Staff most helpful. Breakfast like any Best Western was boarderline but you know that when you book.
