“Nice stay”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 January 2012

people found this review helpful

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 a very reasonable price.

“Lovely big comfortable room, with balcony and views of the ocean”

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.

“Comfy room, great location.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 December 2011

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 us was the location - right next to a lovely market and walking distance to both the beachfront and lots and lots of restaurants. It was an easy drive down from San Francisco Airport and also easy to find - which is a big plus for us! We strolled round the pleasant little town - played golf the next day at a nearby course and had great food. The service at the Inn was very good - fast in and fast out - just what we like. This place is nothing fancy but it is clean and comfortable and you really cannot beat the location. We will definitely return and would not hesitate to recommend it to someone who is searching for a nice place to stay in Carmel.

Room Tip: We liked #68 because it was on the top tier in a residential area with it's own parking lot. Ver...

“Quality room @ a quality price!”

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 the Forge-in-the-Forest (really good french / american cuisine)

“Nice place to stay in Carmel”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 November 2011

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 helpful. The pillows could/should be replaced, but we know to bring our own. It is a great motel for the price, not fancy, but clean and comfortable
I would defintely stay again

Room Tip: ask for a room with a view
