Downtown Carmel Hotel Deals
Carmel Bay View Inn
Older property. Staff was great. Drafty room. Could see light around the door. Wall heater was noisy and did not put out enough heat for the room. Window in the bathroom was above the toilet and you could see blurred people sitting on the toilet when walking by going to your room.
