Carmel Bay View Inn

10/10 Excellent

"Nice hotel in a great location. We booked an upgraded room on the 4th floor that had a great view and roomy balcony. I didn't see an air conditioner, so we kept the windows open and that was fine. Staff was great. Breakfast was included and was ok, about like HI Express. There's a nice market and deli next door which was super convenient. Price was reasonable. I would definitely stay there again."
