Top Smallsea Hotel Reviews

Carmel Bay View Inn

8/10 Good

"Great clean hotel. Walking distance to the downtown and beautiful ocean. The parking at the hotel is VERY tight, I struggled with that a bit until I found a spot I could get into. I also thought it was noisy at night with people walking by room and talking. The next morning I realized the window had been opened all night so that would have helped. Overall it was a great place to stay."
