Carmel Bay View Inn

10/10 Excellent
"We had a short visit and wish we could have stayed longer. The room was lovely and the gardens were beautiful. Rhe breakfast was excellent and well maintained. The pool hours were not posted and I tried to go for a morning swim but the pool was locked. The location is ideal for walking around Carmel."
