The Carmel Bay View Inn (best western) is located uphill from the beach and away from the very very busy Ocean Drive tourist crowd. The inn has great views if you stay on the top floor facing Junipero Street. We had two different rooms (we broke up the trip in the middle) and rooms on the top floor had the... more

Our family stayed at this hotel for 2 nights with magnificient ocean view. We loved the modern decor, comfortable bed, nice bedding, clean bathroom, and the swimming pool. The location is perfect-close to everything in town. We will return to Carmel, only to stay at this hotel. more

Great location conveniently close to the centre of Carmel. Rooms are large and in good condition. Our only complaint was that the internet service to the part of the hotel we were in wasn't working ... and the froint desk staff didn't know it. more

Stayed in room 22 for two nights. Adequate size with a very comfortable bed and a fireplace but the bathroom was a little small although nice. The included continental breakfast was nicely done. There is a great little market right next door that has everything you might need and a little further away is a sundry store. Overall a very... more

I tried to make a reservation on my I-phone and had difficulty so I finally gave up and called to make the reservation. On line the room was $107, imagine my surprise when we got there and the room was $190+ tax. At least they gave us a AAA discount that brought us down to $190 again. In fairness, Francisco... more

I was impressed, it isn't fancy, but someone has put a lot of time, thought, and attention into this place. One thing, and it's funny because it isn't hard but so few places go to the trouble, the landscaping, there are flowers everywhere: pots, window boxes, beds, any place they can find to stick flowers they do it and I... more

We stayed at this BW as part of a cross country road trip that included the Big Sur/Monterey area, and I was sooooo pleasantly surprised! This seriously must be the nicest best western on earth. It was located right in town within walking distance to the beach, many restraunts/bars, and shopping. The rooms appeared to be recently remodeled as the... more

Best Western needs to take Customer Service 101. I made a reservation for May 23rd directly with this inn on the phone about 6 weeks prior to my arrival. On the scheduled arrival date, we arrived shortly after 9 pm after driving five grueling hours amidst narrow winding mountain roads, only to be told that they had us reserved for... more

We spent two nights at this hotel while exploring the Carmel/ Monterrey area. The location couldn't be better, the room was nice , very clean and had a fireplace that would be nice in a cooler season. We booked ahead and received a very good $99 AAA rate even on a Saturday night. The breakfast was minimal but adequate, What... more
