Carmel Bay View Inn

9.2/10

Posted on Dec 1, 2025

Carmel is a beautiful town and the hotel is in the town centre, so the location is perfect. Room was a little dated, but reasonably clean. On the night we arrived to check in, staff was super friendly and helpful. He gave us detailed instructions regarding our room and parking, also local restaurants recommendations. His service was a 5 star! On the morning of departure, we vacated the room and checked out at 9am. We went for a stroll in the town, and returned after an hour. When we returned at 10am I asked the staff (not the friendly staff helped us check in) if I can use a restroom. Knowing we just checked out, the staff bluntly replied there isn’t public toilet in the hotel, so we’d better use the one in the local park. When we asked if we could go back to our room to use the toilet as it’s still early. His said the cleaners were already in. We then walked to our car which was next to our room, only to find the cleaners hadn’t been at all. Zero hospitality, disappointed.

Facilities: There is a fireplace in the room, love is miserable! Hygienic: It looks very clean! Service: The service is very good and the reception is warm. The breakfast is a bit rudimentary. Hotel location is very good, you can walk to the beach. Be sure to go to the beach to watch the sunset in the evening, beautiful. There is a restaurant near the hotel, you can eat if you are hungry.

La Playa Hotel

recommend! A very romantic hotel in Carmel. It is a 12-minute walk from the small street in the city center and a three-minute walk from the beach. You can watch the orange beach sunset in the room. The building and decoration of the hotel have a Spanish style. There is a garden with good vegetation. Many places are suitable for internet celebrities to take photos. Breakfast is very careful. In the evening, there are sangria wine and chocolate cookies. The rooms are relatively small, but the hotel service is very warm

We stayed at this hotel the day before the Monterey marathon event. The bed was big and comfortable. However, it was noisy because the walls were thin and the Monterey Airport is nearby. There are free coffee and apples and chocolate bars in the lobby!

The hotel is very clean. When I took a shower, I was surprised that the white shower curtain didn't have any stains. I booked an ordinary motel with low expectations, but the sanitary conditions far exceeded expectations. The refrigerator and microwave were fully equipped, and the bed was quite comfortable. Breakfast is packaged and taken away by yourself. Each bag contains milk, fruit, cheese, etc. You can take cereal and coffee as you like. In short, it is quite good to stay for one night while passing by. There is a gas station below the hotel, and there doesn't seem to be much noise. Maybe some truck drivers will stay here, but it's quite friendly.

Holiday Inn Express AT MONTEREY BAY by IHG

The hotel view was superb. Staying on a high floor facing away from the main road, the morning view was absolutely stunning! There's also a heated swimming pool and a soaking tub, but unfortunately we didn't bring our swimsuits, so we couldn't experience them. The hotel elevators were a bit old; we were worried about getting stuck inside. The breakfast was just average, a typical American breakfast. However, the hotel had an automatic pancake machine, which was interesting. The overall environment was nice, but the lack of a laundry room deducted one point from the facilities.

Good facilities, there are fridge and microwave in the room, quite helpful for travelers who want to est something simple for breakfast or dinner. The room service helps to keep the room clean. Downside is it can be noisy at night and can hear the outside when the people outside is loud.

The hotel is in a good location, quiet place in the small town of Carmel. The facilities are old. There are spider webs on the window. The mattress can hear the sound of springs when you turn over. Several are cheaper in this area. The restaurant opposite the corner is delicious.

The room was quite spacious and came equipped with a coffee maker and a microwave. I was assigned a first-floor room, and an elevator is also available for convenience. Overall, it's a nice hotel. The only minor issue was when I went to make coffee, I found a used coffee pod from the previous guest still left in the machine.
