Carmel Bay View Inn
"The complimentary breakfast is on par with what is available from Courtyard by Marriott. The location is great. Walking distance from everything in the town of Carmel."
Reviewed on Jul 1, 2026

Pine Inn
"Beautiful lobby at a historic hotel. However, sensible moderations (e.g. bathroom, more outlets and firmer mattress) would enhance the balance of staying at a heritage hotel. The location was great, walking distance to everything."
