"Elite class resort. From the valet parking, to the bell service, to the housekeeping staff. Everything was top notch here. The rooms are gorgeous….spend a little extra for an ocean view. Restaurants are amazing and there’s even a complimentary bike rental for guests. I will definitely be back"

Pacific Inn

8/10 Good
"Clean updated rooms and bathrooms. Air conditioning is a huge plus. The parking is very limited. I was very impressed with the size of the rooms and the bed was decently comfortable, just very loud when you move even slightly. The WiFi needs help, we got onto our Netflix and it kept pausing every few minutes until we gave up. No curtains to block out the morning light. Unfortunately I just find it overpriced."

Carmel Bay View Inn

Carmel Bay View Inn

8/10 Good
"This is a large facility and we were fortunate to have a 4th floor room which has a nice (partial) view of the ocean. We were within walking distance of downtown Carmel which was very helpful; we could leave the car parked in front of the room. The room was comfortably large, not cramped at all. We liked having a luggage rack for both of us--that doesn't usually happen. The breakfast was very nice--both hot and cold foods. Being on the 4th floor, an elevator was extremely helpful."
