    This is our third time coming to Carmel, and if I win the lotto, I will buy here. It is like nothing else you can experience on the West Coast. There are so many shops, wine tasting, hundreds of wonderful restaurants, and, did I say shopping? We coordinated this trip with a concert at the Sun Set Center. If you can attend a concert there, you will not be let down. It was amazing and within walking distance.

    Carmel is a wonderful place to visit, we were lucky that the weather was so GOOD. The town has many great shops, restaurants and art galleries. It is a wonderful pace to celebrate a special occasion and there is Pebble Beach and the 17 mile drive!!

    Carmel is a cute, charming seaside town with plenty of shopping and restaurants. Mostly all parking is on-street parallel parking. The Adobe Inn, where we stayed, is located within a block of all the restaurants and shops and even has its own parking garage located below the Inn. At night the town pretty much clears out after 9 or 10, but walking back to the Inn felt safe. The town is also a great base if you are planning on visiting Monterey, 17 Mile Drive, or Big Sur.

    Carmel is the jewel in the PCH crown. A beautiful spot with its own personality. The cutest shops, amazing food and outstanding beaches. Super close to Big Sur and also the 17 Mile Drive - make sure you visit Peeble Beach Golf Club!

    The morning and afternoon is the best time to spend it in Carmel. During night time it’s not lit up as you think it would be. But during the day it’s absolutely amazing. All the shops, cafes, restaurants. The walking. Everything is near by. The beach to the town is like 10 min walk. We stayed for 3 nights and 4 days

    Although a little crowded before Christmas, we loved Carmel.

    Although a little crowded before Christmas, we loved Carmel. A lot of good restaurants to eat, not cheap, but a long list of great places. Friendly people. Great beach and other beaches near by. You can visit Monterey, close by.

    First thing if you do get a room in the block of rooms they have such the best view of Carmel River and all the animal life that goes up and down woke up to a blue heron probably 150 ft from my window fishing line on the river I don't know if you ever seen the movie vacation with Chevy Chase will in the beginning of the movie they show they traveled through Big Sur so I could truly say if the griswalts were going through they would have stayed at the River Inn:-)

    Classic traditional California golf course resort, understated and quiet. Not flashy or glitzy, just a comfortable and pleasant retreat in a lovely valley close to the best of the California coast. The rooms are welcoming and warm, like a very upscale condo more than a five star luxury hotel. The walks along the greens are punctuated by moments of zen-like beauty, with views of native plants, birds, and the distant hills.

    The room was very spacious and clean. The staff was friendly and accommodating. Due to covid the breakfast area was closed but they gave us a daily starter bag with water, juice, a mini pound cake and a banana. We couldn't have asked for more. The hotel is within walking distance to all the restaurants, shops and the beach. We would definitely recommend Carmel Bay View in to other travelers.

    Sparkling clean rooms right next to the river! Michael is lovely and goes out of his way to be sure your stay is comfortable. Jacob provided great local tips. I’ve stayed at several hotels in downtown Carmel. This will be my new go to as situated perfectly away from all of the chaos but still accessible. Great value for Carmel!

    A relaxed friendly hotel with welcoming staff in an excellent position in Carmel. Our room had a large balcony looking towards the sea which was lovely for catching the early evening sun. Very good value for a hotel with swimming pool in this central but quiet position in Carmel.
