Carmel is a fabulous place to visit and the hotel was in a good location. The room was well equipped with a pod style coffee maker, mini fridge, nice bath products, good shower. There was a complimentary metal water bottle. The lobby had coffee, good cookies, and apples available any time of the day. The staff were helpful. There was a quiet time after 10 pm which we appreciated. There was no breakfast but there was a great bakery with coffees right next to the hotel.

The furniture and carpet were pretty run down and old. The staff said they were heading into a renovation, so hopefully this review will be outdated soon.

This was our second stay at the Wayside Inn and again we were most pleased with the service, the room, the comfort of the bed was great ,and the location of the Inn was perfect. The only negative this visit was that we were on the first floor and the family above us had a young child and we could hear her during the night crying out to her parents and when her parents walked on the floor, it creaked fairly loud. The reception staff were very friendly and approachable and made us feel very welcome and appreciated.

We had asked for a quiet room and in hindsight, I wish they had placed us on the second floor for the reason I mentioned above.

its a small boutique inn at a great location. It i walking distance to every attraction point. Just a lıttle bit far from the beach but its like just 15-20 mins walk, we went by car because we have little kids. We had a great check in and check out experience, there was a very nice friendly host who welcomes us. The hotel offers fresh bakery and coffee in the lobby area. There is ice and water machine where you can always make refills. The room was very well sized , very comfortable. Our overall experience was much better than we expected. Thansk .

nothing

The check in was very pleasant. We were offered an upgrade without even a request. There were complimentary reusable water bottles waiting in the room. Complete kitchen facilities. Basic utensils. We were also allowed to park in their lot hours before check-in. Check-in clerk also helped with a minor first aid situation. Cheers!!!!

Nothing. OK, maybe if it was cheaper, but that is my default. It was well worth the money in expensive Carmel. Come to think of it, if they had a sedan chair to carry us through town, that might be nice.

Amazing location!! Stay exceeded expectations and we were so pleased with our experience. Room is spacious. Loved the complimentary coffee and cookies in the lobby. Booked as a last minute getaway to celebrate husband's birthday and we had a fantastic time. Will definitely stay again next time in Carmel. Loved that parking (when available) was included.

Parking options were limited

Location was wonderful! The room had some very nice amenities which all worked great - microwave, fireplace, jacuzzi tub, bathrobes to name a few. It was very comfortable. The fireplace was so nice to have on our rainy stay. There was also a jacuzzi tub which I didn't expect, but it was sure nice to have. We had a really great time on our stay and I would recommend to others.

A lot of pros about this place - about the only con I might say is the living room was dark (it was how our room was situated - not much natural light in that area) and the furniture was dated and not the most comfortable. This was a pretty small thing when compared to all the other plusses this place offers.

The location was great. The hotel was quiet but just a block from many restaurants and shops. The 50s retro style and large suites were a plus. The parking was very convenient. Although not a service-based hotel, the front desk handled all questions and minor issues.

This is not a corporate hotel, but we liked that it was not.

Nice friendly staff, excellent location and restaurants close by. The property really carried the Carmel charm. We took three morning hikes right from the front door of the Inn. Cafe Luna in the Carmel Plaza next door has the best home-made pot stickers (unbelievable!), the best (real) breakfast sandwich (it is huge so my wife and I split), and a super top-quality Ramen. We had five meals at this location in our three-day stay, and we noticed locals there every time we visited. The proximity to Wayside Inn made it "sure thing" for us. For an indulgence, try a donut from Dutch Door Donuts right upstairs from Cafe Luna. Finally, I saw happy faces on others that stayed at the Inn. :)

None really observed. We arrived on a hot day (a rarity for Carmel), so the room took awhile to cool. There are no air conditioners in 99% of the hotels due to proximity to the sea.

We had the downstairs room that was adjacent to the street. Surprisingly very little traffic noise. The galley kitchen and separate lounge were very useful during our stay. The location was exceptional. Right in the heart of Carmel. Shops, restaurants and beach all within easy walking distance.

The courtyard? bedroom had noisy air condition and you could hear people outside banging about at night.

Perfect location, quiet. Nice coffee/breakfast shop across the street as well as restaurants. Staff friendly and knowledgeable.

The mattress we had was in need of an update. The floor above us had very squeaky floors which woke us up.
