    prime location
    breakfast delivery
    delicious pastries
    noise disturbances
    limited parking

    The location is prime, right in the heart of downtown with easy access to shops and restaurants. Breakfast delivery to your room includes delicious options like quiche and freshly baked pastries, making mornings a delight.

    Noise from the first floor can be quite disruptive. I heard footsteps and other guests late at night, which felt like living in an old apartment. The heater made irregular loud noises that affected my sleep, and parking is a hassle during busy weekends, as there are more rooms than spaces available. On top of that, I noticed some outdated furnishings that didn't match the charm of the area.

    I loved the cozy and inviting ambiance of the lobby, which made it easy for me to mingle with other guests. The welcoming atmosphere and elegant decor added to my delightful experience during my stay at Wayside Inn.

    Limited parking options were a bit inconvenient.

    Good intentions, flawed execution

    The location is excellent with cozy rooms and friendly staff, making it easy to explore nearby attractions. Complimentary coffee and treats in the lobby are nice touches.

    Parking is limited and can be frustrating during peak times, which detracted from the overall experience.

    great stay but a bit far from the beach

    The check-in experience was seamless and the host was welcoming. The fresh bakery and coffee in the lobby created a cozy atmosphere.

    It's a bit far from the beach.

    local dining
    spacious room
    charming cafes
    noisy heater
    dismissive staff

    We thoroughly enjoyed the amazing local dining gems like Flying Fish Grill and Mundaka Restaurant, serving up delightful dishes that truly captured the essence of Carmel! Plus, the location allowed for sweet strolls to charming cafes like Rise + Roam Bakery. Our room was spacious and perfect for our family getaway.

    Just a heads up, the heater was a bit noisy and we dealt with some odd carbon monoxide alarm issues. The morning staff didn’t really address our concerns, leaving us feeling a little on edge, but the overall experience was still pleasant.

    A Perfect Getaway with Exceptional Comfort!

    Our stay exceeded expectations! The gas fireplace in our spacious king suite created a cozy ambiance. Enjoyed breakfast delivered to our door—what a lovely treat! For the best beach access, stroll straight down the road. Don't miss the soaking tub. it truly adds to the relaxation.

    fantastic location
    cozy well-furnished room
    disruptive noise
    street parking

    The location is fantastic, making it easy to explore the charming town. The room was cozy and well-furnished, though the noise from upstairs was a bit disruptive at times. Breakfast service was a nice touch, but street parking can be tricky during busy hours.

    jetted bathtub
    cozy fireplace
    noisy ceiling

    I had a lovely stay, the jetted bathtub was a fantastic addition, and I adored the cozy fireplace in the room. Unfortunately, the ceiling was quite thin, making it a bit noisy at times. But overall, it was a delightful experience!

    great location
    delicious breakfast
    exploration opportunities
    early morning noise

    We had an awesome time with friends exploring nearby kayaking and sailing. The location was perfect to walk to shops and restaurants, and the breakfast delivered to our room was a lovely perk. Just a heads up, if you're a light sleeper, you might want to opt for a second-floor room to minimize noise from downstairs.

    We were woken up early by noises from the basement, which didn't help with our sleep.

    ideal location
    complimentary water bottles
    disruptive noise
    limited parking
    late-night disturbances

    The location is ideal, offering easy walks to shopping, restaurants, and the beach. We loved the spacious room equipped with a kitchenette and a cozy lounge area. Complimentary water bottles and fresh fruits were a nice touch, as were the well-stocked lobby snacks. However, noise from above was disruptive during our stay, and parking was limited. It can be frustrating to circle the area looking for a spot, especially on busy weekends.
