Very nice room with separate living room with fire place and tv in each room. Well equipped. My only complaint is that the mini fridge must have had something spoil in it at one time…smell was awful. You should replace it. Not much parking but we got a spot.

A very nice room with a comfortable bed and cute little patio space. The fireplace is great and easy to use. The only thing I wish the room had was a mini fridge.
5.0 / 5.0
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The suite was spacious, clean and nicely decorated. We especially enjoyed coffee in the room and the complimentary reusable insulated water bottles and daily cookies and fresh fruit. The location was perfect for walking through Carmel and easy to walk to the beach.

Very clean, cute and cozy!! Would definitely come again if I was guaranteed a parking spot as we had to park several blocks away.

Great location and wonderful rooms, but parking is limited. Comfortable beds, nice balcony, spacious room, close to shopping and dining. It was a decent walk to beach, but do-able - (hills) may be a challenge for someone with limitations. Once we parked on site, we were able to walk everywhere for our stay which was very nice.

All of the above!

We didn't find information in advance while booking that parking on site is like a lottery - despite it's free for the guests, be prepared to be surprised when you leave your spot to find it already taken. This was not mentioned by the administration when we checked in upon arrival as well. It seems that there is not enough parking space for all the guests. Good to know that public parking was free 5 minutes walk away from the hotel.
However, Carmel itself left great impression with it's restaurants and surroundings.

The Wayside Inn is a perfect spot for a quick visit to lovely Carmel by the Sea. Great location, near Ocean Avenue. We scored a parking spot in the property!! Very nice staff, we look forward to coming back soon.

We love the Wayside Inn! The rooms are charming, while never looking worn or dated. Our room was spacious and comfortable, with a cute balcony where we could enjoy our morning coffee. The bed was luxurious, and the amenities greatly appreciated. The staff greeted us with courtesy and helpfulness — everyone was eager to make our stay as pleasant as possible. Their eco-friendliness extends to complimentary reusable water bottles that cut down on the use of plastics and were also a nice memento of our stay. The Inn is convenient to terrific restaurants and shopping. A wonderful place to enjoy your vacation in Carmel-by-the-Sea!

We very much enjoyed our stay. The room was a large suite with a separate living room that included a very comfortable couch, chair with ottoman. The bed was very comfortable. We opted for the fireplace which was wonderfully cozy. The location couldn’t be better! Walk to everything, including the beach and great restaurants. We are already planning our next stay. I highly recommend Wayside Inn!

Great service and great location. Lots of little “delighters” to make the Inn a place that we will enjoy again in the future.

Very comfortable room with luxurious bedding. Very helpful staff (Thanks Collin!) even provided restaurant recommendations with discounts due to their relationship with the Wayside Inn. Short walk to restaurants, bakeries, shops. Beautiful views of the ocean in walking distance. Very close to 17 mile drive.

Friendly staff. Place was really cute, clean, spacious. Great location. Parking was easily availble. The beds however were too soft. I found them uncomfortable, woke up with backpain. Also, footsteps from outside or next rooms kept us awake at night.

Good location but rooms are dingy and outdated, beds are uncomfortable and you can hear every single sound and footsteps from upstairs

What a delightful surprise the Wayside Inn has been! Lovely, spacious, updated room comfortably appointed, and with great beds and pillows. It’s in a terrific location, close to everything, but quiet, too. We got a restful nights sleep before hitting the stores and restaurants.
I will definitely stay here on my next visit to Carmel and will also recommend this wonderful hotel to my friends.

This property is perfect for a quick getaway to Carmel! Within walking distance to all the wonderful restaurants and shops as well as Carmel Beach! The bedding is amazing, you won’t want to leave your room to explore the beauty of Carmel!

Very nice stay overall. Love the updated king rooms with the fireplace and the jetted bathtub is amazing and was able to fill and enjoy without running out of hot water. The private little courtyard was nice for enjoying coffee or a glass of wine. The only real negative is the ceiling seems to be quite thin and our headboard wall was against an outside stairwell and we could hear every step up the stairs and across the floor above us. We were there Fri-Tues and the weekend night were the worst, quieting down on the weeknights. Overall our stay was very enjoyable however, next time we will get a room upstairs if available. BTW, their coffee is excellent and the cookies each day are delicious.
