These days of watching our money closely we like to get out and still get bargains, we were surprsied to get a great deal in Carmel at this place for $89 when we just walked in off the street. The way were greeted so happily and warmly by the lady at the front desk was totally unexpected and welcome considering... More

We had to leave the room at midnight due to very strong chemical smell that in our opinion made the room unsafe to occupy. There is no one on the premise to request room change, so our only option was to leave.

I have stayed at the Carmel Wayfarer Inn a number of times and had an enjoyable stay for a bargain price. However, my last visit was a real let down. The Inn is under new ownership and things have really gone downhill. The room was dirty and smelly, the continental breakfast was awful, the wine and cheese hour had no... More

"Quaint"? if you idea of "quaint" is: mildew around the tub; an "ocean view" that is primarily roof-tops; a skimpy "breakfast" of Webbers and basic "Brown Bead", a pathetic waffle maker and very diluted coffee; a bed that is guaranteed to send you to a chiropractor; out-of-date and very tired decor; sand-paper towels....then, this is a very quaint place to...

Very sad, we had previously stayed here a few years ago under previous ownership and were dissapointed with our return. The hotel would be very nice if they would just put a little TLC into it. The carpets were worn and the room had lingering odor. The room was dusty and looked like it hadn't been dusted in a while.... More

We booked this hotel over the phone on a summer weekend when it was the last property available. And on arriving we discovered why! The place would actually be quite charming if weren't for the frowsy, bedraggled air that permeates every corner. We arrived just before sunset and there were guests sitting out on the patio with glasses of wine... More

By far the worst the hotel I've ever stayed in. In fact we lost our non refundable deposit because we refused to stay there. The room was old, dirty, smelled bad, worn out carpet, bed spread had stains ......the fireplace glass was totally fogged to a point you could see only 10% of the fire...I could continue. We left the... More

Very centrally located relatively close to downtown shopping and restaurants. Large room with King-size bed and fireplace. Had corner room so even got that wonderful cross-ventilation off the bay. Clean rooms and bathroom, very comfortable bed, pillows and comforter. Rug is rather worn. Nice continental breakfast, including 'make your own waffles'. Can even eat outside on the patio which has... More

The hotel is very pleasant with an attractive courtyard where guests can relax in the sunshine. The room was clean and well furnished,though an iron and tea/coffee making facility would have been appreciated. The staff were friendly and the evening invitation to complimentary wine tasting was a nice touch. The buffet continental breakfast was sufficient to set you up for... More

This was an interesting place. You would not even know this town was here just by driving by. It is nestled back off the road and is full of surprises. The Hotel was a bit hard to find since the the town does not use address numbers. The Hotel seemed to be a lot like a B&B. I really enjoyed... More
