"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"Brown Bead", a pathetic waffle maker and very diluted coffee; a bed that is guaranteed to send you to a chiropractor; out-of-date and very tired decor; sand-paper towels....then, this is a very quaint place to...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

Okay, the whole place is in need of a major make-over (that should start this year). The rooms are quiet and the beds are good. The prices are reasonable and the management professional and caring. What really separates this place is their happy hour. In the two nights I stayed there I met some fascinating people: one of the last... More

Remember, this is Carmel. The pictures look better than the property. It is in desperate need of renovation and cleaning. Room #16 had mold around the windows and on the ceiling in the bathroom. The carpet needs to be stretched. My wife said the mattress had a bad odor. The fireplace is the heat source but the glass is so... More

My wife and I recently spent 2 days at the Carmel Wayfarer Inn and could not have been happier with our experience and stay. For a very reasonable price we had a large, very quiet and very comfortable room (#18) with a fireplace and view of the ocean. The location is great, two blocks from Ocean Ave., the main downtown...
