A Wonderful Place to Relax and Enjoy Carmel

The Wayside Inn is our favorite place to stay in Carmel-by-the-Sea. The staff is outstanding, always welcoming and helpful. The rooms are charming, clean, and comfortable. We always sleep well at the Wayside! Its location is outstanding, close to shops and restaurants. Ms. Fabulous is perfect for finding the latest fashions. The sliders and beer at Mulligan’s are a great way to refuel at noon, and the happy hour at Vesuvio can’t be beaten. And Terry’s Lounge is perfect for classic charm and a cocktail. We definitely will return to the Wayside again and again!

Great place to stay! Close to all shopping and restaurants. Room was exceptionally clean. The couch in our room was dated but that didn't bother us. They do not have a continental breakfast. Nice man checked us in as well. We will be back!

Jo Ann, 1-night trip

Well located

All hotels are expensive in Carmel. Most offer an in room meagre “breakfast” but the wayside offers nothing - except coffee and cookies or fruit in reception. The complimentary reusable water bottles are a nice touch and tick the eco box - just a shame they come covered in plastic! Well located for the price
