Mallory
The staff here was amazing and we really loved the recently updated rooms. The free on-site parking was convenient and we loved the added bonus of local affiliated businesses discounts.
Hannah
Really beautiful renovations. Great location. The parking was a little tricky but it worked out.
Rollin
Was very clean and staff was really nice.
Casey
It was well renovated, clean, located conveniently. Everything was fine except that we got the first floor room and could clearly hear everything happening above us. Sound insultation was really bad, we could hear the next door snoring, seriously. The view from the windows was parking lot so had to keep the blinds down all time. Not terrible but overpriced.
Marthe
This was even better than I expected! Our room seemed newly redone and the property is so convenient to walking around town. Loved our stay!
David
We wished to inquire about the free breakfast but no one answered the phone as Front Desk before 8AM? Most travelers get going early in the AM. Had to eat breakfast elsewhere.
Jamie
Beautiful, large rooms in a wonderful location. The mattress is very comfortable. Everything was very clean and well taken care of.
Scott
The room was amazing. Great location.
Shipman
Staff was great!! We were the first to stay in our renovated room which was done really fantastic!! The only downside was the water pressure in the shower was very weak. I let the office know and hope the fixed it! Its truly a quaint awesome property!! My other regret is I left the hotel before They opened the front office and I didn’t get my cookies!! Ughh they were really good and i got them during our check in! I would definitely stay there again!!
Claudia
The room is clean! The cleaning staff is wonderful and spoke Spanish like myself and my partner. Parking spots go fast, but, also? people come and go all day.
Peter
Great location. Great staff. Roll out of bed and you’re right there!
RICHARD
Everything was wonderful
Constance
This hotel is had classic vibes. Lovely, spotless rooms. Great fireplaces and balconies. Some rooms are the perfect view for the gorgeous Carmel sunsets.
Julien
The room was clean and spacious, the bed super comfy
Paula
I booked this hotel based on the pictures of rooms. It looked so bright and cheery... Not So.. We had room #3. It was in an alcove and the room was the darkest hotel room I have encountered on my travels. The king suite was ok, it had a gas fireplace, but you needed lights during the day. The king size bed and sofa were terrible. Both very worn, and need to be replaced, very uncomfortable. I also did not like that you had to exit the bedroom through the bathroom to get to the small living room area. It was also a little overpriced for the condition of bed and sofa. Liked where the property is located, and of course love Carmel, but did not really like room #3.
Jessica
The location was great, check in was easy, and the room was large and clean. We only got one parking permit with the room but street parking was pretty available. The beds looked smaller than queens but were comfortable.
Marianne
Wayside was a lovely choice for us. Free parking and walkable to everything we wanted. Staff were all courteous and helpful. They allowed us to check in 2 hours early and an hour late. The beds and bedding are luxurious and so comfortable. There were premium channels, such as HBO and MAX. Plenty of USB/USBC chargers next to the beds. There were lots of lovely details, like soft robes, a fan and extra comforter in the closet. There was mini-fridge and coffee maker in the room with real half/half. Toiletries, including shampoo, shower gel and a shower cap. The lobby always had complimentary coffee, apples, fresh baked cookies, candy and hot tea assortment, ready to go. They also had complimentary filtered water and a thermos instead of single-use plastics.
Igor
Everything is great: staff, amenities ext.
Debbie
Great stay, very convenient to walking around Carmel. Great location, very clean and cute.
Mara
The place needs to be repiped. The bathroom had a foul sewage odor.
Mark
Paid extra for balcony and it was basically a chair in the parking lot. LOUD room near stairwell, water pipes vibrated so loud it sounded like a belt sander on the floor. Very disappointed by the noise, loved the location but we definitely would not stay here again.
Ian

Great Stay — Clean, Comfortable, and Welcoming
We had a lovely time during our stay. The room was spotless and the bed very comfortable — perfect for relaxing after a day of exploring. The property felt well cared for, and the staff were friendly and attentive.
The only thing missing was air conditioning, which made the room a bit warm but the room was provided with a table fan which helped.
Overall, a great experience and we’d happily stay again !

Good choice. Room was clean and comfortable. Staff was very helpful and friendly. Really good location for walking and proximity to restaurants and shopping. Having a parking space went a long way on a busy holiday weekend.
Jon
Enjoyed the property. Room was great and the staff were so helpful and accommodating. The location is walking distance to everything including the beach. Would definitely come back again. Nice personal feel with everything.
Joseph
No way to turn on the AC on… the room was very warm when we got in. Had to open all the windows and door.
Mel
Perfect location, near all the restaurants and stores. Our room was on the ground floor and very cosy and comfortable. We had a kitchen that was well equipped for a short stay. Beds were soft and comfy. The whole property is very traditional cottage style which was very cute. Gas fireplace in the living room was a nice touch.
Staff were friendly and helpful and gave us good directions to the beach. We enjoyed our stay.

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!
James
Property is in a great location and our accommodations were wonderful. Friendly staff and, again, great location.
Man
My daughter and parents loved the place very much. Convenient location and beautiful room with fireplace, we will definitely choose here again.
Pam
Great location close to shops and dining. Very friendly staff. Clean and comfy.
GENE
Dated property which could use upgrades in bathroom, plugs and USB ports near the bed, otherwise comfortable and convenient.
Mary
Great location, quaint, clean, had everything we needed.
Alana
Staff was very responsive to our requests. Rooms were a little outdated but very comfortable and spacious. Bathroom was clean with plenty of amenities. Easy walk to ding and shops. Front office had coffee, cookies, and snacks.
Josh
Great location and amenities for the price.
Jennifer
Lovely inn in a lovely setting.
Bin
We stayed one night, easy parking, cozy room, easy walking to all the shop
Roger
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!

Very quaint and clean accommodations. We loved the location being so close to shopping and great restaurants.
Maggie
Charming and convenient
Charming and conveniently located Inn in the heart of downtown Carmel-by-the Sea. Easy, walkable location. Quite sufficient for our girls' trip. Loved drinking coffee on the little patio, covered in flowering plants.
Alex
Staff was pleasant and area was lovely.
Kevin
Great price, location, and hotel quality. It was an excellent experience for a stay in Carmel.
Bob
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!
Melissa

Helen
Great location
Verified traveler
We ended up in a stuff room with old carpets and furniture. It needed to be aired out multiple times a day. The shower had poor pressure and the bathroom sink knobs were very difficult to turn. Heating the room was a constant issue as it would make the CO2 alarm sound.
Anna-Lisa
This was the cleanest hotel I have ever stayed at!! I loved that it had a stove and full size refrigerator. Also loved the fireplace!
Cathy

Property is dated and needs renovations, new furniture etc. Room was musty and bed was lumpy and uncomfortable.
Jason
Great location, great rooms!
Shazia
Great location opposite a lovely coffee shop. Good size rooms room. Bit dated in furniture and room was a bit musty, needs more airing regularly.
Wendy
Wayside was a fun stay. The kitchen came in handy as did the fireplace, as the weather started to get cold in the evenings. Across the street is rise and shine (a breakfast spot). All in a 5 minute walk in every direction there are wine tasting rooms, shopping, food, art galleries, and more. Make reservations for everything you really want to do. It’s a small town that is big on tourism.
Rick
Walking distance to everything, had a nice and peaceful stay
Charan
Absolutely beautiful place to stay.
Corena
Really enjoyed my stay here. Staff was very courteous and professional. Quiet room (I think the windows are double-paned).Shout out to the staff taking care of the rooms! Very clean, walked into the bedroom and the bed looked like a big cloud! Nice little touches the way the towels were displayed (hotels don't seem to do this anymore). Location is excellent. I left my car parked and walked everywhere. Across the street is shopping. I had breakfast at Rise & Roam, and dinner a couple times at the Pub there. Also, the hotel had an unexpected water pipe that needed to be repaired but hotel was communicated effectively and the issue did not interrupt my stay at all. Will definitely stay here again.
Jeanelle
This quaint property is in the heart of downtown Carmel. Wonderful restaurants are within walking distance as well as to Carmel beach! This is our second time staying here and will stay again the next time we visit!
Matthew

Great location, a bit dated but that matches the charm of Carmel. Walls are thin and nights are loud. Bring ear plugs. Night revelers will make their presence known at 0200.

The safe were friendly. Thank you for the complementary bottle. Definitely my husband and i will come back.
Richard
The hotel was lovely, I couldn’t fault it

Visited Carmel many times and this is my favorite mid priced property. Excellent location close enough to Ocean Avenue, but in quiet neighborhood. Spacious well appointed rooms with gas fireplaces for chilly evenings. O
ff street parking provided. Well decorated, but the furniture is becoming a little worn.

Lovely little hotel
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.
Peggy
Beautiful room and great location.
Mirna
Very quirky place. Clean and cozy. Felt weird that the actual bathroom/toilet didn’t have a door. Overall good stay

Jill
Super cute
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.
CHRISTINE
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.

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

Parking issues
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.

Perfect for our Staycation
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.

A wonderful place to enjoy your stay in Carmel
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!
