"I wasn't sure if I wanted to book due to the reviews complaining about the noise, small rooms, and lack of parking. However, our trip turned out to be perfect. The room we stayed in was spacious and ideal for my family of 5. There was some noise since the hotel is located in the town, we slept with a window open but honestly they is to be expected when staying in downtown. Parking was not an issue. The staff were extremely friendly. There is an old rotary phone in the lounge that my boys enjoyed...

"The outside of the property is quite lovely, having lots of plants and the site is very clean. We arrived late, so didn't check in with the front desk. Instead they left a sealed envelope on the door, telling us where to locate the key to our room. The bathrooms are updated and nice. I would recommend taking out the carpet in the living areas and replace with laminate, wood, or other non-carpet option. I personally feel the carpeting is very hard to keep clean and makes the room look...

Carmel Wayfarer Inn

Carmel Wayfarer Inn

5/5 Excellent
"In a town with narrow streets and tons of pedestrians, this location was easier for driving in and out than many places closer to the ocean. Many rooms have beautiful views of the area. The central brick patio area is inviting, with a fountain and cafe tables. My room was clean but not fashionable; I didn't care because the view was great. I noticed a maintenance issue where a gutter needed repair, but it didn't have an impact on my stay. "
