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. "
