What people say

We loved meeting Nicha and Mike who made us feel welcome and like old friends. The location was convenient for walking to all of the great art galleries & shops. We felt at home with the beautiful quilts on the beds. The kitchenette was wonderful and decorated with touches of a time long ago. Quaint & darling. The staff is exceptional. The room delightful. And the complimentary breakfast very enjoyable. It was so nice to have china coffee cups & plates. We first stayed at the Wayfarer Inn in the spring of 2012 and enjoyed our stay so much that we booked the Inn again this year. Very nice!.
all reviews » The lady that checked us in was really friendly & helpful. She gave us a map of Carmel & recommended some places to eat, which we followed her advice and ate at Casa Nova which was lovely. Room was extremely large and had two bedrooms, excellent value for money. Nice fireplace room, good price for a weekend, owners very nice to talk too. The corner pub is a great place for a beer or a glass of wine and watch a game, also pretty good food there. The inn also serves wine in the evening to it's guests. Good coffee and waffles. The staff was extremely accommodating. Our room was clean and within walking distance to town and the beach. The breakfast area is quite comfortable. We have stayed here with our dog in the past and enjoyed our stay as well. We loved the size of the room and the added electric fireplace. The bed was heavenly and the inn was very clean. A great place to stay. The little outdoors patio was fun if you wanted to have your breakfast out there. The staff were so friendly upon our arrival. I feel that the location of the hotel was great. In Carmel, it's a small town, but this location gives you the best of quiet and proximity. Loved room 17 with the ocean view. Also how close it is to our favorite restaurant Casanovas, this our second time staying and will continue with making this an annual tradition. The wine time and fireplace were nice. Great water pressure and lots of hot water. I loved the garden area. Pretty view from our window. Awesome location. Dayanne is terrific. Excellent and very friendly staff. Only a couple of blocks from the main street. For the price in this area, the room was certainly adequate and comfortable. We'd stay again. Owner and his wife are terrific and very accommodating. He takes care of any issues promptly and checks to make sure all is well. Cleaning staff is friendly and efficient.

Very friendly staff, informal cosy atmosphere. Very friendly staff Nice hotel room. Walking distance to Carmel shops... The location, size, and price. had a great time.thanks. The staff was excellent!. Price, Location, Charm. location, staff, wine. Very nice staff. Rooms could have used a box of Kleenex or two! chairs in dining room were a little sticky from breakfast. Bathroom light was poor, but everything elese was great. Since it's an older building and if it were my B & B. I would probably resurface the walls in the bathroom, replace any tiles that have holes in them. I would caulk between the sink and the wall. I'd either refinish some of the furniture or paint it. Parking could be a problem in that the parking is behind the inn and very limited. We were lucky to get spaces each night tho. The hotel is dated, but nonetheless, we were happy with our stay and would come back again. the Jacuzzi tub jets didn't work. Internet said that the $150 was total with taxes but then I was charged another 30 or 40$ which is a misrepresentation. this will keep me from returning. Tiny bathrooms. No fruit at breakfast. Bathroom was outdated (no room to put blow dryer, curling iron, make up bag (ie. no counter/shelf/hook). Woman at the desk when we checked in. She was condescending--telling us at check in not to be rowdy (her word). Also told us she was among the working class and was not rich?. We wouldn't have been able to afford to stay here if it wasn't for the letsbookhotel.com rate. Rooms could use a little updating but with the updating the rates would also increase. Small bath room. The bedding was very outdated and the room a bit worn. Too many chests of drawers and only one chair for 3 people…no table. Had a small fridge (good), but no microwave. Only got one large towel per person and they weren't very large. The fan was a floor fan and was wobbly. No decent place in bathroom to put your bathroom stuff. Cost too much considering. Not a big deal, but it is an older property and hasn't been updated in quite some time. But was still quaint and comfortable. Comforters could be 'air freshened' up. A little outdated, but that is what somewhat added to its charm. Smokers used the outdoor patio (lots of international travelers who seem to smoke). The breakfast was a bit limited - but it was "served" with a smile, so we didn't mind so much ;-). nothing to complain about. Trundle bed for 3rd bed wasn't supplied with full bedding. We improvised to solve it as the office closes overnight and no one is available. A lot of stairs for an older person. The room felt dated and the shear curtains wear torn. Breakfast wasn't served until 8am, which was inconvenient on several days of my trip. A bit expensive for what you get, but I'll would recommend this to anyone for a quiet retreat. Incident where we woke up at 3AM at the smell of propane gas. The gas-fired fireflace was not working well; a Serious safety hazard. The nightguard was very responsive - turned the fireplace off. The next day the owner seemed indifferent about the matter. We do hope he had all fireplaces checked afterwards (the dust on the inside of our FP showed us that no check was performed since a long while...). Bathroom was a little small. Minimal light in bathroom for applying makeup for my wife. Parking could/should be a bit more organized and dedicated to guests. Shower water was to warm. Tv outdated Bathroom small, no room for make-up, or vanity. Shower fixture very hard to operate and is backwards. Climbing stairs....no elevator. A bit rundown. Room was a tad dated. nothing. Old, some remoleling, but still a ways to go. I am not too particular so it was good for us. Will stay again. Continental breakfast was too simple. There should be cheese to go along with wine tasting. turn down hot water temp or you will have problems with under sink supply lines.happen to me. Nothing!. Nothing.
