Lovely enclosed patio so dogs can walk out our room door without encountering cars. Julian the manager is very friendly and accommodating. Quiet street but only 4 blocks to Ocean Avenue.

Great little place to stay! Plenty of food, shopping and and site seeing all in walking distance. The only thing we wished they had was a microwave in the room for all the leftovers we had and an ashtray or two somewhere on the property. Non smoking property.

There was a mixup with the rooms but it was fixed right away. Some of the planets were dead in the courtyard, but overall the courtyard was beautiful. Can’t really say much about the room. It was really quiet. It was just walking distance to everything which that is a plus. Overall, I enjoyed my stay Thank you so much.

Staff was very friendly, front desk and housekeeper were very helpful. Awesome location- walking distance to everything… 0.8 mile walk /15 min to the beach… Reasonable price. Just would like a continental breakfast or happy hour like years ago… overall, excellent place to stay quaint and comfortable!

Extremely kind staff. The property is quite old like most places in Carmel, but has recently been refreshed. The refresh looks like it was done quickly, and not professionally, but the price is right and the location is great. The bed was uncomfortable, but the view was lovely. The soap smelled great, the linens were very soft and clean. Parking was easy in the lot, but the spots are very tight. Not sure if I'd stay again only because of the bed. Overall, it's a decent place.

The Wayfarer is an older building that looks like it was maybe converted from apartments. It is located within easy walking distance to downtown Carmel and many restaurants. Although the parking lot only has 7 spaces, there was plenty of free street parking adjacent to the hotel, at least during our stay. The double room was a bit awkward in that whoever was in the front bedroom had to walk through the other bedroom to go to the bathroom, but that wasn't a major issue. The price was reasonable for Carmel.

For the location, it’s extremely affordable and it’s undergoing renovations right now that are not disrupting. The owners are kind.

Good value for location. Quiet. No staff after 4 and checkin is at 3. Small window to check in. Ice machine is locked in office. Too late to realize no ice machine access after 1 hour of checkin.
