I stayed in this quaint little piece of ocean-side heaven in January with my English partner, who assured me that this was the standard of bed and breakfasts in Britain. We had a great time, our room had a roaring fireplace and we watched movies on the tv and just curled up in the comfort of our extremely spacious, yet... More

We had a nice overnight stay at the Wayfarer Inn. The owner is very friendly and accommodating. The Inn is well located in the heart of Carmel Village, and about a 10 minute walk to the beach. The rooms are pretty basic, and ours was in need of updating and attention. A little worn around the edges. The breakfast is... More

We had a great stay at The Wayfarer Inn. The managing team was warm and welcoming, and the hotel is centrally located in the heart of Carmel. It's walking distance from the beach, minutes from Monterey, and a few miles from the famous Point Lobos trails. I would definitely stay again. The fireplace kept us cozy and free wine in... More

I enjoyed my stay at the Wayfarer. It is in a great location with limited free parking. From the Inn it is an easy walk to town and the beach. From my room I had a partial view of the ocean. It is a family run operation with a friendly staff. Don't expect anything too fancy for the complimentary breakfast.... More

The Inn is in a perfect location just blocks from Ocean Ave. It is an older property with the charm of a time back in the 50s. A bargin for where it is. Our experience was mixed. We arrived an hour and a half early and decided to check in anyway. As it happened Mike the owner was on duty,... More

The Wayfarer is an absolutely adorable inn right in the heart of Carmel. The property was very pretty, with a lovely garden area, and the room itself was clean and cozy. The rates were also very reasonable. But the best part about staying at the Wayfarer was the exceptional service. The manager was so friendly and welcoming -- we arrived... More

We stayed here for two nights are loved it. Our room had a lovely fireplace and a full kitchen. When we arrived we checked out 5 of the other Inns around the neighborhood. We looked inside all the rooms and compared prices. This was definitely the nicest room, best value, and the only one with it's own kitchen. The service... More

My sister and i stayed one night (27th) here. As stated, the rooms definitely need an update and were of the level i'd expect to see at a roadside motor hotel in 1985. BUT it was clean, bedbug free in room 15, and the courtyard was lovely. Breakfast was nice, as we arrived at the tail end and still were... More

I've been staying at the Wayfarer for over 20 years. I don't care about new and fancy - if you do, this isn't the place for you. I do care about safe, convenient, peaceful, charming, inexpensive, friendly and clean. I care about how a place feels, and Wayfarer has a good feeling for sure. I can smile and even consider... More
