Basic hotel room in need of an update

Pros: Our room did have a peak ocean view.
Cons: The owners need to update and improve the room and they could provide a true breakfast.
The room was very tired and run down. The bathroom had rust on the towel bars, a cracked tile floor. Bedding was in need of an update. The breakfast was just cereal or make your own waffle. No fresh fruit or muffins. The shutters were broken so you could not close them properly. Ijoked with my husband that it felt like we were in a youth hostel.

Average experience

Nice room and front desk staff. Ocean view exaggerated. Booked an ocean view room which you could not see the ocean from. Breakfast terrible. Set plates on a table full of dirty plates, and the staff member Patel made a scene in front of other customers, telling me to take my dishes to the kitchen. I took my dishes and my girlfriend's into the kitchen. He then started me down as I walked out. I told him the rest of the dishes in the table weren't from us. He continued to stare me down and embarrass me in front of other diners. Really disrespectful. Perhaps because he was Indian and I'm white he didn't like me having an Indian girlfriend. Also, the breakfast they offer was literally toast, two cereals with milk that looked curdled, and waffle makers with batter next to them. The batter was badly made and as a result the waffle didn't cook fully. Went and spent $35 eating a real breakfast. So, advertised free breakfast is not worth $1, and the 'free parking' is a lot with 6-8 spaces, and you'll be told to just park on the street, because it's free in Carmel anyway, if it's full.

The wayfarers is sweet but in need of updating. My biggest complaint was the breakfast and no coffee in the rooms. The price was right and we may stay again.

You don't get what you pay for

Pros: The Location
Cons: Almost everything, it needs to be gutted and rebuilt. Useless WIFI
Location: It is in town so you can walk to everything in Carmel. That's all they have for you.
The only thing you get at this Inn is location. It seems as if the rooms have been left to decay, the carpet is very old and stained. The walls get a patch of almost the same color when there is a problem. The bathroom is falling apart, missing tile and grout. The tub caulk has shriveled and looks mildewy. The shower curtain rod was rusty. Shampoo in little cheap packets. The bed hurt and the comforter smelled. There was a small side room for our kids with a trundle bed, and the room was big so we did have space for all four of us. The trundle mattresses were uncomfortable. The WIFI is too weak to be used for anything. The free parking is limited so you may end up with on street parking. The continental breakfast is a cheap carbfest although the self made waffle was tasty. The court yard is cute and you are in town, just try to stay out of the room if you stay here. It feels as if the owners have decided to keep anything they make and not put a penny in to the rooms unless they have to. I would not recommend this place and I will avoid it in the future.

Clean and Comfortable, but rundown.

Pros: Location and the courtyard is nice.
Cons: Written about in "Write about your experience".
Location: Great location, great shopping and the beach is very close.
I didn't read Yelp until after I booked and confirmed and then realized I couldn't cancel and that point. Before arriving at our destination I prepared myself for the worst and thankfully I did because I wasn't too disappointed. The rate was too much for the condition of the inn. The reception was nice, the room was clean and the bed was comfortable, but overall I would have to rate this establishment on a scale of 1-10, 4 and I'm giving it a 4 because it was clean and the bed was comfortable, but they need to spend some money on some upgrades, like lighter color paint, new carpet, new bathroom fixtures and screens on bathroom windows.

Carmel Getaway

Pros: Allowed pets, although it is costly.
Cons: Clean the carpets, offer something other than just carbs (cereal, waffles, & toast) for breakfast. Hard boiled eggs are easy and keep well.
Location: Good location close to shops and restaurants but high concentration of apartments around the motel make parking a challenge. Also very noisy.
Happy to pay the extra $35/day for each of my two small dogs. however the carpet was so dirty and spotted I was glad I brought my slippers. The room definately needs some updating. Garbage day (Tues) is very noisy and the trucks seemed to be in front of our room forever. Perhaps this is due to the high concentration of apartments surrounding the apartment. Next time I'll put my dogs in a kennel and opt for a cleaner more upscale motel.
