Well located

All hotels are expensive in Carmel. Most offer an in room meagre “breakfast” but the wayside offers nothing - except coffee and cookies or fruit in reception. The complimentary reusable water bottles are a nice touch and tick the eco box - just a shame they come covered in plastic! Well located for the price

Charming and convenient

Charming and conveniently located Inn in the heart of downtown Carmel-by-the Sea. Easy, walkable location. Quite sufficient for our girls' trip. Loved drinking coffee on the little patio, covered in flowering plants.

Great place to stay! Close to all shopping and restaurants. Room was exceptionally clean. The couch in our room was dated but that didn't bother us. They do not have a continental breakfast. Nice man checked us in as well. We will be back!
