A cute Inn with character
The Wayfarer is a cute little inn a few blocks from down town. The owner, Mike, is very friendly and helpful. The inn is in need of some renovations, which i was told are in process. The bed was very comfortable and the shower had good water pressure. Those are imprtant to me. I have stayed there before, and have already made reservations to return. The age of this inn gives it alot of character. The prices are excellent for Carmel, which is a huge plus.

Entire property is tired, outdated, and in dire need of maintenance. Power went out for a few hours and- while no fault of hotel’s - they failed to pass along the notice they received. Also, many things didn’t work. Given it was a very big event week, we appreciated Hotels.com rate. However, when I asked about possibly extending one night, the offer was nearly three times the rate we had paid for the previous 3 nights. Also, did not appreciate their unsolicited warning “if you don’t return your keys within 10 minutes of check out you will incur an additional $50 charge.

The location of this property is the best and can’t be beat. Walkable to all the town including coffee shops and restaurants. It could use some updating but it’s a fair price for as it is now. :)
