Wayside Inn

Downtown Carmel

10/10 Excellent

This quaint town has so much character and so has the wayside inn. The staff are wonderful. The location is perfect. Our stay, well I wish it could have been longer. My only issue was the occupants above who were very loud. The property is old, so too the floor boards and running and jumping is not cool!......so a room on the top level is the way to go. Having said that the hotel imposes a after 10pm quite policy.
