6/10 Good

I appreciated that the hotel was pet friendly with a reasonable pet fee. Parking was extremely limited. The room had a good amount of space and the location was walkable to many shops and some restaurants. The bed was uncomfortable, there was hair on one of the pillows, the room had peeling paint, and the bath tub and sink did not appear to be very clean. We felt that the high price did not match the room.

This is a no frills motel similar to motel 6, but super spacious, with an amazing location, affordable price, and friendly staff. We also really enjoyed the dutch doors. Would 100% stay again with our two large dogs. It was not perfect, but considering the price it was amazing.

We have stayed at the Carmel Wayfarer Inn several times the past couple of years. The rooms are clean but a little dated. The staff is friendly and helpful and even allowed us to check in a little earlier that our scheduled time. The price of the room and location is unbeatable!
