Pros
- Good location in Downtown Carmel

- Free (limited) breakfast, and free tea and coffee in the lobby
- Free Wi-Fi and free parking
- Many rooms have fireplaces and porches, and some suites have full kitchens
Bottom Line
The 22-room Wayside Inn is a motel-style building with a parking lot in the front that slightly cheapens its facade. But despite the first impression, the inn is quaint and charming -- ivy climbs the brick walls, many rooms have balconies, and pretty flowers line the walkways. The rooms don English-cottage decor, which can feel either cozy or tired, depending on your taste. All rooms have flat-screen TVs, mini-fridges, and iPod docks, and many have fireplaces. But the real highlight of the hotel is its downtown location -- just don't expect much in the way of extra amenities.
