Liked: Cleanliness
I booked this hotel based on the pictures of rooms. It looked so bright and cheery... Not So.. We had room #3. It was in an alcove and the room was the darkest hotel room I have encountered on my travels. The king suite was ok, it had a gas fireplace, but you needed lights during the day. The king size bed and sofa were terrible. Both very worn, and need to be replaced, very uncomfortable. I also did not like that you had to exit the bedroom through the bathroom to get to the small living room area. It was also a little overpriced for the condition of bed and sofa. Liked where the property is located, and of course love Carmel, but did not really like room #3.

The location was great, check in was easy, and the room was large and clean. We only got one parking permit with the room but street parking was pretty available. The beds looked smaller than queens but were comfortable.

Wayside was a lovely choice for us. Free parking and walkable to everything we wanted. Staff were all courteous and helpful. They allowed us to check in 2 hours early and an hour late. The beds and bedding are luxurious and so comfortable. There were premium channels, such as HBO and MAX. Plenty of USB/USBC chargers next to the beds. There were lots of lovely details, like soft robes, a fan and extra comforter in the closet. There was mini-fridge and coffee maker in the room with real half/half. Toiletries, including shampoo, shower gel and a shower cap. The lobby always had complimentary coffee, apples, fresh baked cookies, candy and hot tea assortment, ready to go. They also had complimentary filtered water and a thermos instead of single-use plastics.

Paid extra for balcony and it was basically a chair in the parking lot. LOUD room near stairwell, water pipes vibrated so loud it sounded like a belt sander on the floor. Very disappointed by the noise, loved the location but we definitely would not stay here again.
