The inn accommodates service animals as defined by the ADA but does not accept pets or groups. Breakfast service is currently suspended. Rooms may experience noise due to thin walls. Mineta San Jose International Airport is the nearest airport, approximately 60 miles away.

“Wayside Inn struck me as a comfortably sized place, with suites large enough to spread out. Its location, just a block from Ocean Avenue, puts the inn within easy reach of Carmel's dining and shopping. I noticed the non-pet policy, likely a plus for those seeking allergen-free accommodations.”
