Candle Light Inn

Sarah on reception was very friendly and helpful, she took our bags into storage for us when we arrived earlier that expected thus enabling us to walk around the town unhindered. Room was lovely, well decorated with nice fittings and very comfortable. Being European a kettle and more tea bags in the room would be appreciated. Overall we were very happy with location a few streets away from main shoping area so a little quieter and the quality of the room.

Most of the hotels in Carmel at this price point are motel style. I liked this one because there were windows on the backside of the room so you could get a cross breeze. The rooms are also a generous size and nicely appointed.

This is a hidden gem. The inn really doesn't look like much from the outside, but when we opened the door to our room, my jaw dropped. It's easily the most beautiful hotel room we've ever seen in terms of the decor. Very elegant. The furnishings are a step above what you expect from a hotel room, which are usually pretty generic. The bed is like climbing into a cloud - very upscale bedding and just super-comfy. The location is perfect - easy walking distance to pretty much everything in downtown Carmel-by-the-Sea and to the beach. The staff is wonderful, and there are fresh baked complimentary cookies in the lobby every day, along with a nice firepit where we sat in the evenings with a glass of wine.

A good location. Walkable to town, a good bar with food. Easy to park at the hotel. Nice modern room. Free cookies at reception. Water station. Coffee in the room. The fire pit outside is cute.

The room was beautiful and clean and the fireplace was the perfect touch. The bathroom was so nice and spacious and the jet tub was fun. They thought of everything 2 luggage holders in the closet and real wine glasses with bottle , real coffee mugs with creamers. They had the lights on with music playing in our room when we arrived it was so nice. The location was excellent to our dinner restaurant and our breakfast spot. The staff was super friendly and they had flashlights and a lantern in the room just in case of the power went due to the storm and it did but it came back on quickly.
