Loved staying at this inn. Beds super comfortable. Location was perfect. Staff was awesome. Plenty of parking. We made use of the fire pit each night and loved it! Couldn't have had a better experience!

The hotel is right downtown. Very clean, well sized rooms. They only have double beds, not queens, so if you're very tall, it might be tight. The outdoor fireplace is well setup with little alcoves so you can have private conversations. The breakfast provided each morning was perfect for someone who just wants yogurt, cereal, milk and some fruit. I... More

This is a property I wanted to book last year, but it was being renovated. So I was very glad to get a room/suite for us this year. The accommodation was perfect for us. A little kitchen, had everything one would need for a few days. The Inn is quiet and the guests like to keep to themselves so no... More

The location was ideal, the rooms very clean and the building quaint and safe. I would definitely book here again, great value and offers everything you need. Rooms were quite large and the Inn was quiet. Staff at the front desk were very accommodating and helpful. We plan on staying here again next time we visit.

Hubby booked this spot for our Anniversary weekend. Great location, a few doors down from Hog's Breath Inn (Clint's restaurant) and The Art of Dr. Seuss gallery. When we walked into our room, there was classical music playing in our room. Nice touch! We had a fireplace, kitchenette with Keurig cup coffee maker, and a small tub with jets. Flat... More

This is a very comfortable medium size property in a great location in Carmel. The room was clean, nicely appointed and roomy for two people. Parking was readily available. All of Carmel is within easy walking distance, including going down to the beach for sunset. The outdoor fireplace set up is spacious and thoroughly enjoyable. Would definitely stay again.

We were in Carmel for a one night getaway and found Candlelight Inn on another internet site for a good deal. It had really great rating even though it was supposedly only a two star place.
