Overall Ratings & Reviews Candle Light Inn

Great spot to view

Quiet, comfortable, spacious room, right in the heart of Carmel by the Sea.

Amazing! Great hot tub, the grounds were gorgeous, the bed was very comfortable and the cookies at reception were delicious!

Beautiful location with clean rooms and nice decor. There was just too much noise and had to have window blinds closed to have privacy. Also the body wash was almost empty and not enough for two people to shower. Otherwise, nice place, close to aminoties.

Convenient location, friendly staff, a very pleasant stay.

Great location, service was ok, room was nice. Bathroom could have been cleaner

Great place to stay. Awesome location. Amazingly friendly and helpful staff and super comfy beds. Would love to come back.

It was cute and pretty

I must say i was a bit disappointed with the Candlelight inn. Check in was fine. Checked in at 4pm. The issue started when we noticed they were doing a bathroom remodel to the room right next to ours. The workers worked until about 6pm the 1st day. Then they started working at around 8am the next morning. It sounded like sledge hammers breaking tile & they were obviously cutting out the old cast iron pipe in the room because we could hear them cutting & the entire room vibrated. My wife was not happy. For what we paid a night & we shouldn’t have had to listen or be woken up to this on our vacation. I asked the front desk if we could be moved the next morning & the gal said we could but really wouldn’t matter as we would be in the same building. Mind you theres about 10 rooms in this building. She did say she would check with her manager & get back to me. She did call & offer another room in the same building or a bottle of $10 wine. She called around 11am & said I needed to let her know by 1pm. I was out at the ocean & didn’t get her voicemail until about 2:15pm. So I didn't bother to call her back. They left the wine in the room. I did thank her for the wine & her help when we checked out. I would have never booked my stay if I would’ve known they had plumbing issues prior to me booking. I let the front desk know this prior to her offering the room change in the same building or wine. I could’ve stayed at another hotel for the same rate. Call before booking———-

Great place. Location is perfect

Good location. Good value

Nice area. Walking distant to main street and restaurants. Clean and comfortable. The one thing negative was they were under construction so there was noise during the day time. I wished they would it let us know before booking.

Amazing place, perfect location, very clean.

Renovated rooms in a nice pocket of Carmel Close to ocean Avenue.

Laurie is the front desk girl and she was so great at suggesting places for us to go for dinner. She also was just the best personality to talk to at night time while we picked up our daily cookie at night. Had a great time would come back.

Remodeled rooms. Comfy bed. Great pressure in the shower. Good spacious room layout. Parking. (Might be a bit challenging with leather vehicle) Great walkable location. Cookies at night complementary. No water in rooms or to buy but there's a gas station with a convenience store 1/2 block away.

Really lovely room, good size and amenities. Amazing location, and parking very easy. Cookies daily are a nice touch. Friendly staff, would come back of visiting Carmel again.

My wife and I stayed two nights. The room was comfortable and the amenities offered (including fireplace) with our booking were as stated. There is no continental breakfast offered at the property, however there are a lot of great restaurant's and cafe’s in close proximity.

This place was amazing very nice and clean and comfortable beds.

The photos of the property don't do it just. We were so impressed when we entered the lobby and more so when we entered our room. Very impressed and highly recommended. Free wine tasting in the evening was an unexpected bonus too. The only negative comment is that breakfast was with very flimsy knives & forks.
