“great location”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed January 8, 2013

lots of room ( we had a sitting area, fireplace, and kitchen) and easy walking to the heart of town or any restaurant. Staff was friendly and attentive. On the plus side: off street parking, an outdoor fireplace, cookies in the afternoon, beautiful flowers outside, quiet, a cute little (cold) breakfast delivered to your door. Only down sides were no good lighting for reading in the sitting area and the breakfast is limited in options.

“Great hotel in great location”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed December 14, 2012

We have stayed here before and were thrilled to find the rooms had been upgraded. The bathrooms are particularly elegant now with gorgeous shower cubicles. It has a lovely central location, and a great spot to stay if visiting Carmel. We'll be back.

“Very comfortable, great location”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 24, 2012

I loved this hotel! It is in a great location, walking distance to all of Carmel-by-the-Sea. The room was very clean, updated, nice. The fireplace in the front of the hotel is awesome! Only complaint was that the people walking in the room above us was very loud. I would definately reccomend this hotel!

Room Tip: I was in room 3, very convenient, but would probably recommend a 2nd floor room due to the foot traf...

“Cozy and comfortable”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 19, 2012

We loved staying at The Candle Light Inn! Front desk staff is friendly and helpful. The cozy room is clean and comfortable. Loved the little kitchen and the small fireplace which added to the cottage feel. Location was ideal to shopping and restaurants downtown Carmel. We will stay here the next time we visit.

“Charming and great location”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 19, 2012 via mobile

This was a perfect stay. The location is great for walking around town, leaving the car in the parking lot. Plenty of off street parking as well. The lobby has delicious cookies and coffee, they even supplied wine glasses at request. Every day you get a cooler packed with breakfast choices and the daily paper.

The rooms are well appointed including a fireplace. As other reviews stated, it's not sound proof however it isn't distracting or annoying. Put this his quint and welcoming hotel on your consideration list, you can't go wrong!
