Probably the cleanest hotel/inn I have stayed at in my travels in 50 years. The room was well furnished. No desk, though. Plenty of counter space in the room and bathroom. The radiant heating was quiet and worked well. The window shutters provided options for light/privacy. Table and chairs outside each room for guests to use. Thank you Candle Light Inn.

Anniversary Trip

It was a great trip to celebrate our anniversary. Hotel is well situated to restaurants, shops, etc. The only thing we would do different the next time, we would not stay on a weekend because the rates are so expensive. If it wasn't the fact the anniversary was on a Saturday, we would have gone on a different day.

Our first time at this hotel gave us a great impression. Very clean elegant rooms with basic amenities. It’s in a good location easy walking distance to the Main Street with shops and restaurants and is only 15 minute walk to the Carmel beach. We went during the weekdays because weekends during summer it’s a zoo.

Great value!

Awesome location! So close to town center! The site was clean and well maintained. The room was very spacious and clean. Upon check in, we received cookies and a list of area partners that provided discounts and perks for eating or shopping with them. Love it! There was beautiful shrubbery everywhere too. Parking was very easy and plentiful. The bed was soft and comfy. There was a fireplace and mini frig area too. Tv was large and had many viewing options. Our room had a large jetted tub area that felt like a spa experience. Will definitely be back!!!!
