Summary: The smoke alarm went off at 1:00am!! Was not happy about that. My husband had the get a chair and take it off the ceiling! Mentioned to front desk the next day they could give us 1:00pm checkout. We were already checking out so that did no good. Location great

Summary: We have stayed at sister inns to this, and it is clearly inferior. It is an old hotel and struggles to meet what we expect when travelling these days. The furniture choices make the small space feel even more cramped than it is. The beds were a special sore point; they nearly drowned you in excessive comforters, and the sheets were too big. The big plus is location, location, location; it sits in a perfect place to easily wander through Carmel.

Summary: The Candle Light Inn is a charming respite in the middle of Carmel. The room is cozy and well appointed. It is not air conditioned which was a problem for this 60 year old lady but there was a fan for use in the closet and you are able to open the windows to allow a cross breeze. The only complaint I have is the mattress in our room has probably reached its end life. One side of the mattress was noticeably flatter and more uncomfortable than the other side. The Inn is in the perfect spot for walking to eating and shopping spots and was a convenient jumping off spot to our day trips. Close to the highway. One of the biggest pluses was that there was on-site parking. Parking on the street was extremely competitive.

Summary: Just a couple blocks away from Ocean Ave (main shopping/food street), it's a good little spot. We stayed in premium room with a jet tub. Room was clean and spacious. Jet tub was okay but jets are really loud (first world problems). Loved the touch of free cookies, which were delicious. And, they partner with various eateries and offer discounts, even at nice restaurants like The Pocket.
