For a fairly priced, pampering stay, I highly recommend the Candle Light Inn! Amazingly comfortable beds with high-end linens, full water pressure in the shower, robes, soothing Soundscapes music on TV... I felt like I had a mini-spa day just by staying in the room. I'll be back!
LLongyinWe accidentally booked the ADA room, but the staff was so kind they helped us change to the right type of room right after we contacted them. We loved the coziness of the room, and the fireplace. The breakfast at the lobby was delicious and they provide a lot of choices.
PPengguna TetamuCarmel by the Sea is a truly magical place. Perfect weather, incredible scenery. We loved our morning walks. Shopping in town was nice. The shop owners not so much. The Inn is perfectly located and very accommodating. The mattress was past its prime. Other than that we loved enjoying meals on our balcony and fires in the fireplace.
PPengguna TetamuWe received a complimentary ‘upgrade’ to the Kitchen Suite. This ‘suite’ is literally the kitchen of a former home with very minimal renovations to make it look like a hotel suite. The whole suite was just very chopped up. Huge full kitchen, tiny bedroom and very strange bathroom. No care was put into the decor in fact I think it was still decorated when it was lived in as a home. In the morning we had no hot water to shower. No one at the front desk until 8am. Called the overnight service line and woke someone up. She told us to wait until 8 when someone would be there. We needed to be on the road by 7am. Finally a knock on the door and she said it was fixed. Still no hot water and the girl said she didn’t know what was wrong. Waited until 9 for the office manager who was told another guest lost power all night. She came in to the ‘kitchen’ and reset the fuse box for the building. We were supposed to spend 2 nights. Luckily we were refunded for the 2nd night. Also - It is not walking distance to the town. Would have scored a 1 but the office manager felt very bad and easily refunded us.
BBreanne RFrom the moment you drive onto the property, it's like stepping through a portal. The winding road leads you through fairytale gingerbread cottages that look like they were plucked from the pages of a storybook. Further on, you reach the glamping cabins, which to me was like living out my dreams of being in an Indiana Jones film but in luxury style. All throughout the property there are little gems; fountains, fire pits, flower walks...everything here is secluded and quiet but you can still feel that ocean air. The staff was quite literally the greatest I've come across (Michael, here's looking at you!). Truly, it was an unforgettable experience. Every time I'd walk the little lanes I'd find myself ooh-ing and ah-ing over the quaintness of it all. HIGHLY recommend!!!
PPengguna TetamuRumah itu bagus dan tempatnya luas; apabila saya mendaftar masuk, meja depan sudah tidak bekerja, dan saya memasukkan kunci ke dalam sampul surat. Wanita tua di kaunter penerimaan tetamu berasa ok. Saya minta anak angkat barang dalam kereta, tapi dia kata anak tak boleh ambil sendiri. Selepas saya pergi ke sana, dia berkata dia akan menghubungi polis untuk seketika. Saya tidak mengendahkannya dan tidak melihat polis sepanjang malam selepas pulang ke rumah. Saya merasakan bahawa diskriminasi terhadap orang kulit putih adalah satu aspek dalam tempoh yang luar biasa, dan mungkin juga wanita tua itu mungkin mempunyai hubungan yang tidak baik dengan hotel dan sengaja mencari kesalahan, kerana dia duduk di sebelah tingkap dan bercakap sepanjang malam!
IIssraa APosting the same review I wrote for YELP If you have kids this is probably one of the only places in downtown Carmel by the Sea to stay so there's that. My family and I stayed here for a few nights back in April and had some issues that we reported to the staff and emailed the manager about and basically got zero help from them so I decided to finally post a review here. Upon check in we found leftover items in the fridge which showed that housekeeping doesn't actually clean much. There was not weather ***** on the bottom of the entry door which not only allowed heaps of dirt to enter the tile floor and turn our feet black, but also allowed for us to hear the very loud leaf blowing that took place early the next morning. It sounded like the leaf blower was happening inside our room which woke up my 4 year old and 3 month old baby. Let's see what else...there was a huge loogie that was sitting in the drain of the bathroom sink, soap scum on the corners of the shower and light bulbs burned out. When we were checking out we were hoping to talk to the front desk about our issues but no one was at the desk so we called afterwards and explained our situation. They told us to email the manager which we did, we were asking for a partial refund mainly for the lack of cleaning but the manager never responded so maybe they wills see this! For nearly $600 spent, I don't think it's outrageous to expect a room to be cleaned. Save your money stay somewhere else! Customer service is lacking, cleaning was abhorrent and clearly management doesn't care about guests and just wants $$. If you have kids, spend your hard earned money elsewhere and just deal with the traffic to get into town. This place is NOT IT and they DON'T CARE about their customers.
