We were on a Girls road trip to palm springs. We were only going to stop in Carmel for one night. With no reservations, we arrived in Carmel, with my canine Rubygirlfriend. We drove toward the beach and saw this lovely Inn with a vacancy sign, we stopped and asked if they were pet friendly, and they were. However, more... More

After reading all the rave reviews here, my husband and I decided to make a reservation to stay here. The girl answering the phone was very impatient when I asked which days were available. I made a reservation and let her attitude slide, as she could be having a bad day. A few days later, I called again and very... More

We called here for one night while on our honeymoon. They knew ahead of time and the owner very kindly left us a nice bottle of sparkling wine in the room. The room was beautifully finished and even had a log fire you could light! It was quite expensive to stay here, but was no more than average for Carmel-... More

The atmosphere at both was social and friendly. I was traveling... More

Our group was big and all of... More

This place is truly dreamy. Its romantic without being over the top (was there with a friend but would love to return with my man). Lovely breakfast basket. Great beds and eco-friendly and lovely smelling toiletries in bathroom. Cant recommend it enough! More

We stayed here for 3 nights in mid December. Hit town without any reservations and discovered that this is a good time to catch great deals as the weather was great and the village was empty. We went to the Carmel welcome center and had our pick of discounted rooms. Based on the Tripadvisor #1 rating for Lamp Lighter, we... More

We are a family with two young kids and we stayed in the dolphin suite for two nights in November. This suite was perfectly located in the hotel complex as the kids could be asleep and we could enjoy the fire pit just outside the room and keep an ear and eye on them. The room was comfortable and clean... More
