Guest Review

“Simply Wonderful. My wife and I stayed here for three nights in June to celebrate her birthday. We were pleased from the moment we arrived until the time we left. We stayed in the Concourse Suite, which is one of the larger rooms on the property. It had a spacious living space, outdoor patio and very comfortable bed. We loved the location (a couple blocks from Carmel Beach, and about 3 blocks from the shopping and restaurants in Carmel), and enjoyed the wine & cheese happy hour each day by the outdoor fire from 5pm to 6pm. The staff were wonderful as well. I would definitely recommend the Lamplighter Inn to anyone considering a trip to Carmel.”
