A clean place easy walk to all of downtown. Our only issue was the children bouncing off the walls above us from 9 pm to 12:30 am when I pounded on the ceiling at which they stopped immediately. I could have contacted the front desk but did not, my fault. The staff had wonderful recommendations for meals.

We had a wonderful stay at the Candle Light Inn. The front desk clerk was incredibly warm and friendly, which made us feel welcome right from the moment we arrived. Our room was beautifully decorated, complete with large jetted tub and a cozy fireplace that made the space feel extra relaxing. The bedding was unbelievably soft—like sleeping on a cloud! It was so comfortable that I honestly didn’t want to get out of bed the next morning. Overall, it was a lovely experience and we would definitely stay here again.

The room was wonderful! This is the second time we have stayed at the Candle Light Inn. The room is very clean and spacious. The staff is very friendly and professional. Being in the middle of downtown Carmel is another plus. Love the jacuzzi tub and electric fireplace. Having fresh cookies in the lobby for guest and water bottles in the room is a great little touch as well.
