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. ##### Dana Stayed 2 nights in Dec 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Amanda Sep 5, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Cute room, great tub, perfect location ##### Amanda Stayed 1 night in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lillian Jun 24, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Convenient location, friendly staff, a very pleasant stay. ##### Lillian Stayed 1 night in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### JAMES Sep 25, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities It was in a great location.
