We had another great stay at the Candlelight in Ozark, AL. David was a great host and remembered us from a previous stay a few weeks ago! Which he was very accommodating then and had the same service this stay. We are working outside and it was nice to get checked in quickly, and able to get shower and relax for the night. Thank you David and Team at the Candlelight!

Great stay for a good price. This hotel is right next to a Love's, so it's easy to get breakfast items in the morning. It's also a safe area, so ideal for traveling with children. The check-in was easy, the room was in good condition and clean, and the bed and AC were comfortable. Will be staying here again.

Clean remodeled room in an older motel. Definitely a good choice for a budget traveler. Manager is very helpful

Older motel but nicer than 1st appearance. Completely remodeled room very nice bathroom. Room was clean. Only recommendation is a dimmer for the too bright LED lighting. Very good value for a traveler not needing fancy.

I am giving this 4 stars for what it is- a budget friendly motel for one night in transit. No, it does not have amenities you expect at a chain hotel, but it is half the price. It has the things I consider requirements- clean room, hot water, insect-free, and safe feel. We like to stay at family-owned motels when we travel and recognize that it is a tough business. In general, I think these owners are making the right trade-offs. With that said, the paper door numbers are going too far. Legible vinyl numbers are an inexpensive and necessary upgrade.

When I pulled up to check in I was laughing because the place was so pathetic and run down. The doors have paper taped on with the room number. The room key was an actual key. But the AC worked great, the bed was comfortable, the shower was strong and hot, and the room was clean. Overall, a positive experience.

Was skeptical at first but it was much cleaner. The staff was very pleasant. They’re working on the property so there is that. Over all was better than expected.

This hotel is fairly old roadside motel. The room was pretty old. Clean but old decor, old furniture, etc. Looks like some time had been spent updating the bathroom a bit. Bed was comfortable. The bad part was so much road noise, sirens, and it was right outside because the hotel is right next to the road.

Room was clean and updated, no lamp by the bed just blaring bright LED on ceiling, road was noisy all night, woken up several times from road noise. Otherwise probably would consider staying again.

JAMES • Family Trip

Rooms were clean, ac worked great, and tv worked great in one room but an older remote in the other wasn't fully functional but did work. I found the beds to be quite comfortable. The room doors had been repainted outside but the temporary numbers marked on tape weren't easily readable in the dark and the door seals need replacing as the adjacent highway noise was unusually loud. There wasn't any place for some long-term residents to keep their outside equipment (BBQ, Chairs, etc) except on the sidewalk but not a problem except there wasn't a wheelchair ramp near our end of the building. The office area needs a major update and the one-time attractive sign out front is missing some of the lights. I would stay here again but would not if my family was traveling with me.
