This motel is a hidden gem! The rooms are always clean. Management is friendly, professional, and goes above and beyond to ensure guests have a great experience.

I stayed at the Candlelight Motel and was pleasantly surprised. The room was clean, the staff was friendly, and the location was convenient. For the price, it’s hard to beat. Perfect for a quick stop or overnight stay. I’ll definitely be back
Under new management, the place has been transformed into a very clean and welcoming environment. The staff were friendly and attentive, making sure I had everything I needed during my stay. The rooms were well-maintained and spotless, which made my visit all the more enjoyable. It’s evident that the new management is dedicated to providing a great experience for guests. The location is also convenient, making it easy to explore the area. I highly recommend this motel for anyone looking for a cozy and clean place to stay in Alabama. I’ll definitely be back!
Veteran friendly owners. Newly remodeled kitchenettes for a very reasonable price! Location is convenient to shopping and Ft. Novosel. Michelin is not far either. Weekly rates.
Older motel. Rooms are being remodeled nicely. Bathroom was excellent. Great rates for a traveling working person. Friendly staff. A few more improvements and will be very nice
Overall this is the best place we have ever stayed! Well priced, and amazing and sweet people. I have 2 kids, and they can be pretty loud at times, but my youngest he has autism and he is nonverbal, the lady that works here gave him teddy bears and some coloring papers and pencils to keep him occupied. (We are trying to get on our feet) so being here has helped us a lot in more ways than we can explain. Thank you!!! -Williams family
Great staff they are very helpful & kind. They also are remodeling some of the rooms it's probably one of Ozarks best kept secrets its nice neat & very affordable.
If you stayed here prior to about a year ago and we're disappointed, then I would suggest revisiting this motel again to see all the amazing changes that are being made! The newer owners are wonderful people! They work hard to keep the place clean at all times and are very hospitable! They are focused on keeping their guests happy and have been working hard on remodeling the rooms! I would definitely recommend this motel for anyone looking for a nice, quite, friendly place to stay! It is also very affordable and kid and family friendly! It's also a great place for TRUCKERS to stop and take their 10 hour break, 34 hours reset or just to take a nap! With it being right next to Love's Truck Stop you won't have to scramble around looking for a place to park before your time runs out! Also, if the truck parking is full at Love's, they have room for trucks to park here while staying at the motel! Thanks for making our stay here peaceful and comfortable!
