Very nice hotel, great location, very clean rooms, and helpful staff. The breakfast delivered in the morning is very convenient. The bathroom was clean and modern, which i appreciated. I only wish the mini fridge in our room had been working, since we had gone grocery shopping that day. Pretty uncomfortable having to keep the little food we bought next... More

Appealing and clean rooms, most with fireplaces, and some with kitchens and Jacuzzi tubs (I chose one without fireplace, etc., for a lesser rate). A friendly and helpful staff. Fresh-baked cookies, fruit, coffee/tea available morning-to-evening in office. Pleasant continental breakfast and a newspaper left at door each morning. Very comfortable beds with nice fresh linens and a stylish bathroom with... More

We enjoyed our stay at Candle Light Inn. I loved that it's not located in the main street (Ocean Ave.) so it is a bit more private and quiet but at the same time it's not that far from Ocean Ave. It is near restos, delis and shops as well. Although not that near to the beach, I was able... More

Loved staying at this inn. Beds super comfortable. Location was perfect. Staff was awesome. Plenty of parking. We made use of the fire pit each night and loved it! Couldn't have had a better experience!

The hotel is right downtown. Very clean, well sized rooms. They only have double beds, not queens, so if you're very tall, it might be tight. The outdoor fireplace is well setup with little alcoves so you can have private conversations. The breakfast provided each morning was perfect for someone who just wants yogurt, cereal, milk and some fruit. I... More

This is a property I wanted to book last year, but it was being renovated. So I was very glad to get a room/suite for us this year. The accommodation was perfect for us. A little kitchen, had everything one would need for a few days. The Inn is quiet and the guests like to keep to themselves so no... More

The location was ideal, the rooms very clean and the building quaint and safe. I would definitely book here again, great value and offers everything you need. Rooms were quite large and the Inn was quiet. Staff at the front desk were very accommodating and helpful. We plan on staying here again next time we visit.

Hubby booked this spot for our Anniversary weekend. Great location, a few doors down from Hog's Breath Inn (Clint's restaurant) and The Art of Dr. Seuss gallery. When we walked into our room, there was classical music playing in our room. Nice touch! We had a fireplace, kitchenette with Keurig cup coffee maker, and a small tub with jets. Flat... More
