When I arrived for check-in the customer service representative was polite friendly and informative. However upon entering my room I noticed there was a lot of noise going on what sounded like next door to my room so I called the front desk and asked was there any construction going on next door to my room because it was awfully noisy. She then told me that there was construction being done on the third floor. I was on the first floor and the noise sounded like it was next door to my room. She assured me they would be finished by 5pm and they were but we're back at it again in the morning. If they were on the third floor and I was on the first floor and it was that noisy, I'd hate to hear what it was like on the second floor. Shower floor was in poor repair. Cracked and sinking.

I love the fact that you have a really clean and working stove and full refrigerator, also roomy closet with an ironing board and iron. However, the two nightstand lamps did not work and there was no hand soap. The elevator was out of order which I understand is out of the facilities control, but very clean and in great location.

I gave a 2 star because the desk associate decide to not tell us the elevators were broken until we swiped our card. I asked for a handicap assemble room because of my mom. She could not accommodate us by putting us on the first floor either. If someone ask for a handicap room, best practices is to make sure you do not fill all those rooms when you know your elevators are broke.

The staff was always pleasant. Literally from the front desk representative to the maintenance guy. The property outside looks to be well kept as well. The parking lot is small but it maintained parking for our visit so no complaints there. The hotel seemed pretty clean throughout until we stepped in the room. There was a funny odor. The bathroom curtain had a brown smear on it and was very tattered and worn. Definitely has had its use. There was quite a bit of hair in the tub and on the towel and rags. My son was really grossed out. I personally take my own towels and rags everywhere I go so I didn’t use theirs. The room I had was with 2 queen beds and my bed felt like someone walked through the parking lot and jumped into the bed. There was so much dirt in there. No way the sheets had been cleaned. I couldn’t even sleep the first night bc of the dirty feeling. The second night I was so tired I passed out. I booked this hotel thinking I had booked the Clarion hotel next door with the pool. There is no pool here and no breakfast. I was so disappointed that I hadn’t looked back over those things before booking. 0/10 do not recommend.

This is a wonderful place to stay! Love the fact that the floors aren’t carpeted. It makes it feel so much cleaner and more updated. Comfortable beds and large tv. Only issue we had at all was when getting into bed my husband turned over his top pillow and there were 3-4 hairs on it as if it hadn’t been changed and new bedding used. Other than that it had a modern, clean, comfortable feel to it. I would definitely stay here again.

Some appliances did not work, floor was so dirty my socks were black when I walked on the floor. Too expensive for such poor care. Door cards wouldn’t work, we couldn’t get help with the situation. We couldn’t leave the room together. Was not able to get a cup of coffee in the morning, had to drive just for a cup of coffee. No food options on site or in room, no tea, coffee, water, fruit or even a cookie. I would not recommend this hotel.

Well, drove three hours for business and super tired. Turned covers down and noticed tiny (what I thought was dirt or something) until one of the tiny pieces started moving. Yep, infestation of bed bugs. Called front desk and was relocated to the room across the hall. After double bagging all my clothes up, taking ANOTHER shower and checking the room that was still too close for comfort, I finally got to sleep a little. My morning and subsequent business suffered. On my way home now and have to wash everything I have in my bag in hot water and throw away my suitcase. I feel like I want to throw it all away as not to infest my home. An apology would’ve been nice but not front desk staff’s fault. Avoid room 203 or check carefully before you get comfortable!

Loved this area for the variety of shopping and restaurants around this. I had an event downtown so this was close enough and very affordable. My suite was big and roomy but there was some odor like someone cooked Indian food there and the odor stayed. I bought some air freshener to keep it at bay. Also in the evening loud cars and trucks can be heard going past but it stops around 11:00 pm so it didn't bother my sleep. I would stay here again but probably on the back side instead of the front (it might be quieter).

I was extremely disappointed. Every other time I have come to this candlewood, the service has been excellent. I have booked here several times because of it. This time was horrible. The man at the front desk had a major attitude problem. He charged me for things that I was never charged for before. I booked a king suite. He gave me a queen studio and when I called up I was told there was nothing he could do. He started making up all kinds of rules that don't exist. He told me you can't book suites through Expedia. I've booked suites for that specific property through Expedia on five other occasions. Just so disappointed. Won't be back.

The staff here is extremely friendly and helpful; from the front desk to the housekeeping staff. At check-in, Preston was very helpful and attentive. Throughout my 5-day stay, Michael was very professional and exceptionally helpful and accommodating. The hotel was being painted on the outside and the wind blew some of the paint mist onto my uncles truck and Micheal was able to settle it with the manager without incident. We even shared several laughs together about my room key (inside joke). I really enjoyed my stay and I will be back real soon. My only regret is that I didn’t get to say goodbye to Michael before checking out because he wasn’t there that day. Nonetheless, keep smiling and being your best, happy, hospitable self Michael. Until next time! Stacy ❤️

The room was nice, comfortable and inviting. Had a small kitchen i wish i would have taken advantage of. The bed gave me the best nights sleep in over a week, If your staying for more than one night ask for extra coffee. The shower was hot and the room was dark when it needed to be, i was facing the road and didn't hear the traffic as it went past. Thus was a good stay
