This should be the standard that all others follow. Very sensitive to the needs of their patrons. So nice to be able to cook in your own room- 2 burner cooktop, fridge, microwave, sink, a good supply of dishes, even a dishwasher and paper towels!! All this for a price of a regular room!! Very clean, comfortable, modern- but not too modern. Beds and pillows were very comfortable!! Highly satisfied!!

This hotel was a terrific value for the money - $89 and $99 for four nights. It was undergoing a huge remodel and we obtained an updated king suite a month in advance of our trip to Shenandoah. Very clean, new everything, with kitchenette area, plenty of space. Very simple check in, nice gym area, large snack/food/misc area with vending and off the shelf items, laundry was free at the time. Outside of the building had been updated with paint, lobby is on the backside so as not to face the street.

Was really good -general manager and staff were very friendly. The room was excellent and well kept. They had a 24/7 gym that was well maintained and the rest of their facilities were amazing. Any time I’m back in the area I will go out of my way to stay here again.

I have to say it wasn’t the cleanest place. We checked in on Friday and Sunday when we left the same red stuff that was on the elevator button was still there so I know they’re not cleaning. The hand sanitizer around the place was always empty. We were stuck on the elevator, and when we called the call button the front desk, the staff did not seem happy with us because then the elevator had to be reset but that’s not our fault. The elevator wouldn’t go anywhere. There were some people there partying in their trucks out in the parking lot Friday night. Our room was at least decent.

This hotel was absolutely disgusting. The smell of mildew was everywhere. The amount of built up dust and what not on the vents, you could see mildew on all light fixtures. Had we not absolutely needed to stay there I would have walked right out and lost my money. Do not stay at this property.

The room was fine.. cheaply renovated, but fine. The main issue that was awful was that the A/C unit was in the L/R, and there was a 10” fan in the wall meant to pull the air into the bedroom! Room was hot as heck unless door was left open and LR had to be ice cold to make it to bedroom. Shower clean but all floors were dirty.

First of all the hotel is being redone, starting with the 3rd floor and it definitely needs it. Although the room appeared clean the vinyl floors were VERY dirty. I got out of the shower and walked to the bed where I had accidentally left my towel and my feet were FILTHY! In addition, when checking w/ my dog, the gentleman charged me $50/day! According to corporate it is $75 max for 6 nights and under! When I asked about the corporate max he said he would check with the manager when he came in and to check back when checking out. I did just that and the same gentleman was there who said he knew nothing about the corporate policy and acted as it we had never had a conversation. I have spent the past couple of days trying to email corporate, but am having difficulty finding email addresses.

The room was well-designed and comfortable, and the staff, particularly Candi, was very personable and professional. What was upsetting was the parking lot noise in the evening, which Candlewood condones. The hotel needs to set strict time limits for outside and inside noise.

The first night the 3rd floor neighbors stomped around the floor for hours, but quieted down later. The next door neighbors had their base music loud enough to come through our walls. But they too quieted down later. The second night was noise free. Can't blame the hotel, just inconsiderate neighbors. The place was clean, well stocked kitchen, nice bathroom and appeared to be refurbished . Will stay again.

You can hear pretty much everything from the surrounding rooms. As well, don't get.a room on the ground floor next to the parking where you will no doubt be bothered by the rumbling of loud cars 😅

When I arrived after a 10 hour drive we checked in - got the key to room, unloaded car first and was about to get my husband out (as he is wheelchair bound) and my daughter came out and said someone was in our room and they are 100% booked. Needless to say we had to find another room elsewhere. Reloaded the vehicle and moved down the road. The front desk person as far as I am concerned sucked. He moved on to another person checking in while I was waiting to figure out what to do.
