My room was pretty spacious stocked with different kitchen necessary such as pots pans plateware etc. The bathroom had its own shampoo conditioner and bidy wash, different from the standard mini bar of soap. Honestly, surprised with how much the room had to offer for a single. There was also a gym on the first floor, which is great if you find the time to utilize it. Overall, i enjoyed my experience and would book again if in town.

Even if cleaned dont offer menstrual stained comforters. Throw them out and reorder new ones. Its just nasty.

Great location! Good for short stay centrally located. Unfortunately the room had a very bad smell I. It due to previous guests cooking in room. Our clothes all had to be washed due to the smell after trip. Room was mostly clean and staff was great. Again stay was very brief and accommodations were good other than the smell in the room.

This is a decent hotel for a nights stay. Stayed on first floor, there was a smoke smell in the hall, and when I got to the room someone had definitely smoked in there. I quickly changed rooms. The hall was somewhat nosey and people were in and out all night. Not a resort but ok for a night.

I was very average the room took about 5 hours maybe five and a half hours to warm up but the AC and the heat if you turn it up to like 80 once it reaches 80 it's just off and blows cold air back in the room and then shuts off and then goes back to 80 then shuts back off and blows cold air back into the room so the heating unit in the room is very I guess they would say eco friendly but as into me if I want my room set at 80 I want my room set at 80 not 80 then go back to 74 or 63 and then go back to 80 where I got to be wrapped up in covers half of the damn night but other than that the room is very eco-friendly a bit small on my scale but it's doable very comfortable bed I like how secluded it is in the area so it's like a little hidden gem overall state is I give it a 4.2 out of five

The bed was comfortable and the room was fine. The room had been renovated at some point but still feels like a budget room. There were a few things that were damaged (a rip in the blackout curtain which was solved by taking a hanger out of the closet and clipping the two blackout curtains together in the middle to cover the rip) but otherwise it was very reasonable.

We've stayed at the Candlewood Suites many, many times since about 2007/2008. It is convenient to many areas of Raleigh and surrounding areas; it's very close to shopping and dining; the staff are highly interactive, communicative, responsive - the AGM and GM especially. They are pet friendly up to 80 lbs which is a real plus. The facility itself is showing signs of aging, however, and there are some minor needs for rehab, repair and maintenance. The convenience center in the lobby needs much more variety of nighttime snacks at reasonable prices and improved stocking of them. Regardless of the minor flaws, we highly recommend CS at Crabtree Valley - the beds are the most comfortable we've ever had at any facility.
