Your front desk person was excellent. When we mentioned the smelling issue he looked and saw there were no other rooms available. He quickly went in the back and came back with a spray and a room deodorizer. That fixed the problem. Later that night I asked where the ice machine was. He said it was broken. He said he had some bagged ice in the back he gave me what I needed and all was well. Sorry I don’t remember his name. He deserves a bonus or a little recognition for all he had to put up with that night. We appreciated his service. I traveled a lot for work over 25 years so I can appreciate a check-in person/ manager who does a great job.

Jennifer at the front desk was so nice and welcoming. She had our rooms ready as soon as we arrived. The beds and pillows were wonderful, rooms were quiet, and we slept well. Our dog Leo, who has anxiety issues, was very comfortable, and used the pet area outside with no problems at all. We stayed here last Christmas as well, and will continue to do so on our trips home to visit family!

What a wonderful stay we had at Candlewood Suites! At affordable price. Friendly host, helpful in many ways. Room was clean fresh, full of all the things you would want.Laundry is free for guest, just what I needed! Close to shopping and many places to eat. We will be staying here again on our way thru next year but will be looking for more of these hotels as we travel.

Check in staff was awesome! Quick and convenient to lots of different restaurants and shopping is abundant. Bed was insanely comfortable and the pillows were great since most of hotels have cheap flimsy ones. Bathroom was spacious and clean. Only complaint about the stay is the shower heads themselves needs a deep clean since they had lots of calcium build up. If you need to stay in the area lay all I’d recommend this hotel and their rooms with the kitchen and such in them because you have a full size refrigerator, full size microwave, small stove top, plenty of cabinet storage, etc. Also pretty cheap in their fees. $25 per night per pet and only a $10 incidental hold. Other hotels are charging $75 per pet and $50 hold.

Good facilities in the room, if wanted you could cook a meal. Unfortunately the mattress was sagging in the middle which made for an uncomfortable nights sleep. We had to sleep on the edge luckily it was a king size! We found the air con control was confusing to operate, to a reasonable temperature. We would recommend this hotel, as it is easily accessible to many nearby historic attractions.

Room was in good condition and the staff was courteous. We specifically selected a room with a pullout sofa to accommodate all our guests. When we opened the pull out, the mattress was unusable (nothing but springs left, no padding) and had crumbs and fruit snacks on it. There was also no bedding or pillows for the pullout. Our very tall guest ended up having to sleep curled up on the sofa.

Charged me for smoking when I didn’t smoke. Also allowed other guests to come in our room while we were there. Make sure you stop at the front desk every time you come back in because your room key won’t work. Staff was very rude. I wouldn’t stay here again if it was free
