What guests think

Recent reviews of Candlewood Suites Houston Medical Center by IHG describe a budget-minded stay near the Medical Center, but many cite aging facilities, cleanliness problems, strong odors, and maintenance issues alongside occasional praise for helpful staff and spacious rooms.

Common complaints include roaches, musty or smoke smells, stained carpets and furniture, and broken items like TVs, locks, and appliances. Several guests noted the pool and other amenities out of service, limited or no hot water, and tricky vehicle access, though the location is convenient to NRG Stadium and the Texas Medical Center. Service is often friendly but inconsistent, and the surrounding area feels sketchy to some. Expect basic, convenient suites but be prepared for dated conditions and uneven upkeep.

Great hotel, comfortable suites, very convenient and well located. My first room was shaking the morning of my second day and the reason is that a huge washer was directly above or under and made the whole place shake. Coming from a country of earthquakes, it was not fun! They quickly found me another room in the same floor. Also great station for free coffee and goodies available to purchase for very reasonable prices. They should improve the A/C system that is still the window type, noisy but efficient. Pool was not open all the time of my stay (one week) neither one of the elevators. They could probably use more maintenance. A single elevator doing all the lifting work is not safe nor convenient. Very kind housekeeping and great helpers. Marta agreed to make my room in the middle of my long stay, even that by default they only offer to do it once a week. Will return for sure, but not a third time if they do not improve the maintenance.

Chose this hotel because of the indoor pool which was out of service and the whole place smelled like marijuana. The room itself was not bad but chose this place for the gym, hot tub, and pool which was non accessible ☹️

Cockroaches! Enough said. Shabby and run-down - broken washers & dryers, pool closed, dirty carpet throughout. Unsafe are, neighboring buildings had armed guards patrolling their lot. I would NEVER recommend this hotel.

This hotel offers shuttle service to the NRG Stadium but not on the weekends, when it’s need the most. The hotel has a smell from the dirty carpets. The staff were very nice and helpful. The hotel was not very aesthetically appealing. Just a place to rest your eyes.

The room was very clean and nice. We were going to NRG stadium and walked back after the event and it was just a little too far to be convenient. There is a lot of fast food connected to the parking lot. The ice machines were taken out but I asked for some ice as we were walking out and the lady at the front desk was nice enough to get some from the back for me. The main downside was that some type of fire alarm went off every night we were there at like 1:30 in the morning.

Staff was real nice and accommodating, especially for the inconvenience. There was roaches in one room and then they were moving us to another room and they had more roaches after speaking with the manager and Expedia. I was able to get a full refund that same night, but, then was having to look for another room at 1 o’clock in the morning. Expedia was not much help trying to locate another room.

There were infestation of roaches on the bed. A Front desk gentleman who wrote his down as being "Alexis" without a work badge on told me to leave the property and he refused to refund or give me another room. And he told me to contact Expedia to cancel the reservation and Expedia would provide the refund. Please refund my money if I am being told to leave.

This place was full of roaches. We let the receptionist know and she said she would tell the owners. The room was not very good. The shower was awful. The curtain floated around when you took a shower. There was water everywhere. The pool looked so nasty. Not enough towels. Woke up to roaches crawling on the bed.

There was bugs and the sheets on the bed was dirty or stained but I think dirty because there was hair in the bed. The mattress on the sleeper sofa was so dirty it looked like sumn from a murder scene and it was so thin you could feel the springs from the frame. The air vent to the bedroom didn’t work and it was hot in the bedroom.

I accidently left a bag of hang up clothes in a clothes bag in the closet. I called the front desk to retrieve the bag to be picked up. The bag had disappeared only house keeping went into the room. House keeping stole my bag and its content.. I jad only been gone from the location for a few hours and at the time i was told the room hadnt been cleaned yet. Housekeeping is the only ones that had access to the room. It has key cards.. And they only knew to go in after I said the bag was there.

This place is a 1 star at best. Location is right be freeway so you get that noise. Then, it’s in a rather decrepit part of town. So, you don’t want to be alone at night going to your car. The pool was shut down by the city. Our room had ceiling paint falling on the pullout couch during the night for a horribly done patch job over a major leak they repaired. Hallways and paint needing refresh 20 years ago
