This was a great place to stay! My 2 dogs even loved it. We have been traveling for nearly 3 weeks and our dogs have not taken to a room like they did this one. It was very clean, wide open and super comfortable. I wish i had stayed at this chain in my prior places. Very, Very nice! Oh..... they also have a "Share" locker that has games, mixers and other essentials you may want to use. BRILLIANT!!!

I loved the ease of the check-in and check-out process; on both occasions, it took less than 5 minutes. Also, there was ample parking, great dining options and locations, and the cleanliness was excellent.

Requested king size and got a double. Room smelled like stale cigarettes and nasty disgusting. Parking lot unless you are in the first few spots is a long walk with a baby. When I called to say the room was no good I was just offered to check out with no refund. I won’t ever stay at another candle wood

Front desk staff was awesome. Rooms were very dated and had mildew/ wet smells. Had to change my room 2 times before we found a suitable room due ti the mildew smell. Very surprising at $190/night. Some carpet changes and fresh paint should fix these issues

The customer service was amazing especially the young lady that checked me in. There was a problem with me prepaying through Expedia but she was able to resolve the issue even being new to the job. The property itself seem old and smelled of mildew. My room didn’t smell fresh even after the a 2 day stay. Smelled as if someone left onions in the trash for an extended period of time. This is an ok hotel for a quick stay but if you are looking for luxury this is not it. The price was way too much for the hotel, not a value!

I was in a rush I am a HIlton member and opted to stay here since my normal hotel was booked, i was there for a church convention and got the room late, changed and ran back out, i was so tired that night, i was coughing and my eyes where hurting and when i was about to take a shower severe mold in the bathroom and no ventilation and blood on the curtain, i mention to the assistant manager, i noticed three sticky notes of three other rooms with mold next to mine Houston we have a problem so going back and forth. they wanted to give me a 50 credit, ummm no so i filed a complaint with Expedia.

Musty smell, hair in the bath towels, person at front desk was less than friendly. Many signs with rules such as taking out own trash and the air conditioning needs time to restart due to ecofriendly
