Great property and great location, but we were woken up on a Sunday morning by a company hired to power wash the exterior of the hotel. The hotel seemed at about 50% occupancy and the crew had been working since at least Saturday when we arrived. We were unable to open our blinds since the crew was outside our window on a bucket-lift. Then after checking out, one of the workers parked so close to my truck that I had to crawl through the passenger side to the driver’s seat to pull out. The parking lot had tons of spaces, but they either chose to block me in or chose to not move their car when spaces opened up. I stood there for a couple minutes looking at the workers giving them a chance to move, but they didn’t—they just stared to see how I was going to get out of my parking space. Unfortunate experience, but it affected my stay. I would think it would be best to schedule power washing that allows them to look inside the windows and run power generators—have them work during the week when there is less weekend hotel guests.

The room was nice, however our room had a odor and had to ask for an air freshener. No swimming pool, no breakfast, the gas grills looked like they hadn't been clean i a long time. Not recommended for a weekend stay with children.

Property is in a good location. Not too far from Corpus Christi (there’s ongoing construction). Ten minutes over and back from North Beach. Major retails stores and restaurants nearby and all close by 10 pm. Rooms come with kitchenettes so no breakfast provided. Attentive staff, clean rooms, washer & dryer machines free to use (need updating), well lit parking, mini store, free ice. Satisfied with stay and would book again.

Although the highway along where the property is located was under major construction with many closures ( which ultimately was very confusing) this property was very conveniently located to the area on which I was on business. The property is very clean and new feeling. They have a great sitting patio area, but unfortunately, the fire feature was not working...would have been great for the 2 chilly nights I was staying.

The a/c was off in our room when we arrived, so it was 80 degrees in the room. The ceiling had mold spread across more than half of the ceiling. The bathroom had multiple mildew spots in the shower. The entire room smelled musty. The hallway managed a smell that I can only describe as a combination of: gym socks, cheap industrial cleaner, and new carpet- very weird and unpleasant. Both of our daughters had multiple bug bites when we left- so, bed bugs? The staff was friendly at check in and check out, and as much as I appreciate that, even friendly staff does not make up for the subpar standards in the room upkeep. The photos online are not representative of the actual room we were in.

Diane, the Receptionist at check-in is FABULOUS!!! The cleanliness of the room was NOT as expected. There was a bottom part of pajamas under the recliner in the room and there was some dirt on floors. For a Hotel as nice as Candlewood Suites, the cleanliness was a disappointment.

As soon as you walk in the place smells amazing and clean staff at the front was very courteous and helpful quick check in he also helped me with a beach recommendation to which my family and I went and it was in fact as he mentioned room was spacious and had all you need to enjoy your stay fridge microwave plates cups you name it my wife and I also forgot our shampoo and believe me they had it all including bodywash and conditioner right on the shoer so we were set. Will definitely book this hotel again and hope all the candlewood hotels are like this around the world because I will book everywhere I go.

Hotel was ok, but for fairly new property quality of construction and finishing not so great. I’d be concerned if I was property owner. We had a couple loose tiles on floor of bathroom Surprised the hotel didn’t have a breakfast. Same category and price of many hotels that include a breakfast. Front desk person said it’s because room has kitchenette. Room was good size with separate sitting area which was one thing I look for when booking. Given other options in exact location—hotel area—I probably wouldn’t stay there again

We came in to Portland for a 1 day softball tournament. The hotel was nice and it was one of the quietest sleeps I’ve had. Literally no noise, loved it. We would stay here again. Room was nice and spacious. The shower was nice just needed a little more water pressure. Other than that , great stay!

The only complaint would be, where you turn left off of Broadway. You have to turn in through the opposite traffics' left turn lane. Consider a rear entrance from the street behind.
