What guests think

Across many reviews, Candlewood Suites Cookeville by IHG is praised for very clean, spacious, quiet suites with full kitchens, comfortable beds, and consistently friendly, helpful staff, making it a convenient, reliable stop near the interstate and Tennessee Tech.

Guests like the indoor pool and free laundry, though the pool is occasionally closed, cold, or missing towels, and the property does not provide breakfast (a snack/coffee area is available). Recurring drawbacks include road construction complicating entry, occasional maintenance or noise issues (A/C, ice makers, water pressure, odors), and periodic check-in delays or billing mix-ups. Expect an apartment style stay suited to short stopovers and longer visits.

The first night was good, then on Saturday my kids wanted to go swimming but they closed the pool for maintenance, that was one of the main reasons I booked this hotel because they had an indoor pool, they could of at least discounted my second night since I had kids and they couldn't use the pool, I was very irritated that's really only thing my kids wanted to do is swim and we couldn't even do that, not very happy momma right here when I spent over $ 225 dollars for 2 nights

We had a fantastic stay here. The staff was super nice, and helpful. The room was clean, and layed out nice! Fridge with ice maker, stove top, dishwasher, microwave, toaster, coffee maker, and cookware with dishes! The pool was indoor and heated. It was a great swimming area. They also have a small snack store located in the lobby. I give this place a big two thumbs up for luxury! Will definitely be coming back!

Very nice place to stay, and this is a fairly newer property too. The rooms are already accommodated with all the Dove hygiene products you need for showering, and then the kitchenette is equipped with numerous cooking accessories so you can prepare a decent meal for yourself if preferred. The room is also very spacious and definitely suitable for those long term stays if you’re working out of town or just a comfy get a way to visit the beautiful state of Tennessee. This room will not disappoint and it’s a very well kept property, the pool is always well kept too, and there’s a laundry area, and work out area too and the vending area is stocked with yummy food and the coffee is the freshest, it’s truly worth the money to stay here! All the Staff was amazing and extremely helpful. The main thing is and always has been my main concern when picking a good hotel is that our room was very comfortable and extremely quiet and so cozy. Check in and check out was also such a breeze! Honestly the overall experience was a 10 out of 10 and the best part is that it always is here each and every time we stay at this particular hotel. The rooms have always been freshly cleaned and just conveniently ready to just dive right into our stay relaxing and it’s been like this each and every time we visit this beautiful area! Highly recommend this hotel to anyone.

We only stayed one night, & booked 2 rooms, both of which were very clean & comfortable. The staff was wonderful, especially Shannon at the front desk. The hotel was right off the freeway, & close to restaurants & gas stations. The indoor pool was warm, clean & enjoyable. We would definitely stay there again, & highly recommend it.

My room was spotless, comfortable, and quiet—perfect for relaxing after a long day. I especially appreciated how safe and secure the hotel felt, both in the common areas and around the property.

The room and property were fine. When we went to open up the bed, there was a couple large hairs in the sheets. When we asked for new sheets and explained, the front desk apologized several times and gave us new sheets and offered to change the sheets right away. Our guess is the sheets were changed and the hairs were probably from when the housekeeper was changing sheets. We would stay there again.

The hotel is very convenient to access with regard to its proximity to the interstate and restaurants (along with TN Tech University). The desk staff was very friendly. The room was good and very well equipped with the necessities in a suite. The cleaning staff should have checked the hand soap supply for the room as it had enough for only one hand washing. The mattress was good for sitting on, but made a v when laying on and your body would roll to the middle while the sides of the mattress were up. I would definitely stay here again, but hopefully on a different mattress.

I’ll tell you what. This is such a great hotel, but there was a problem. Our Expedia reservation didn’t show up in their system, although I had the confirmation and itinerary number. The young man at the desk was new. He had no idea what to do. The manager was on premises but off duty and was not helpful. He spoke to Expedia and had it confirmed that I had a reservation so he checked us in. In spite of his assurances to me that we would not be charged twice, the next day we were charged again. It cleared the bank and so I have paid for the room twice. Not okay! Still trying to get a resolution. The people checking in before me had the same problem. I also heard them being assured they wouldn’t be charged again. I wonder.

Very nice property. Only one check in agent with a line that took us close to 30 minutes to get checked in after a 9 hour drive. One key didn't open the kitchen door or room door. Employee didn't have time to open the door for me to buy some snacks and drinks. Waited until another guest could let me in, about ten minutes.

The front desk staff were amazing. We were in Cookeville for a funeral and needed a space for family to gather. They found a meeting room, set the room up, got trash bags so we could empty the trash can without waiting or bothering staff, and got us ice. Samuel, the evening front desk staff, was simply amazing. He greeted us with a smile, talked to our grandchildren, made jokes with our teenage grandson, and assisted us with every single request. With our visit to Cookeville a very sad one, our hotel stay was comforting. The beds were amazing, pillows galore, soft linens, and overall the stay was great. I would definitely stay again.

This was the first time that my son and I stayed at Candlewood Suites. We really liked the room that we stayed in and we felt like we were "home." Everything was great. I have no complaints. The road construction on the road in front of the property was something that Candlewood could not help. If we come back to the area, we will definitely consider this place. THANKS!

Very nice hotel. Large room, clean bathroom, big tv, very nice bed. Staff is friendly and accommodating. The only thing that will stop me from returning is that they do not offer any breakfast. So many hotels with the same quality and price point are offering breakfast that I will want to stay at one of those. It was a really nice hotel, but the breakfast thing will cost them my future business.
