Even though the pillows werent the best the bed was comfortable and I was still able to get a good night sleep.... More

The studio suite was very nice. There is no complimentary breakfast, but with the money you save you can have a great breakfast at Perkins in the same vicinity. I stayed only one night and the rates were an excellent bargain compared to surrounding hotels. It is close to Jordan Creek Mall which has a plethera of restaurants for a... More

When booking, you need to know that the Candlewood is the lowest-tier extended stay hotel in the IHG family and that extended stay hotels have a different style of housekeeping than an upscale property. When keeping that in mind, this was a good stay. The staff is quite friendly, the room is clean, and the kitchen was convenient. The bed... More

Room was clean and did not smell (non-smoking room) - good. Bed was small - bad. Coffee pot in room - good. Didn't have another pouch of grounds... More

The hotel is worse than local motels nearby. BEWARE. Attractive features: - rooms smell - pungent pet odor in carpets - rooms are supposed to be non-smoking but you smell smoke in hallway - entryway into hotel looks more like a motel with security entrance. Have to pass through security gate to get to a small lobby/checkin area - old... More

Excellent value for even short trips. Room was spacious, quiet, clean, comfortable. Front desk staff was very helpful & courteous. The climate control was easy to adjust and there was plenty of room to set up my computer and spread files on the table. I will definitely stay here again.

When I first entered the Candlewood I immediately though "hospital" or "dormitory." The high security entrance and the nondeacript lobby evoked the sterile and clinical environments we all are familiar with. However, the helpful desk staff had me in my room within minutes. The newly remodeled room features a kitchen area and a sleeping area. The floor vinyl and carpet... More
