The big drawback for me at this property was the front desk staff. So unless you’re unfortunate enough to get the same person, your stay is likely to be excellent. I stayed in room 313 a queen bedded studio suite.

PRO's:

• Full kitchen (no oven) with 15 cf fridge, stovetop, micro, dishwasher with solid surface counters
• Modest size tile bath was clean. It’s nice to have soap larger than a “Chicklet” to wash with.
• 32” flatscreen with DVD. DVD’s are available at front desk
• Good lighting
• Small grocery store on main level for nighttime snacks, drinks, desserts, etc
• Price
• 2 sets of dishes with silverware to eat with.
• Close to Premium outlet mall and restaurants in case you feel compelled to lighten your wallet. The beach is also nearby, go there instead. It’s cheaper…

CON’s:

• Inattentive front desk staff. I had a shipment arrive ahead of me (which I was unaware of) and it sat at the front desk until I asked for it the next day. I also had a fax come in and wasn’t called to say it arrived.
• As an extended stay property, there seemed to be a disproportionate number of small children running the hallways occasionally. Overall, not a big deal.
• Unspectacular bedding. Hard foam pillows.
• Internet connection slow at times. Repeated log in gets frustrating.

WORK AREA
• The work desk was good size, with a mediocre chair. 4 outlets for electronics

Breakfast/Food

Not provided, as each unit has a stovetop and fridge, eat as you would at home. No problem there, plenty of stores nearby.

SCORE: This is an excellent property. I tried not to penalize it too much for the poor performance from the evening front desk clerk. It definitely affected my stay, but is less likely to affect yours.

I would give this property a 90/100 overall and a 100/100 for value. I would likely stay here in the future

This hotel has just about everything you need for a stopover, great facilities and a short drive to the most beautiful beaches with free parking. As it caters for long stay as well as short stay clients it has fully equipped kitchens in the rooms, plus on-site laundry which is free of charge (pay nominal fee for powder). This is a perfect short stay location when on a road trip.
The only possible downside is a lack of restaurants within easy walking distance - only immediate option is a fondue restaurant, about 15-mins walk to some fast food style outlets. Have to say, the manager on duty on Thanksgiving (?Jared) is an absolute star!

Pro - This hotel has all the convenience with full kitchen, free washer/dryers and towels. The kitchen utensils and restrooms are clean. There is an outdoor pool and gym. It has a small store in the lobby for essentials.

Cons - The pool needed some cleaning but at this time of the year few people opt to go to the pool. The entire hotel is pet friendly which makes this place look damp. It is 1.5-2 miles away from beach.

Loved our two nights in Candlewood Suites. Everything we needed -- plus quiet, clean, very comfortable bed. I booked this hotel based on reviews and price -- and it exceeded our expectations. Really happy we selected it. Staff was friendly and very helpful. We will return.
