From the minute we walked in, till the second we left, we had a great stay. The hotel was spotless and clean. Rooms had everything we needed to cook our dinner. (basics). The only complaint we had was the internet kept logging us out. Otherwise everything was perfect. Everyone we came in contact with was very friendly and helpful with directions and places to eat.

The hotel itself was about 5 miles from downtown. Right off the freeway.

When coming to Kalamazoo, we really like staying at The Candlewood Suites. My grandson calls it our Kalamazoo home. The staff do everything to make it feel just like home. The property is spotless, the kitchens clean and well equipped, rooms spacious, comfy beds and pillows. Even thought they don't have a swimming pool, I still gave it a 5, I knew that before booking, so I don't think it is fair to mark down on something I know before hand. Will stay again when we are back in town!

Really enjoyed the nearly 3 months I stayed at the Candlewood in Kalamazoo. All of the staff very nice, polite, and very accomidating to all of my request. The rooms were clean, up to date and well taken care of.

Not a big thing, but the night I got there (Sunday), I was going to do some cooking and noticed that there was no frying pan. I stay at Candelwood's regularly, so I know what it supposed to be there. I called the front desk that night and the very polite female who answered offered to find one that night. I told her not to hurry, tomorrow would be fine. Next day, no pan. Tuesday, no pan, called front desk again. Wednesday, no pan, called again. Thursday, the pan was waiting when I got in from work.
A more disconcerting problem concerned maintenance. My first night I also noticed that the 3-latch lock on the door was only engaging one catch. I gave it several increasingly strong slams trying to get it to latch, but it would not. I also reportted this when I called about the frying pan. Returning the next night (Monday), I used the key card and tried to turn the door handle, but it wouldn't budge. My first thought was that the repair had gone poorly and now the lockset was jammed. I tried it again, and using a great deal of weight, was able to force the handle to open. Apparently, whoever got the call to fix this lockset thought that slamming the hell out of it was the cure. I didn't report this while there. Anybody that ignorant, who has access to my room when I'm away, I didn't want to give a reason to sabotage my room or my things. Maybe just a coincidence, but I got a wake-up call at 4:45 the next morning that I didn't request. I didn't have to be up until 6:00 that day.
