What started out as a 2 night stay before we got there was only one night. My daughter and her husband did stay two. The hotel is "off the beaten path", which there is nothing wrong with that. There are stores just a short ways from there that you could get things to cook and eat. The grounds are nice, we were told the hottub worked BEFORE we got there, only to vbe informed it WAS NOT working. They did however have an alternative for u to DRIVE to the Hampton to use their facility. What did bother me is I left a new pair of jeans and shirt in the closet, and 4 hours after I left I had my daughter go to the front desk to get them. They weren't there. Was informed that procedure is to bring said items and log them. My daughter inquired again the same day that evening. No. I called the hotel the next day, and the manager said it was NOT left, and he was sorry. My daughter left that very afternoon. At that point I decided someone else needed new Christmas clothes. So, being an IH member I recieved a survey and that was one of the things I was disturbed about. (Let me stop here and say I stay at between 100-150 days a year in hotels, and have left items only to be returned or sent to me) . THE SAME DAY, almost within two hours difference I got a call from the hotel that they "found" my clothes. How totally amazing. ONE bad thing......and it was discussed several times. If you want it back you either have to go back to the hotel and get them, or pay UPS or FEDEX to have them sent to you. So you decide, if the3y had followed policy, I would have had MY daughter bring them home to East Texas, but since they didn't I'm still pentalized for the return of my clothes.
This is the 1st and last time I will be staying at a Candlewood. It left me with a bad feeling.

My husband and I stayed here for a week with two large dogs. The room was great. nice and roomy with kitchenette. A big plus for an extended stay. There is a nice fitness facility here and free laundry. There is a small store on property that sells all the essentials. The location was very convenient, right off of 45. Big shopping center with a Target, right next door. The best experience I had was with the general manager. He was so very nice and went above and beyond to make sure that our stay was pleasant and problem free. I highly recommend this hotel. Great place to stay with animals. There is an additional fee but this was not a problem for us.

Everything from checked in to checkout was handled with ease and professionalism - rooms clean, service great. We were on our way for a cruise and were late in getting reservations. The facilities we normally use were not available, so this was not the facility of first choice; however, we will most certainly return.

Originally, I was just spending the night on my way home (going from Corpus Christi to Georgia), and stop to visit friends at the church. However, after being advised of the Linger Longer program (stay until 6 pm, for half the daily rate) and being given some suggestions by the girl at the front desk (Can't remember her name, but she deserves a huge compliment. She was the desk after I checked in, and back the next morning) I stayed until 6 and did some sightseeing in the Strand area.

The location is great for the cruise crowd. Its close to the Cruise Terminal, and the Super Target is across the street, for groceries, or anything else you need.

Finally, not only did they acknowledge my Platinum level, but upgraded me to a suite. Very nice, even if it's only for a night.
