“My Stay @ Candlewood Suites was amazing.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed June 29, 2012

My husband and I relocated to Va. due to his job relocation and we Stayed at Candlewood Suites until we could find housing. It was a wonderful place to stay everyone of the staff members were so friendly and courtious. The place was very clean the grounds outside the inside as well as the guest suites. They were very clean and well stocked. It is very conviently located right off the 95 and close to shopping etc. I would reccomend this place to anyone traveling to or staying in this area. I will stay candlewood Suites when I need a place to stay for long periods or even just overnight. Plus the fact that they have free laundry is a BIG bonus.

“Very Impressive”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed June 20, 2012 via mobile

Management and staff are super friendly. The rooms are impressive. Very clean, comfortable bedding. Kitchenette has plenty of room and a dishwasher. Laundry facility could use abit of help but it's free. Right off 95 and convenient to all areas. Best hotel I've stayed in so far and we travel for work 9 months out of the year. Well worth the money

“Traveling Home”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed April 8, 2012

Had a great stay Saturday night. We are traveling home from Key West and this is our second Candlewood in the past two days. Walked in without a reservation and was assisted with a friendly and helpful gentlemen at the front desk. He offered dinner suggestions when asked and arranged a taxi there. The room was comfortable and a good value. The area was quiet – not much traffic noise – and we got a great night sleep. No breakfast offered, but the room does have a kitchen and select breakfast items were available for purchase. We would recommend this hotel as your stop when traveling through the Richmond area.

“Best to avoid”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed April 1, 2012

This hotel was run-down and in an equally run-down area of Richmond. It sits 5 miles south of the city out in the middle of nowhere, adjacent to a Philip Morris plant. I had to drive at least two miles to find a grocery store. Your food options will consist of a Subway, McDonalds, and a sports bar nearby. It would be far better to head north on I-95 towards the city center. The rooms had dirty carpets, smelled of urinal cakes and were not worth the value for the money. I should add the staff was pleasant and helpful.

Thank you, MorgantownPhil for taking the time to review your recent stay at our property. I am sorry to hear that you did not enjoy your time spent here. We have been making various improvements to the hotel, so I'm not sure why you described our hotel as run-down. We've updated our lobby, our Candlewood Cupboard, and added 32" flat screen televisions to all rooms just in the last three months. We are located within the city of Richmond on the South side, and are convenient to lots of great restaurants and attractions by way of a short drive on I-95. The next time you stop by, please speak with the front desk and I know they'll be happy to make sure you find everything you're looking for when staying with us.

“Great Staff”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 3, 2011

Candlewood Suites on Commercer was a wonderful place. There was a full kitchen with all untensils, comfortable bed, good size TV, LARGE bathroom with handicapped facilities. Good weekly rates staring at $50.00. A little on the pricey side for one day, $122'ish....but for the week the prices are much better. We only needed one day and we wanted two beds in the room, but when we got there they didn't have a room available with two bed, so they gave us two room for the same price. GOOD DEAL and kind people at the desk that seemed to acutally care. Those people are hard to run into these days. No pool, but GREAT workout room. No breakfast, but with the kitchen you could cook your own or go to the grill that you could easily walk to, next door. FREE WASHER AND DRYER which would be nice if you had to stay a long time. Rooms were clean and they did have a place where you could buy snacks. Free coffee in the lobby....very, very nice place, especially if you had to stay in Richmond for some time. Very close to the Veterans hospital. There is a fee for pets $75.00, but we had a service dog so she stayed for free.
