Great Staff, comfortable stay

4.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed Sep 14, 2017
The studio room is very nice and comfortable. The stove top with a timer is ok, did not always heat well and had to keep turning the timer back on to finish cooking. Full size refrigerator with ice maker is a plus, but the real bonus is free guest laundry facility! The staff is friendly and courteous!
Date of stay: September 2017
Room Tip: Great location, convenient to grocery store, mall and anything else you might need.

On site self service pantry for basic foods snacks coffee etc. Bonus is free laundry, with modern machines. Also has a fitness room and barbecue/grill area.

We knew from the reviews this wasn't the best in town, however given the area, we felt the room was adequate and clean and served our purposes well. As long as you understand that maid service is weekly and you aren't looking for a resort experience, we feel the room and amenities (can borrow many things to make your stay better) were a reasonable value.

spent one night here. Got a room (handicapped?) it was a very large suite, which was great. A/C kicked butt, which was good because it was super humid out and the room was very stuffy when I first went in.

Room was clean; bed was comfortable. Towels kinds rough. No fan in bathroom.

It did the job. Not really my kind of place, I guess.

Visiting from MN and we spent a week at Cape Cod, and stayed at this hotel on last 2 nights visiting MA before heading to Boston for our last night. This is our first time staying at Candlewood Suites and the location is great- offering Free laundry service with laundry detergent available for purchase for $1 in the cupboard. If you need to do laundry the best time is early morning or late evening as most guests are washing between 9 AM-1 PM which made it difficult to dry clothes as some guests would not remove clothes from the dryer. We stayed in a 1 bedroom suite- offering full kitchen with utensils, dishes, pots and pans to cook with. Overall, the hotel was clean as well as our suite.

Room tip: All floors are nice

We looked at two rooms. The first had a heavy, smoke-like odor. The second had greasy tabletops; the upholstery was covered with crumbs and bits of paper, and the mattress on the pull-out couch was heavily stained and had cigarette burns in it. Summary: Filthy. Gave us the creeps. We left immediately.
