Great Stay on Short Notice!

4.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed Oct 31, 2017
We lost power and needed a place to stay that was pet friendly. Candlewood Suites was close and had a great rate. It was so worth it. The room was great with a fridge, microwave, plates etc, The room was spotless and very quiet. For a pet friendly room - no "pet" smell at all. The little store area was great and if we needed to stay longer - the laundry and gym. The staff was great. We said next time we have out of state visitors - we are sending them here.
Date of stay: October 2017
Room Tip: If you are staying for a bit - get a suite. Kitchen area great and there are grocery stores near by
Trip type: Traveled with family

Reviewed October 8, 2017

The kitchen has a full-sized fridge, a cooktop with two electric burners (no oven), a microwave, a dishwasher, dishes and cooking pans, and cupboard space. The desk/table area was big enough for our needs. We also appreciated having HBO and the major news channels on TV, and, of course, Wifi. We also liked having access to washers and dryers.

The staff was consistently friendly and helpful.

The place could use some refurbishing. Things look a bit old and worn, and the kitchen drawers didn't slide well. We kept hearing a loud dripping noise and finally realized it was condensation from the AC of the unit above ours, dripping on our windowsill.

The big problem was that we could hear the people upstairs all the time. Not just the occasional thump or bump, but footsteps going back and forth (including hearing them get up to go to the bathroom at night), drawers opening and closing, water running (really loud), and so on, from early morning until late at night. It doesn't have to be this way. We have stayed in many places where noise from upstairs was not a problem. It's a matter of quality of construction and flooring.

Room tip: Try to get the top floor

Hi Rosemary W,

Thank you for your stay and for taking the time to share your experience with us. It is great to know that you were able to appreciate the room facilities, staff, and Wi-fi.

I would like to apologize for any inconvenience these issues may have caused you during your stay. Rest assured, your comments will be shared with our management team for the purpose of bringing the improvements needed.

We value you as our guest and sincerely hope to get another chance to give you a better experience on your next visit.

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!

Room tip: Great location, convenient to grocery store, mall and anything else you might need.

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.
