The motel was off the main streets so there was a lot less traffic. The staff was amazing--so helpful and friendly. They went out of their way to make us feel at home. The housekeepers did a great job keeping the whole place very clean. All in all, it was a great experience and we will be back!

There was alot of items in our room that were broken. The furniture was dirty and the bed wasn't very comfortable. The bathroom needs updating and it was alot of noise outside of our 1st floor room. The price per night was very high considering the look of the place. And, they didn't offer any compimentary breakfast of any sort.

Can't follow directions

Well to say I was not happy with the hotel bc of the cleaning crew knocking when I clearly displayed the do not disturb. Called the front desk and it happened AGAIN! I called the front desk AGAIN and he was not happy with his employees not following instructions. The gentleman at the front was very sorry and apologized for the mistake. He said he called hotels.com and requested a 25% refund. I have yet to see that. But if that does come through. I would feel confident in returning to the hotel. I'm sure they're better places to stay and if you want to afford the price difference then I would stay Marriott.

Candlewood is in a nice location of Champaign. Everything is easily accessible either by foot or car. The one thing we did not enjoy was the bed itself. Very uncomfortable, it just seemed like an old mattress and we could feel the springs. The frame was loose and made a lot of noise.

We had a very pleasant evening and morning at the Candlewood. Exactly what we needed: microwave to heat up dinner and coffee in the morning in the room. Countertops were nice in bathroom and kitchenette, big refrigerator and dishwasher. Better than average some cotton sheets! Staff very friendly and heloful.
