Wonderful
All reviews shown are from real guest experiences. Only travellers who have booked a stay with us can submit a review. We verify reviews according to our guidelines and publish all reviews, positive or negative.
The room was wonderful and the location was awesome. The kitchenette in the room made the stay even better. The only issue was the lack of regular cleaning of the room. We used the same towels during our entire stay.
The staff was very friendly, very considerate. Special Omar he went out of his way to make sure we had a great hotel experience.
The housekeeper Sarah was very polite, friendly the room was very clean and smell clean... Everyone from David Smith the G. M Tracey the A.G.M Brandy, the housekeeper, Ashly all so helpful and so polite to talk to . If you're looking for a home setting in a hotel, this is the place you have your own kitchen area and they have free washer and dryer. So you come with clean clothes and you leave with clean clothes. That was a big change from most hotels. We will be back.

Room was very clean and well stocked with towels and essentials . Staff was friendly yet professional.
Honestly the ONLY issue I had with candle wood is the fact that w request an extra pillow. When I got to my room to check in, the pillow was just laying on the floor outside the room as if they didn’t have a key to actually put it on my bed like a normal hotel.
The room and service were great. My issue is I booked a one bed room king suite and they didn’t have it for me I was given a regular king suite. That force my love one to have to stay at the hospital another night.
Very Clean room. Professional and friendly staff. The hotel is close to many amenities!
My wife and I would like to stay there again!

This is the best hotel in Gainesville GA The staff are accommodating and friendly . The rooms are clean. The beds are comfortable and shower heads have good water pressure .
Seeing that it was only the 2nd night in operation, the place was immaculate. there were a few hiccups, but the staff handled everything perfectly. Will definitely stay here again my next time in Gainesville.
