This Candlewood Suites is a slept on gem in the Reading, PA area. Walking distance to a slew of diverse restaurants, breweries and grocery stores. Attentive staff who went above and beyond to help me feel comfortable with settling in for a few days. Free coffee, gym, laundry, fast wifi and free rental of games, books and other kitchen appliances; they’ve thought of everything. Would recommend it over the fancier hotels that I’ve stayed at before in the area.

The room smelled terrible. We asked for a room that had not been soiled and smelled up by pets and they could not help us. The shower curtain was falling down and the rod was coming off the wall. The shampoo dispenser did not work.

While the front desk staff was friendly and the room was clean, several issues made the stay less enjoyable. The elevator was out of service, which was inconvenient, especially when carrying luggage. The room was set up for two guests but only provided one set of towels, requiring an extra request. Additionally, the overall facility feels dated and in need of modernization. With some upgrades and attention to guest amenities, this hotel could offer a much better experience.

Needs a thorough cleaning. I wiped dust and mold out of a fan that was in the wall between rooms. The tub had a long hair in it, prior to my using it. Cleaning solution or Fabreze was so heavy in the air, I started wheezing. We had stayed at this hotel before with no problem except perfumes lobby. Now it’s in the rooms. Please use fragrance free cleaners and launder with fragrance free products.
