Liked: Staff & service
The stay was okay. I probably would choose definitely next time around. Some of the issues weren’t the fault of the hotel. The exit, street and surrounding area are under extensive construction. Parking was difficult. You need a parking placard from the front desk, but the Candlewood has very little parking compared to the neighboring Red Roof Inn. Thus, you have to park in the Red Roof lot with the placard from Candlewood. I asked the front desk and they said it was fine, but I was very anxious having to park that far from the hotel. Plus, the Red Roof next door was also super creepy, run down and dirty. Lots of noise and people lurking outside and on balconies. As for the room, it was fairly clean, but had a very strong aroma from whoever used the stove previously. I didn’t need a kitchen, but the room was the cheapest. I now know to avoid a kitchen in the future. Bathroom was good. Only other issue was no one came to make the bed or restock toiletries. I’m not picky nor did I ask if that was normally the policy thus I have no right to complain.

Great experience!

Clearly recently renovated. Clean rooms, very comfortable beds, nice staff, convenient location. Coffee downstairs was very good - freshly ground. Pantry doesn’t really have anything but snacks but groceries nearby and full frig and cooking setup in the room if you need that. We will be back!
