Most of the staff was very pleasant and easy to communicate with. They made our stay feel very home like. The overnight desk attendant was not very nice and did not communicate well at all.
Candlewood Suites is a hotel for everyone. They make you feel like you are home. The hotel is very clean and the people at the front desk and all the cleaning crew were very nice. I will definitely come back.

Liked: Staff & service
Disliked: Cleanliness
Size of the room was nice- the bed was very comfortable and the bathroom was a decent size.
When we 1st walked in the room had a smell and had to open up the window- the counter top still had crumbs on it and the bathroom tub had dirt on the bottom. I wasn’t very happy with my stay unfortunately.
The newly renovated candlewood is a pretty nice hotel. My room had a kitchen and a nice bathroom. It was a great experience. Rooms were clean didn't find anything gross or unusual. Next to the highway but you don't really hear it from the inside. Service was great and everyone seemed very friendly. The price to have your dog stay with you was very reasonable.

Staff were nice and friendly. Hotel had a strong cleaning smell that tried to mask some smoke smells. Carpet in my room smelled bad and the fan was noisy. Otherwise comfortable room and bed was nice.
