I recently stayed here on business. Just for one night, but that was enough to be honest. I was put into room 130, right beside the amenities, and the noise from that room throughout the night prevented a good nights sleep. If they offer this room to you, I strongly recommend you request another.

I really enjoyed my stay at the Candlewood Suites in Lake Forest. This was my first stay at a Candlewood Suites so if, like me, you are not familiar with them here's what you need to know. These are geared towards extended stays, so maid service is once a week, there's no restaurant in the hotel or room service. This... More

We booked this directly, and requested two rooms adjoining/closely as traveling with teenagers. When we arrived we were told they had no rooms closely, so they had two rooms on opposite ends of the building. The place is pet friendly, so there is a definite odour in the rooms and hallways. The rooms were not very clean, and could do... More

Candlewood Suites is a predictably easy place to stay. If you've stayed at one, you know what you're getting. You can pick up some eggs or cereal and not have to search for breakfast. There is always coffee in the lobby. The little packets of coffee for the little coffee maker in the room are always awful in our estimation.... More
