I've stayed at this location several times over the years, but most recently to visit friends and use a Points Break offer. It's location is the highlight - being so close to the mall, but other than that it's just your run of the mill extended stay hotel.

I found this property great. No, it's not fancy. It's very basic. But it's immaculately clean, well-maintained and a great bargain. One review noted that there are no ice machines. No, there are no ice machines in the HALLS. But each room has a full sized refrigerator with it's own ice maker, plus a stovetop, full sized microwave, dishwasher, dishes... More

I spent 45 days at this property. This is basic extended stay property. No-frills lodging. The hotel nice and clean for its age. I really enjoyed being close to the mall, nice restaurants, and the interstate.

Despite reporting a remodeled status in the past 2 years this hotel is clearly 'dated'. Everything from constantly broken washing machines that leaked all over the floors and into the main hallway. There didn't seem to be an overly focused effort to make a permanent repair. The television in my room was something from the past. Must have been a... More

We have stayed at Candlewood before and I didn't remember it being so tired and dingy. The room was spacious, we had a two room suite. The floors were what got me though, they really needed deep cleaned and well really the walls and everything could of used a deep clean. Very disappointing since it cost nearly as much as... More

We had never included a stay at Candlewood because we knew nothing about it. We made a late reservation and had no problem. We were surprised. It is not your typical hotel. Geared to long term stays it included a full kitchen, including dishes and silverware. The laundry was complimentry. The room was clean and good size. The young lady... More

We shut the a/c down and went to check out the fitness room...VERY SMALL! When we came back to the room it smelled like something was burning. We called the desk and someone came up. The thermostat... More

I stay at this Candlewood Suites location on a regular basis. It can't be beat for the personal service and as a frequent traveler, I almost always get a free upgrade I have experienced very few minor issues in the last several years that I have stayed there and they are promptly addressed.

On a trip for WingDing (Annual Goldwing motorcycle show) and had the best stay at the Candlewood Suites. Room was spacious and enjoyed leisurely breakfasts we cooked in our fully equipped kitchen. The room was within great travel distance to the venue for the weekend. The city has fabulous fireworks display over the water. The staff was friendly. Since staying... More
