I am a businesswoman and was traveling alone. I did not feel very comfortable in this hotel. I'm sure it's fine if you're a man working in the area. There were all trucks and work cars in the lot and I honestly did not see one other guest who was a woman. Also, someone keyed into my room the first night I was there and fortunately the safety latch was on my door. The person at the front desk brought up new keys to me and said it might have been a maintenance guy trying to come fix something (but no one knocked first). Anyway, I didn't sleep that first night, so I checked out the next day when I was scheduled to stay all week.
Sorry, Candlewood! I love your hotels, but this was NOT for me.

Thank you Mylestraveled for your review on the Candlewood Suites Virginia Beach. I am saddened that your stay did not exceed your expectations. I appreciate you giving us important feedback about your experience. Reviews tell us what we are doing right and what we need to improve on. The hotel is located in an extremely safe area at Town Center in Virginia Beach. A lot of our clients are crews such as Verizon Fios. I can imagine having your door opened at night can be unsettling. We apologize sincerely. I would love for you to give us another shot on us when you return to the area. You can contact me directly and it would be my honor to have you back, Thank you again.
