The room was nice, the staff was very friendly, but.....they only cleaned the room once a week.....I stayed there 12 nights. Had to go down to the front desk to get clean towels. Ran out of toilet paper twice. The place just wasn't managed very well.

The front desk manager and staff were friendly, helpful, and answered many questions. The cleaning staff were very helpful too. The bedding and bathroom linens were fresh, clean, and fluffy. The bedroom was very comfortable and spacious. The living area, sofa, recliner, bar stools, and computer swivel chair were clean and comfortable.

Was a bit reluctant about staying here as I had never stayed at a Candlewood hotel. To my surprise it was a very nice place, clean, convenient to airport, shopping, and not far from Highmark Stadium. They even let us check in a bit early, which was very helpful. Will definitely stay again.
