Our stay at Candlewood suites was okay but not wonderful. We stayed 2 nights and the first night the fire alarm went off in our room for no reason at 11:30PM and then the next night at 4AM. Bathtub didn’t drain well. Room was clean and the mini kitchen was nice. Dishwasher was very loud.

The staff were ok, but 2 of them told me the pool was open and it wasn't, there was no breakfast and I had to clean the tub and coffee machine myself because it was not clean at all. I checked out a day early because i was uncomfortable and somebody set the fire alarm off and scared my baby.

We always check for cleanliness before we take our bags in (in case of bed bugs). There were no bugs but the room was dirty. Found a crusty sock under the mattress. Food wrappers were under the beds. The trash cans had stuck food under the liners. The floor had lots of hair and crumbs on the carpet. The bathroom had patch work jobs not repainted and torn up trim with mildew/moldy caulk. The ceiling over the kitchenette was greasy with dust and cobwebs. We felt gross staying there.

Bad Business

Paid a room and couldn’t stay because the hotel wouldn’t accept my bank card even though I had the money. Booked through hotel.com would not refund me or even just give a credit.
