It was just ok

It was just ok. The room did have a slight odor. I figure it was a dog smell since it us a pet friendly hotel. There waa not enough outlets by the bed either. Kinda weird when we got off the elevator on our floor that one whole wing was blocked off for construction.

Upon entering my room, there was a used water bottle, spray bottle with cleaning solution inside, and a phone charger left on the desk area. The linen on the bed had grease stains. The staff on duty, acknowledge my concerns, but it seems as though someone had been I the room before I arrived and I was not pleased with the bedding.

This is an older Candlewood property that has been well kept. Still it is not new. The free laundry room will make you want to gladly pay. It is tucked away in a nice quiet residential area and that is a big plus versus the other guys.

It's always a delight to stay at a Candlewood. However, my toilet had a small slow leak, and when I arrived I had to jiggle the handle to make the larger leaking stop. Other than that the room was great.

Just stayed for a night on our way up to Wisconsin. Did the Mega Cavern, which was only 6 minutes away so it was super convenient. Right off the highway so you have access to lots of stuff but it was also in a quiet area. Room was clean, kitchen was stocked. But the ice maker never produced ice by the time we checked out in the AM. They did not have another ice option in the hotel because all rooms have ice makers in the fridge, but ours did not work. Still would recommend!

No tenough towels. No shampoo, conditioner or soap. No paper towel. No hair dryer. Tub drain backed up. If you come in at night you have to park in the back- no entry into hotel. Did not feel safe. Guest were loading rooms through windows- seemed sketchy.

Broken Key Card Machine/Limited Parking

Key card machine was down and there was limited parking at the front. I could only use the front door but had to park in the back and had to walk around the building every time. There wasn’t anywhere to even pull up to to at least drop off my stuff. Staff had to let you into your room anytime you left. Especially not ideal if you’re traveling alone. They never checked ID’s so you could have gone into anyone’s room. I got unlucky and had a room on the first floor right outside the gym/laundry room. It was pretty noisy all weekend. Hopefully the keycard issue sin’t a problem for future visitors, but I don’t think I would stay here again.
