Clean, decent place.

Nice place. Computer problems at Check-in. Not sure if it was the Front Desk Agent's inability or not. She kept saying, "This computer hates me." Also, hot water issues. We had to notify the Front Desk of the problem. It was fixed in a timely manner.

Problems with the Bill

There was a problem with the billing. I had to call the hotel with questions about the bill that appeared on my credit card account. The general manager Oscar fixed the major problems but I still have a $5.34 charge on my bill that is unexplained. This took away what was otherwise a wonderful stay.

Thank you!

After a 13 hour drive and a heck of a scare after realizing the original hotel we book was a filthy cesspool, the clerk who greeted us at 9:30pm 5-19 was an absolute angel! She was friendly and welcoming and most definitely calmed my nerves. The rooms and property were clean, comfortable, quiet and safe! I’m sorry I didn’t catch the desk clerks name but she turned our entire trip right side up and I thank her! It was my first stay at a Candlewood Suites but not my last!
