We stayed for a tournament for a few days. It was clean, quiet and the staff were awesome. The only draw back were the towels. Wish we were offered more than two bath towels at a time. Other than that loved the full kitchen! Super nice!

A very clean and spacious room. Away from all the hustle and bustle of the city. Only negative was at 4:30 AM on the 26th very loud people talking in the hall. I know I could have called front desk but this was on the first floor just down from where the check in desk is. I can't believe they could not hear them unless they were in the back.

I had asked for a room as close as possible to the entrance due to the fact that my spouse has trouble walking too far and was very satisfied with the room we were given. We felt very welcome by the staff. We liked the location being off the main road also.

Candlewoods Suites was very nice, good location for what we needed. In town for a wedding. However, we booked thru hotels.com and when we checked in we didn’t have what we ordered 2 months before. Hotels.com blamed Candlewoods, and visa versa. The customer (me) got the short end of the stick. Not happy about that. Could have ruined a wonderful occasion .

The hotel overbooked and called us to let us know that they upgraded our room for no extra cost. Unfortunately at check in, the front desk messed up and gave us the wrong room number and we woke up an elderly couple that was in that room at 10:30pm when we tried to get into the room. Then we when we went back to the front desk, they said yeah we realized afterwards we gave you the wrong room key...probably should habe double checked that prior.
