Love the room however their were small issues like the TV in our room worked fine but in order to change channels you had to stand in front of the TV 2 inches away to work, our coffee pot didn't work, but over all we enjoyed our stay and our room and would still recommend Candlewood Suites by IHG.

If you need to park for the night and get up early (there is no official breakfast), it is a good place but, if that is not your plan, skip it.
