Rooms are lovely n spacious, BUT...the way they handle business there was deplorable...
Along with not getting our deposit back still a full month and a half later!!!
Along with a couple door dash purchases they tried to put on my card in the meantime!!! So BEWARE! Beware!.... Super Jank!...
When it comes to their management and employees! A bit,actually quite a prejudice n judgemental! Not recommended!!!! Only that karma give them a swift kick in the.......

Decent rooms, but the problem is their lights. They're energy conscious, not a bad thing mind you, but it becomes a problem when your bathroom light times out midway through a bath. Or when your bedside lamps time out multiple times, and it turns out your phone didn't charge through the night because of that. Shouldn't have that many problems with something so simple in the grand scheme

Book a room and that's it. No service to room for 4 days. Front end staff were lovely so that's good. Booked online and when checked out, there were "taxes for homeless". Not cool California and hotels. Put that price in when booking online.

If you're looking for an affordable luxury suite, this is the place to go to depending on the weekend or holiday. The location Is amazing cause it 5 minutes away from the mall also 5 minutes away from the beach its very accessible for travelers and public transportation is very accessible as well.
The rooms are amazing from luxury to, having full kitchen, to having a dishwasher, it's own living room. The room had two separated bedrooms with full shower. Thank you guys for making my stay very awesome from JAY the manager all the way down to Vivian and Nancy doing an amazing job at front desk.
I look forward to staying here again I wish you guys the best thank you guys

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Absolutely Wonderful Stay!
We had an amazing stay at Candlewood Suites San Diego! The rooms are huge, clean, and beautifully kept, which made it feel more like a comfortable apartment than a hotel room.
The price was very reasonable, especially for how spacious and well-maintained everything is. On top of that, the staff was incredibly friendly, welcoming, and helpful from check-in to check-out.
Everything was spotless, quiet, and comfortable — exactly what you want when traveling. We will definitely be staying here again and highly recommend Candlewood Suites San Diego to anyone looking for a clean, affordable, and friendly place to stay!
