One star deducted for NO POOL. GET A POOL! We were put up in this hotel until our home was ready. My 8yr old would have loved a pool. I know there are other candlewood hotels that have them. Grilling area out back is very nice. GET A POOL

I LOVED my room, super comfy bed - I slept SO good, room stocked with all the necessities and then some, Dove bath products - super happy with my stay and the value. The property is a little dated but it didn’t affect my score because everything else was so great. Evening and morning staff were both extremely nice and accommodating.
