I'm not looking for fancy or unique; I'm only looking for three things: clean rooms, comfortable beds, and good locations. The Candlewood Suites meets all three. Quiet building and a very helpful staff. A great experience. Shower pressure was great but didn't have hot water long enough for a full shower. Not going to lower my review for something that might only have happened to me.

Stayed for a month and absolutely loved it. The front desk staffs are very cordial. It was nice interacting with Brittany, Lisa and others. The room was spacious and very clean, it also had a kitchenette which was very helpful for me. Also lots of good options nearby for eating out. It also has a gym and laundry room. The only thing is when someone uses the dryer the room above it vibrates.

We’ve never been happier with a stay at a hotel!
Perfect spot for an extended stay as the beds are incredibly comfortable and there’s a full sized fridge and stovetop. The laundry room is clean, conveniently located and there’s also a fitness center. There’s a nice little convenience store right by the front desk with awesome options.
But really what made us love it here was the staff. Brittany is just the sweetest, and the whole crew of ladies have been incredible and friendly. You don’t always meet such awesome people during your travels, all of the ladies are 10/10 in hospitality.
My partner and I kept saying “dang I love them!” After our interactions.
Will definitely look for another Candlewood during our travels.
