Rooms are small and not well furnished. Maid service is only once a week, my hot water would take ten minutes to get warm. Shower would be turned to full hot and was still a bit chilly
I used the "free" laundry facilities. Several were out of order and the dryer worthless. My clothes were drying for 3 hours and still were not dry.
I had to hang them in the closet to dry. Very poor laundry facilities. If you bring a pet, you will be put in a special room which is in worse shape, no carpeting, than any other room AND they will charge you EXTRA!
Worst rooms in a box hotel and you HAVE TO PAY EXTRA.
There is something wrong here, something very,very wrong.

I've stayed in a few of these candlewood suites places and I have to say that this one is the nicest. I have yet to visit the workout and or water areas but I looking forward to it. Kitchenette is neat and stocked with the essentials to provide yourself with a decent meal. Service was too notch as always, receptionist exibited good communication, personability and was very helpful without delay.
