    They need to readjust their staffing. A year apart and the same unwelcom8ng staff member. She is the worst part of my day and shouldnt be even a consideration of my time in the area.

    This was by far, the dirtiest and most run down hotel we have stayed in, in decades, and that includes a few Motel 6’s along the way! The staff are awesome though…all of them. They work their butts off and are run ragged (the front desk clerk has to do ALL the laundry for the entire hotel, every day AND clean the lobby!) The rooms are filthy and in complete disrepair (light bulbs burned out, caulk missing around tub, microwave handle completely broken off, etc, etc). But the worst part is how grimy everything is. We had to wear socks at all times in the rooms and wow, were they dirty! There is even hair on the walls in the bathroom…it is that grimy. The photos on the web are from 5 years ago when it was remodeled and it has since not been maintained. The photos attached are what it looks like now. The shower was basically a bath and a shower at the same time due to the slow draining tub and non functioning tub/shower valve. Many items were missing in the kitchen and we had to get forks, knives, pan, etc - which were basically taken from other rooms, by the front desk clerk, as they didn’t have any spares. (They said they have complained to the owners multiple times but nothing gets done.) The microwave was a safety hazard with most of the front door handle missing. Good luck washing your laundry and not getting nauseated from how dirty the machines are. RV parks’ laundry rooms are 10x better than this one! We had to check out early because we couldn’t take it any more and we’re getting the eebie jeebies. Couldn’t even enjoy the TV…it was incredibly small. The linens were clean and soft at least. That and the staff were the ONLY good parts of this hotel. The free coffee was completely undrinkable, even with tons of cream and sugar…very bitter. Bottom line, this hotel should not even be considered an IHG hotel and we are taking this experience to the corporate level! NOTE: We learned that the owners have their wives come in and do super quick room turnovers when they are busy - barely cleaning anything. Explains a lot.

    What a great stay! 2 nights 2 days. Anything we needed was accommodated. Please see Samantha at front desk. Her and her staff went out of their way to make us feel welcome. We will be back.

    I’m currently staying there in Candlewood in Elkhart Indiana There is an old lady that works in the front desk she shows up at 3pm and has the worst attitude about everything you can’t even ask for clean towels she told my husband to make sure to get the towels in the morning when the cleaning person are here! What kind of service is this I hope the manager/owner reads this because is ridiculous all the money we are paying I don’t recommend staying here specially if is for long time
