Amazing stay at Candlewood Suites! The hotel was clean, comfortable, and welcoming, but what truly stood out was the exceptional customer service. Michael and Kasey went above and beyond to make sure everything was perfect. They were friendly, attentive, and genuinely cared about my experience.
It’s rare to come across service this outstanding, and they absolutely made my stay memorable. I would highly recommend Candlewood Suites and would gladly stay here again because of them.

We stayed for one night. Desk service was good. The room was clean, the bathroom had all the necessities required and was clean. There was an array of TV channels to choose from. I used the gym and there was very minimal equipment. I used the treadmill and it was good and had a screen attached. I looked for a yoga mat or any surface to stretch afterwards and there was nothing.

Needs a deep cleaning
This room was filthy. The front desk was short with me like they had better things to do.
The cabinets were so greasy.
