Everything was clean but some of the clientele was questionable. There is nothing in the rooms that can be stolen. No lamps, no pictures!

The bed and bathrooms were not cleaned well. There was always a line at the front desk. The people behind the front desk also seemed disturbed every time I would need something. Also they only cleaning once a week

I posted a negative review a few days ago. My apologies as I wanted to stay here but it was full so I ended up in another hotel which was unsatisfactory except for friendly service. I'm unsure why I was asked to review this place and hope this clears up any confusion.

Just stayed in a Candlewood that was great. This is one to avoid. It needs serious renovations. Door locks that fail, TVs that require resets, showers with minimal water flow but maximum slipping risk, no coffeemaker, no laundry—but for some reason that have a huge DVD library, just nothing to play them on. Whoever owns this franchises hotel needs to invest or sell, NOW.
