- BDBeck DNov 14, 20254.0Had business in Columbus this hotel was located in a good area. Walked to Quaker Steak and Lube for dinner. Stayed on the third floor and only issue was you definitely could hear the person above you if they walked around heavy footed. (Not the hotels fault). Could of used a smidgen more insulation. Liked the kitchen for sure since we bry our breakfast with us.
- EPEve PorterOct 21, 20255.0There is a heated indoor pool and whirlpool! Our room was spacious, with a decently comfortable bed and nice pillows. The kitchenette included a 2 burner range top, full size refrigerator and microwave, garbage disposal and sink. The bathroom was big with good water pressure. Their is full sized shampoo, conditioner, body wash, hand soap, and body lotion. There was a decent space for walking your dogs out back. Restaurants and decent shopping were all very close too!
- MLMattheas LawrenceOct 13, 20254.0The location was perfect to musicians playing at the venues that are in short walking distance of Candlewood. My reservation had become complicated due to third party reservations. The manager helped me get it straitened out quickly and promptly and made it right ! The room was clean and the service was great. Thank you !
- MFMark FarrisOct 7, 20255.0Stayed here a few times for work in the area. This place is cheaper than other comparable places and allows me to pocket more of my daily per diem (to blow on Keno and pull tabs, Lol). Rooms are clean, and staff is very helpful and friendly.
- KNKieu Ngoc NguyenSep 6, 20255.0Spacious, clean, and very comfortable rooms!
