Great experience so far. Staff is friendly and accommodating. Suggest that the lobby have brochures and suggestions of local places to eat and grocery stores in the area. This is important for the extended stay aspect.
For a newly-remodeled location, I am surprised the TVs in the rooms are not Smart TVs. This would allow guests to log into their streaming services while staying at this location.

Easily the best Candlewood Suites I've ever stayed at. I've stayed here a couple times now. Very clean interior that looks like it was renovated recently. Quiet environment. Nice large rooms with working kitchenettes and. Decent TV. Beautiful view of the valley if your room is on the backside of the building. Free laundry with plenty of working machines. Well maintained Gym. Internet fast enough to game on. Huge parking lot that can fit most trucks. Very kind and helpful staff. Walmart less than 10 minutes away. This will be my go to hotel when I'm in Hazleton.

KICKED OUT OF CANDLEWOOD SUITES IN HAZELTON, PA FOR LIFE SAFETY COMPLAINT
Kathy and I checked in about 4:30 pm on October 6. Our room was on the lower level. I think it was 104. I walked the wrong way down the corridor when I got off the elevator. I noticed that the Fire Sprinkler Test Room Door was open to the outside (see photo). I figured the staff was actively working. It's a bad safety practice to leave hotel or dormitory doors open to the outside, unattended. It leaves the floor open to violent criminals or vandals. In a Test Room, opening the wrong sprinkler valve will activate the fire alarm and empty the hotel. So vandals are a concern.
Around 5:30 we went to supper. I re-checked the Test Room and it was still open to the outside. This time I took photos. There was nobody in the corridor and nobody outside. We took the elevator to the Main Desk and I told the Assistant General Manager (A.G., I think?) the story.
He said that a crew was working in the area. I explained that I looked all around and nobody was there at 5:30 and the floor was wide open to the back yard. (photos)
I said I want this filed as a complaint and I request my room be compensated. A.G. said he had to check in with the General Manager (J.D.). This prompted several calls back to me as A.G. spoke to the General Manager and relayed his orders. Calls were at at 5:54, 5:59 and 6:04. I repeatedly asked to be compensated as the warning I gave them could have saved somebody's life or prevented a vandal from activating a False Alarm.
A.G. (Assist. GM) told me that the GM was throwing Kathy and I out of the hotel and the Police had been called for 30 minutes. I went up to the Desk at 30 minutes to file a report with the Police. A.G. said the Police came but said it would be "unfair" to throw us out and they left. A.G. told us that J.D. still wanted us out. I warned A.G. that this was a dumb thing to do. Kathy and I were polite and civil. You can't legally throw somebody out for making a safety complaint. Kathy and I had enough - we left.
As an old Facility Manager, I might be slipping? I was so worried about criminals and vandals, I didn't notice the gasoline lawn machines in the Test Room. You can't store GASOLINE under occupied hotel space. (photo)
What a place! Never stay at the Candlewood Suites in Hazelton.

Nice looking room, the place is overall newer looking. Very strange that the room is completely tiled, which makes it pretty chilly. The bed was comfortable and the room overall was good
