Had never heard of Candlewood Suites before. Was in Columbia overnight and booked because of location and reviews. Was very pleasantly surprised. Kitchen with full sized fridge, cooktop, dishwasher and kitchen necessities was amazing. They even have a loaner closet with items such as crock pots and games. Will definitely stay at Candlewood again if there is one in area.

Staff was incredibly friendly and accommodating. The suite was perfect and clean. Quiet. Plenty of parking. Great location with gas stations and food options near by. There is a Mexican across the road in a mini plaza that is incredible. You can walk if you want.

The room was very clean and comfortable. The overall service was great. I had a good night stay. I definitely will recommend this hotel. The only complaint I have is the air conditioner was loud, but that is minor.
