Musty lobby. Wet floors in the room by the crappy AC. No breakfast. Dirty room. Two spoons in the “kitchen”. Toilet barely flushed. Charged me an extra $150 for booking early even though I am an IHG diamond member. I would never stay here again and Candlewood is embarrassing for letting this place be run like this.

Rooms are old and need refurbished. The air conditioner in our room did not blow cold. The staff were super friendly though which countered the old rooms.

Beautiful hotel with pleasant common areas and a good location. However, after staying here for two weeks, we have not received any towel changes, clean bed sheets, or replacement trash bags. Unfortunately, room cleanliness and housekeeping do not seem to be a priority, which significantly affects the guest experience. It's a shame because the property has great potential, but the lack of attention to these basic details leaves a negative impression.
