The recent renovations are evident throughout the hotel. Everything felt updated. My room was clean, well appointed, comfortable, and most important to me, quiet. I was very impressed by the quality and number of resources available in my room to accommodate anyone who needs to stay for a few days or weeks (e.g. stovetop, microwave, oversize refrigerator and separate freezer.) The room also had a high quality, comfortable, and supportive recliner chair and newer flat screen tv that made me feel just like I was at home. I do want to single out Alondra at the front desk for outstanding, courteous, and professional service and care. She went above and beyond to make me feel welcome and to make sure everything with my stay met my expectations. Kudos to her for her excellent guest care.

I came to this hotel I was only checked in for 3 hours. The lady at the front desk was very nice. I checked out because the room looked nice but then I started seeing the grossness. I found pube hairs in the bathroom, stains on the sheets and the dishwasher filter was pretty bad, and cigarette butts in the stairwell. I asked the manager Oscar for a refund and he said I can give you $50 of the $175 room. I refused called IHG and they said Oscar was the final authority on the matter. So I am out money! But learned a lesson, dont stay in hotels.

Nice place. Typical Candlewood. They charge a $10 parking fee. Even if you don't have anything to park. I flew in and rode with a coworker. Still cost me the $10.
