unprepared

This would have been a nice stay, but the check-in was sloppy and the internet didn't work at all. The room was fine, clean and plenty of supplies in the "kitchen." (lots of suites don't provide soaps and some don't even have dishes, but this place had everything you could need) The location was excellent -- just a few minutes to Verizon Amphitheater, but in a quiet and safe location off the beaten path. Fix the problems with the internet connection, and get better front desk staff/computers, and this would have been 4-stars.

very friendly and good location

It was like having your own studio apartment. Your have a refrigrator, microwave, range, ironing board/iron, tools to cooking with and table to eat and work from. Candlewood is clean and has a mini food pantry for quick and oops I forgot items. I would use Candlewood Suites again when staying in Charlotte, NC.
