Candlewood Suites CINCINNATI-BLUE ASH

The Candlewood Suites is basically a long-term stay facility and as such does not offer daily room make-up and cleaning unless you specifically ask for it. The refrigerator in the room was incredibly noisy - we had to turn it off in order to sleep. The room was plain but functional. We have stayed at other extended stay places before and they were much nicer than this one. Next time we'll spend a little more.

The room was very comfortable and neat. Internet connection worked perfectly and everything looked new or very clean. I only had two minor problems. The tub was clogged. I told the concierge and she gave us other room. A little uncomfortable, but a good solution overall. The second issue really bothered me. They have system that allows you to take your own food (candies, chips, juices, stuff like that), fill out a form with your room number and pay later. i took a few candy bars and drinks ($4) one night and then I woke early and left. When I came back that day, late and tired, my key wasn't working. the concierge told me they did that because I owed them $4. A silly detail that can totally sour your experience when you are not in the mood. Location is good, but if you need to go downtown plan in advance morning commuters can make that a very unpleasant experience. Neighborhood is good though, not too many stores but if you are driving finding a pharmacy or supermarket doesn't take more than 10 minutes.
