I was so impressed by this particular Candlewood Suites. Upon arrival everything was above and beyond. I was staying there to visit my husband at Healthpark Hospital for open heart surgery. I felt frightened and the staff had shared my problem with me. Showering me with a vase of flowers and a desk like picture of a letter telling me they commended me for my bravery during this time. It was signed by all employees and stated how happy they could show compassion to my family as our roads crossed. I will never forget this Candlewood Suites in Fort Myers Fl. near Sanibel Gateway.

Bed and pillows were comfortable. I couldn't get the clock time to set properly, I didn't need it, but it was annoying. There was no hand soap by the sick in the bathroom, so I used the body soap from the shower. The rest of the experience was pleasant and I'd stay there again. Great value for the price.

Check in was quick and the front desk associate on duty was polite, professional and friendly. Location close to where we met my son on the beach and plenty of food options around. We would definitely stay here again.

The guy at the front desk was extremely friendly. Room was really nice. I typically pay twice as much for a room when I get a hotel. This room was just as nice as any of those. I will definitely be staying at Candelwood suites in the future.

I had stayed for a week. This is a great place if you need a long stay and on a budget. The staff was friendly and helpful. They have plenty of things to help with your stay such as, FREE laundry, pool, gym, a checkout wall of various things that maybe you hadn't brought or needed to borrow, a shopping mart, and 24/7 coffee. They were helpful and wanted to accommodate any way they can. The area around is nice as long as you aren't looking for quick walk accessibility like restaurants or sites. They are next to a school and just a block down is the park that has walking paths around a pond, dog parks, and courts. If I were in need of another extended stay, this would probably be my choice in the area.

Room was good but service not so much.

Room was good but hotel was under-staffed. We arrived late and had to wait several minutes for a clerk. Also, the website was either wrong or misleading saying that breakfast was provided.
