Booked 2 rooms, both rooms were very dirty, toilet was clogged, fire alarm went off three times during the 5 night stay (no EMS response) Towel holder hanging off wall. 2nd room was not in any shape to be rented. The smell of animal urine was insane. Dealing with front desk was awful, finally switched 2nd room after numerous run arounds. Would not let me leave a message for Property manager or regional MGR. Property is not kept up with, side door not secure and falling off hinges, pool was unsafe and inoperable, PTAC holding water smelling like mildew/mold. I actually do this for a living. 6000 units, I will be speaking with corporate. I expected a discount for dealing with all these short comings but instead, I got someone that kept saying they were new to the job and didn’t know how to reach anyone. I do hope someone reaches out to me to make this better.

A system booking problem! Read before booking!

We will never stay at any Candlewood Suites after this trip. After finding out that our room didn't have enough space for our family, we called and paid to upgrade our room size. When we went to check-in after they had charged us for the "upgrade room" we found out that they had us in the same room we had original booked. On top of that the hotel was over booked and there was nothing they could do about changing our room to the room we had paid more for. After hours and I mean hours we were finally able to get our extra money back but we still had to stay in a room that was to small with our child having to sleep on the floor. Along with us there were 4 other family in the hotel that we know about that were having the same problem. Clearly, they have a system booking problem at this hotel! They were so booked that they didn't have enough towels or bedding due to the amount of added people there and how many families were having to make beds on the floor for the kids. The poor room cleaner was running around like crazy trying to wash towels and bedding to get it to everyone. I feel for the front decks works too. They truly were sorry and they tried to do what they could but when you are paying over $200 a night it just isn't ok. The worst part is that we knew so many other families going through the same thing that had booked the right room from the start and they still didn't get the room they paid for. Really think about your family size before you book in this hotel!

I went by the reviews to book this and they were very wrong!! First the pool is closed and they don’t tell you till an hour before you get there, I asked for a pillow for the pull out bed and said they don’t have pillows?!? I was there for a tournament and needed ice for water bottles and my drink that night, the ice machine in the room make about 4 cubes exert few hours, I asked if there was a machine in the hotel, told me no fo a gas station and buy ice, what!?!? The so called paid breakfast is a few things of cereal with no milk, no one was hardly at the fron deal, if you see towels you need to bring yours down to get new ones because there is no housekeeping unless you stay over a week. So could not get towels. Don’t know what I spent over $250 a night on!!!! Don’t go here, there are so many other hotels in the area that are so much better. Awful experience!!!

The staff were ok, but 2 of them told me the pool was open and it wasn't, there was no breakfast and I had to clean the tub and coffee machine myself because it was not clean at all. I checked out a day early because i was uncomfortable and somebody set the fire alarm off and scared my baby.

Nothing felt clean. The exterior looks rundown-nothing like the online photo. Bathroom in the lobby had a broken door handle so it doesn’t even lock. Room smelled musty and was not clean. There were pieces of dog food in the bathroom-so clearly people before us had a dog in there (a dog presence was not an issue for me), but it also meant the housekeeping of the bathroom was less than thorough. The floor was gross so I wore flip flops the entire time. There were stains on the sheets so I just had to self-medicate and go to bed and know I was out of there in the morning! Bathroom walls and door gross-can they be wiped down every once in awhile?? I will not stay here again.
