My first time staying here at this hotel in Louisville. There is no free breakfast but all the rooms have a mini kitchen such as full size fridge, microwave, sink, 2 burner stovetop and a dishwasher. I went to Target, about 5 minutes away, my first of 8 days and got some groceries. Be advised that this hotel is not within walking distance to any restaurants. I knew this ahead of time which is why I picked this one with a kitchen. I did not see a king size bed option but the queen was enough for me traveling alone. The room is a little bit outdated but everything was functional. The free washing machines and dryers made it easy to clean my clothes. There is a small gym with a couple treadmills, couple bike machines and some free weight dumbbells. What I enjoyed the most was the wifi. When I travel for an extended period of time away from family I like to bring my PS5 with me. I checked the internet speed several times and my average speeds were 10 ping, 30Mbps DL and 25Mbps UL. Constant somewhat fast speeds are rarity in most hotels. Would definitely stay here again.

Stayed here for Louder than Life. It was a super quick drive to get to the concert. You can even take a route through town and avoid the highway (where all concert traffic is routed). The card machine was down during our stay, so staff had to let you into your room each time you returned. That wasn't the most convenient, but obviously not a usual thing. The property itself was good for what our needs were. The laundy was free to use. No ice machine other than the one in the rooms. That wasnt convenient for tailgating, but we made it work. The windows in the rooms could be opened, which was nice for checking the temperature. We didnt use the kitchen to cook since we weren't there during most of our time, but it seemed good. Full size fridge with icemaker in room. The beds wasnt the most comfortable I'm told by my friends, but i was honestly too tired to notice once i got to bed. Shower didnt have the best pressure, but its a hotel so unlimited hot water makes up for that. It was quiet. No loud people during our stay, even when the concert got canceled for a day and people were stuck in the rooms. There is an outside gazebo for grilling, but we were here during Helene, so we didnt use it.

Louder than Life

We were there for Louder than Life Music Festival. First I would like to say the desk ladies the weekend of our stay deserve a raise. The room key maker that makes your room card key was broke our whole stay. That being said, the ladies at the desk definitely got their workout in steps, because they had to walk you to your room to let you in your room. It was also when Hurricane Helene hit. They were so nice eventhough you could see how exhausted the poor women were. The staff kept plugging along and not once complained to us, eventhough you could see they were getting tired. I never really saw management during our time there to help assist th3se ladies that were getting ran to death, but the staff waited hand and foot to make sure our stay was good. The bathroom had a bit of a cigarrette smell to it, when you turned the bathroom fan on it. That wasn't anything some air feeshner didnt fix though. I did not bother those poor ladies with a little bit of a cigarette smell from the bathroom. If I ever come to Lousiville, I would stay here again solely based on how great the 2 poor ladies worked so hard. Anything we needed, they accommodated and never complained. Give those girls a raise or bonus, or make them managers because they ran that hotel during our 5 night stay there. Thank you ladies so much for being so kind.

Broken Key Card Machine/Limited Parking

Key card machine was down and there was limited parking at the front. I could only use the front door but had to park in the back and had to walk around the building every time. There wasn’t anywhere to even pull up to to at least drop off my stuff. Staff had to let you into your room anytime you left. Especially not ideal if you’re traveling alone. They never checked ID’s so you could have gone into anyone’s room. I got unlucky and had a room on the first floor right outside the gym/laundry room. It was pretty noisy all weekend. Hopefully the keycard issue sin’t a problem for future visitors, but I don’t think I would stay here again.

Couldn’t tell ya anything so they’re getting full one stars across the board. This company cancelled my reservation without a call a day and a half before my stay. Which was a stay I booked months in advance. I had to select a bnb that was almost $2000 more. Which needs to be compensated due to the Candlewood Suites inability to manage their operation.

Disliked: Staff & service

I reserved a room here 6 months prior to arriving for a music festival. They over-booked rooms and then cancelled several reservations 3 weeks prior to the stay without notification of cancellation. Asked to speak to manager, her first words were "They didn't tell you the reservation was cancelled?" so clearly there was an expectation that Hotels.com would deal with the fallout from their over-booking issue. Asked if there were other Candlewoods that they could help me reserve - especially since there were no available hotels in the area with a large music festival in town - and told no "We're not affiliated with those locations". Front desk staff said they were turning guests away all day. So in the end we were left to fend for ourselves. No follow through to make sure their guests are informed of changes to their reservations or taken care of in the event of a problem. Do not recommend staying here. And quite frankly now questioning the use of Hotels.com for future reservations given the lack of communication between the two parties.
