Liked: Cleanliness
What I did NOT like is that thee was no hot water the night I stayed nor was there any hot water the next morning. I let the shower run for 20 minutes the night and for 20 minutes them morning and never had hot water. This was very disappointing as I had driven over 900 miles and wanted a hot shower. When I mentioned this to the front desk, I was told that in that room the shower controls were backward and hot was cold and cold was hot. This was a poor attempt to explain no hot water. If it was so, I should have been informed. However, it was NOT so, as I tried that tactic and still had no hot water. I should be given a full refund for the lackluster accomodations and for the staff lying to me. Very, very disappointed in Candlewood.

The carpet throughout the entire room was DISGUSTING and sticky. Our shoes were sticking to the floor. Every single chair in the room was stained and sticky. We reserved the king bedroom suite which consisted of a living room and kitchen area and a bedroom with a door. The ONLY source of air conditioning/heating was in the living room area. For the bedroom, they have cut a hole in the wall, placed approximately 1 foot by 1 foot fan in the wall between the living room and bedroom. It was 80 degrees when we arrived so I had to go out and purchase a fan just so we could get a bit of air flow. As I was checking out the next morning, the attendant asked about our stay. When I explained why I stated it was horrible, she said she would let the manager know and offered to give me IHG points for the inconvenience.
