Riom was great, that's why we chose it for the 2nd time this month. The elevator always seems to be broken, though. It was broken then fixed last time & then broken again this time (wasn't fixed by the time we left).

Had a nice stay at Candlewood. A couple of small snafus, but they worked out. It was clean, convenient and not to far out from my family. Kitchen was nice. Shopping and restaurants close by. The housekeeping staff was excellent! Overall it was a nice stay!
