Very good stay. The property is just starting to age, but is in good condition and was clean. Affordable price including the kitchenette. We stayed because they allow dogs, always appreciated!
The front desk staff are super friendly! The property is well taken care of and the sleep is very comfortable. Ive stayed at other hotels in the area and there's no comparison in all measurable areas of comfort.
Exceeded my expectations. For the most part clean some areas on floor a little dirty. Staff person who checked us in was very friendly and accommodating. I would recommend this hotel.

Everything was what I expected. While it didn’t bother me, it is fair to note that this location doesn’t have a pool. I thought it did, and then I checked in and realized it did not have one. This might make a difference for families. The building and rooms were clean. The kitchen was ready for use, grill area was great. The gym is small but pretty solid for a hotel. 10/10 highly recommend!
After staying at a number of Candlewoods i find eachone continues to go down hill. The hotels appears situp for a homeless shelter instead of a hotel. I was expecting more from stay there. I graded each Candlewood to the one i stayed in in Birmingham, Alabama, which is one of the best i have stayed in. I expecting every Candlewood to be the same.
The staff was awesome. However, the room wasn't ready, they were short staffed and there was underwear left from the last occupant. I believe I am owed some type of refund. A partial refund because the staff was gracious and tried their best. Angie was awesome
