Problems with the Bill
There was a problem with the billing. I had to call the hotel with questions about the bill that appeared on my credit card account. The general manager Oscar fixed the major problems but I still have a $5.34 charge on my bill that is unexplained. This took away what was otherwise a wonderful stay.

Thank you!
After a 13 hour drive and a heck of a scare after realizing the original hotel we book was a filthy cesspool, the clerk who greeted us at 9:30pm 5-19 was an absolute angel! She was friendly and welcoming and most definitely calmed my nerves. The rooms and property were clean, comfortable, quiet and safe! I’m sorry I didn’t catch the desk clerks name but she turned our entire trip right side up and I thank her! It was my first stay at a Candlewood Suites but not my last!

The property was undergoing renovation. I wished we had known this before booking. I am sure the renovations are necessary and will make a nicer property. However, we drove nearly 10 hours to get to this property and had less than an ideal experience due to the renovations.

Not a good experience
Walked in and noticed that the area was being renovated. The beds were relatively comfortable. The bathroom smelled a bit of mildew. There were only two working dim lights. The kitchen light didn’t work at all. No breakfast or any snacks available at all. Had to go get extra wash clothes and towels. The worst was that when we got back from going out to have breakfast, we had been locked out of our room and hour before the check out time. All of our luggage was still in the room. No one ever showed up at the front desk, so the housekeeper let us in. Luckily, we made it to the airport on time. One good thing was that the gal at the desk was terrific when she was there.

This was disappointing. Our room had an odor. The person who checked us in barely spoke two words. No explanation of where coffee was, etc. the back door was propped open several times. I had to hunt down clean towels on day 2 even though we had been out of the room all day it was not cleaned. Our keys stopped working on day 2 and because the front desk was mainly unattended people were left outside unable to even get in the lobby early in the morning. This hotel needs a major update, furniture was peeling and scratched. Super disappointing for an IHG property. Also I did not get any ihg points for my stay.
