Overall for a one night, it was pretty great! King size bed was really comfy and soft. The room was really clean and spacious, also loved that the pull out couch had its own lil private space in the room. The staff who helped us was really helpful, kind and patient with our last min check in room. Next time we plan a trip there, definitely gonna get a room there again!!

The floor was damp and it was very sticky and humid in the room. The handles in the bathroom were noticeably rusted. I found a chunk of food on the curtains. Not what I expected for what I paid.

As good as it gets
We selected Candlewood because they have recliners in the room. It didn't work but i was able to repair it. The night manager made every effort to accomodate us. The hotel was being remodeled. I believe given the remodel the room and facility were clean as they could be. It was not as clean as it should have been. Given the state of the industry, this is what i expect for a room for less than 200 per night.

Room was good, the hotel was under some remodeling? But not my room. Staff was very nice and helpful and friendly. Unfortunately, there was only one coffee to make in the room & the complimentary coffee in lobby was terrible, brown muddy color. Outside sitting areas in the back were good

There was no parking on the property. Room was in bad shape. Wasn’t worth the $200 they charged at all but I had to get because every other hotel was booked. Won’t ever stay there again
