Overall a nice place to stay although the front of property by highway is overgrown but I believe that would be the city’s responsibility. Clean, quiet and close to shopping.

Verify before you book😥
The room was very clean. My issue was that the elevator didn’t work on coming down from the 2nd floor room 208 we had to call the front desk every time we needed to go back down or we had to take the stairs.Very bad on my knees😥 I booked this hotel because on the website there was a grilling area with a grill. I arrived on Friday Oct 11, 2024 with 8 ribeyes and potatoes to grill for my son birthday and family weekend and the clerk at the front desk informed me that the grill didn’t work. But when we were leaving they were replacing the grill with a new one.

constant beep from a fire closet next to our room for 2 days, our entire stay. Not sure the staff has access to that room to fix it - could be fire department only.

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.
