My stay at Candlewood Suites had some highlights, like an overall friendly staff and modern room designs. However, I encountered significant cleanliness issues, particularly with the kitchen and bathroom areas, which dampened my experience. The location was convenient for accessing local attractions, but the noise from other guests and pets was sometimes disruptive, affecting my rest.

The room had a modern design, but there were cleanliness concerns, especially regarding maintenance issues like the damaged cabinetry and the unpleasant odors. The layout included a kitchenette, which is a plus for longer stays.

While I liked the idea of the kitchenette and laundry facilities, the elevator situation was less than ideal, being slow and overworked.
