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.
