Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is conveniently located near various amenities and transportation options, making it a great choice for travelers. The rooms are well-equipped for cooking purposes, but some maintenance issues were noted. The location offers easy access to many attractions, though certain inconveniences were observed. The dining experience, while satisfactory, left room for improvement. Overall, the hotel provides decent value for money.
My stay at the hotel was a bit of a mixed bag. The rooms were spacious and clean, which was great, but unfortunately, the air conditioning wasn't working properly, and that made it very uncomfortable, especially in the hot weather. On the bright side, the Holiday Inn Express next door was a convenient option.
The Candlewood Suites offered comfortable and spacious rooms with nice amenities, yet the cleanliness could have been better. The hotel's service was top-notch, with an inviting and accommodating staff. While the location was convenient for reaching various places quickly, the surroundings lacked diverse dining options. Overall, the stay provided good value for the money.
