I was very pleased with everything. The most impressive thing about our stay was the fact that the elevator broke at about 8:30pm the day we checked in. Our room was on the third floor and we were worried that we would have to carry all of our baggage down three flights of stairs when we checked out the next morning. Surprisingly they had it up and running by 7am! I would like to recognize the staff who worked diligently to make that happen: the general manager, Ms Nona, Zachary and Tario. That’s teamwork!

The room was perfect. The only thing that bothered me was the noise. Well after 10 pm people were running up and down the hallway, yelling, knocking on doors etc. This hotel is very nice, the staff is excellent, only issue to have is with some who stay there not being considerate of others.

The room was horrible the first thing how dirty it was. The cleaning staff left someone bowel movement in the toilet which is beyond disgusting. The room smelled like strong onions including the bedding. The shower was not clean hair and something else was on the shower floor and mold! There was not one towel or shower curtain in the room. The television didn’t work. The night staff was not label to fix and said no signal and will turn off in nine minutes. It was the front desk clerk first day and she was the only person there with no assistance took along time to check in which is not her fault. Old food was left in the refrigerator. I couldn’t believe this was Candlewood I have a video not pictures so can’t upload
