We stayed here several years ago in the two bedroom and enjoyed all the room for our family of 5; however, our second experience was awful. The smell in the room was almost unbearable, even after cracking the windows and using air freshener. We always take our own pillows and we had to wash them, along with all of our clothes (even if unused) when we got home because the smell permeated into everything. Will not be staying here again.

The hotel was contacted asking if they had 2 cribs for our twin boys. They gauranteed they did so I booked with them, upon arrival they only said they had 1 and that they didn’t say they had promised me them. After talking to manager I caught them in a lie, we had no choice but to stay. The room was full of dog hair and they said they could only clean once a week. They also allowed a drunk male to sit and drink outside the main office. We left early even though we couldn’t get a refund. If you care about your family don’t book with them.

We visited from out of town and are a family of 5. The stay was so good! The room very family friendly. I love that the king bedroom is seperate from bedroom and living room/ kitchen area. We visited Liberty Station and sea world both places were 10-15 min drive. Super nice location! Staff was also very friendly!

When we arrived at Candlewood Suites, I presented my identification and form of payment. After looking up my reservation, the front desk informed me that it had been canceled. I was very confused, as I had even called that morning to request an early check-in, and nothing was mentioned about any issue with my booking. The receptionist told me that they had tried to run my card, and it did not go through. However, since my reservation through Expedia clearly stated “Pay at property,” I assumed payment would be collected upon arrival not before. It’s very disappointing to have called earlier that same day, been told early check-in was available, and yet not been informed that my reservation was canceled. My family and I were in town for a special event and were suddenly left without a place to stay. Thankfully, we were able to find another hotel to accommodate us, but I would not recommend Candlewood Suites by IHG to anyone after this experience.

Property was not very clean, the people above us sounded like they were stampeding on the floor until late night and very early in the morning, the lights kept shutting off by themselves, there was construction, literally underneath my window with something that was banging the wall all day on the last day that I stayed you couldn’t be in the bathroom without the fan blaring it was connected to the light,I asked for another room they said that they were full, my grandson who just graduated From Marine Boot Camp came over we tried to get him a room, they said it was going to be $254, and only had one left, I looked online and they had one for $167, not very accommodating at all. Will not stay there again

I booked a two bedroom suite. I got one bedroom and a slightly partitioned area where a bed and dresser were. This was located directly off of the kitchenette and living room area and had ZERO privacy. I’m highly disappointed with the description of this suite. When booking two bedrooms, one would expect to have two bedrooms with doors and privacy! Depending on the guests staying there, it could be very uncomfortable and embarrassing. As it was, I disturbed my husband several times on our stay because I was literally walking by his bed to get a glass of water. Added to that, there was not one piece of information in the entire unit. No instructions for the TV, no writing paper, no local eateries, no building map… NOTHING! There was no breakfast, so we had to go to the store to get stuff to fix in the room, not that big of a deal, but I didn’t book the room for the kitchen, I booked it for the TWO BEDROOMS. Staff was friendly, the unit was clean, beds were miserably hard and we couldn’t get anything (literally) to come up on the television. There was one ice machine for the whole place, it was an elevator ride to the next floor, very inconvenient. We won’t book here again.

Room was ok. We liked the living room separate from bedroom.. liked having a kitchen.. the bed was awful, sagged in the center and one side really low to the ground. The elevator was "broken" 4 outta the 5 days we were there. We were on the 3rd floor and i have mobility issues. I would have asked for the 1st floor had i known we would be using the stairs. Had to carry all 6 bags down 3 flights of stairs at 7 in the morning of our checkout. Extremely frustrating for someone who has ankle surgery 6 months ago. Staff was friendly if you could ever find them, they were usually in back office

The staff was AMAZING. There was a problem with the elevators that happened to break down on our arrival AND our departure dates. However, the staff took care of us and made sure they helped to the best of their ability. It's not about having a problem. It's always about how they deal with it, and they did EXCELLENT!
