“Clean and Comfortable Hotel in a Good Location”

My daughter goes to UM Columbia and I've made frequent visits to the area. In the past, I've stayed in places that were in what looked to be "shady" areas of town or hotels whose rooms were extremely shabby. Candlewood was clean and located in a convenient area. The room was nice and spacious and had everything I needed. I got a very good deal on price, too. The only thing that could've been better was some type of breakfast offering, but they did have a store where you could purchase everything from frozen dinners to candy bars. The stuff was a little pricey, but nice to have in case you're in a pinch and can't go out. I will definitely stay there next time I go to Columbia.

“Wonderful!!”

This will be the only motel that I will be staying at in the future in Columbia. It is very clean, the rooms are VERY comfy, the staff is very friendly. I couldn't ask for anything more!

“perfect”

close to college

“Best hotel stay in Columbia so far”

Good hotel, was close to everything. Hotel Staff was extremely helpful and friendly. Was a good stay - would stay here again.

“Queen Suite”

Had a smoking room with no ash trays. Strange to me. Other than that it was very nice and roomy.

“Doubt we will be back”

They forgot to clean our room, didn't go to room upon checking in. Arrived back at 9pm or so and found our room had not been cleaned since the last guest. However the clerk and Expedia took care of my refund since we chose to stay elsewhere for the night. It was credited to my account within 48 hours. Appreciate it.

“Not Clean”

We recently were traveling on Game Weekend and this was our only option. Never Take a smoking room! Although the staff was overly pleasant they were compensating for a well-used business hotel. Not clean, a bug crawling up the wall (guess they had just exterminated). Anyway I would drive farther rather than stay here EVER again.

“Not good.”

This hotel is extremely dated. Walls were PAPER thin. I could hear word for word the conversations and the television in the neighboring room. The rooms stink. There are several smoking rooms in the hotel, and it shows. Lobby is dingy. Kitchenette in the rooms looks to be from 30 years ago. To sum it up, ICK. This definitely is going to be placed on my "no stay" list.

“Want ants stay here!”

Upon arrival, the front entrance looked more like a side entrance. Lobby was small and had the appearance of a Motel. Room smelled terrible. Ants were all over the room (bedside table, walls, kitchen). Walls are paper thin. I could hear the people above me until 1am in the morning as they walked from one end of the room to the other, over and over again. Dont even think about staying here unless you are desparate. I would have been better off in my tent.
