The elevator was not working, and we had to walk upstairs. We are both in ours 70's, the front desk receptionist asked if we would like some help, but no one showed up to help. When waking up to take showers there were roaches on the floor in the bathroom. Will not stay at a Candlewood Suites ever again.

there were roaches in the bath and on the wall in the room, a long black hair in the bath and a pot on the stovetop with crusted on food and the bed was hard as a rock. They do not offer breakfast at all and their stock of items to sell was very poor. That being said it was in a good area and it was quiet and staff were polite. However i expected more from an IHG hotel. There are multiple others in the area just as good and some better for much less money

The hotel setup was good, a little older building but fine. The cleanliness of this particular hotel was less than desirable. Dirty dishes in the cabinet, used water cup in the bathroom, and they give two towels, one fork, and one knife for s week long stay. The worse part was the roaches. I would recommend trying another location. It was a safe and convenient location.

Stale Bed and linens, broken bathroom sink
The room was 101 that was given to me. I feel like this is the room that hotel give persons that are only staying one night. These are the rooms that may not be maintained or cleaned regularly and are stale. 1) The bed and sheets smelled stale. 2) The bathroom tub was black from Dirt 3) The bathroom sink water didn’t go anywhere and the drainage handle was stuck and broken. 4) The hotel charged me a different more Expensive price at time of receiving receipt than what the hotel.commhad quoted me. I need to straighten out this matter. 5) They advertize fitness workout room but there are no weights and the fitness universal machine was broken and could not be used. The fitness room Needs to be updated. 6) Overall, I was not satisfied paying the amount paid for My stay at this Candlewood Hotel. Being an IGH hotel , I expected so much more with overall and as I outlined, It aooerared that the hotel need to be upgraded or kept up in so many areas. Thanks for allowing me to provide feedback.

This hotel has a roach problem. Two employees stayed at this location and had multiple roaches in the room. One picked up the phone to call the front desk and there was a roach where the receiver sits. We use Candlewood Suites a lot and other locations are very nice but this one needs to fix this problem.

Property water was shut off and several promises from management tgat it would be restored within 30 minutes. Several hours later no water, reached out and was told 4-5 hours. Couldn't use the washroom, shower or brush ny teeth. Had to check out and go to different hotel. I asked for a refund and was told to speak to Expedia. Spoke to Expedia, they advised they had to speak to the hotel Hotel refused to refund. Terrible experience. Lobby smelled like cigarettes and everything was murky. Room was clean but smelled like old mildew.

I didn’t like how dusty my bathroom shelves are. I didn’t like the bathroom cabinets had what I think was toothpaste. I had to ask for toilet paper. I did like the service and when I request fresh towels, toilet paper etc my request were met. I would recommend and I would stay again.

After traveling 4hrs and getting checked in, pulled back covers of the bed to find mounds of shaved pubic hairs. Unsafe, unsanitary, and just gross. It’s 11pm at night, and front desk(Talia) was very accommodating in moving me to another room. However the manager I’m duty kept retesting that the room had been cleaned almost insinuating that I planted the hair. I think a refund is in order for at least one night. But I doubt anything will come of this complaint. I have the pictures.

The cleaning staff and maintenance were great. The front lady at the front desk not so much. Our door did not lock. Maintenance went to fix it the first time it worked for a bit. Then it would not close again. When I went to talk to the front desk the lafy was rude and dismissive. It was a safety issue and it seemed like she did not care. I asked for management thry said he is not available until Monday. We checked in Friday afternoon. Management would not answer the phone. To give a refund or a solution to the problem. Maintenance was really nice he went up to fix the door again. And even said I am about to clock out but if it stops working again even if it's the middle of the night have the front desk call me and I will come fix it. Maintenance was more accommodating and helpful than the front desk or management.

Tried to check in at 1:00 but check in was at 3:00. Made us wait for over an hour before she got us a room. My husband was not feeling good and waiting in the lobby was very uncomfortable.
