Categories

Cleanliness
7.6
Generally reported as clean in many reviews ("propre", "clean"), though a few reports note poor cleaning or smells in some rooms and worn carpeting.
Service
7.8
Staff described as nice in several reviews, but multiple mentions of unwelcoming or terse front-desk interactions and shuttle communication issues reduce the score slightly.
Location
7.3
Convenient for airport proximity and family visits, but several guests note a somewhat remote/dark or less desirable neighborhood and limited parking.
Room Quality
8.7
Rooms frequently praised as spacious with kitchenettes, modern and comfortable; isolated reports of old furniture, damaged fixtures, or low shower pressure are minor compared to overall positives.
Amenities
8.3
Good in-room amenities (kitchenette, microwave/fridge, laundry, Wi‑Fi) praised, though shuttle availability and breakfast absence were criticized by some guests.
Value for Money
7.1
Mixed value: some find the stay reasonable, but surprise pet fees, high on-site prices and shuttle/Uber costs lowered perceived value for several guests.
Food and Beverage
6.8
Multiple mentions of no breakfast available, overpriced/opaque canteen pricing and limited F&B options led to below-average sentiment here.
Overall Experience
8
Overall stay impressions are positive—clean, comfortable, kitchenette-equipped rooms and easy check-in—tempered by neighborhood, shuttle and occasional service/fee issues.

Overall good, clean place to stay.
Pros:

Free parking, quiet neighborhood outside of the city, nice staff.

The bathroom towel rack was peeling off the wall. It didn’t affect functioning, but was an eyesore.

Pros:

The rooms were spacious and self sufficient with the kitchen layout. The overall stay at the candlewood was good.

Cons:

The location was somewhat dark in the neighborhood and the women at the front desk weren't welcoming.

Cons:

Location is not in the best neighborhood. Minimal parking in front of the building. Advertised to have 24/7 airport shuttle available which is why this hotel was our choice. On arrival was told the shuttle only ran every hour starting at 4-8am and then again at 5 pm. When we went down to get the shuttle at 430 am we’re told the next was not until 6 am and we had to take an uber. Rooms were somewhat clean but smelled. Smell was worse when the air conditioner kicked on. Would not stay here again in the future.

Pros:

I loved my room !

Cons:

The carpet as you’re walking to your room needs to be redone or torn up. It messed of the aesthetics of the actual room. I was afraid of what the room looked like because of the carrot leading into your room. The carpet is coming up I tripped over it a few times waking back and fourth.

Not pet friendly
Pros:

Room was nice and clean

Cons:

Total rip off/bait and switch - completely non-transparent about pricing, fees and costs. They say they're "pet friendly", but when we arrived they charged us 150 USD extra (on top of and more than our room rate we paid!!) for our small dog. Completely unapologetic and surprise high fee. Not cool. Also, no prices on anything for sale in the canteen - $8 for a Coke, charged at checkout!! They should say they charge high surprise fees for pets (it was not friendly). Also, staff when we checked out was terse and made it obvious she didn't want to print my receipt.
