Terrible service
Pros:

The room smell if mold or wetness. There was hair in multiple ares of the bathroom, including in the towels. When we went to tell the worker. He didn’t even want to give us his name.

Pros:

This is the room we selected. There were 6 of us. When we arrived they did not have this room. They do NOT have this room at all. They will want you to email them a copy of your drivers license. Which I refused to do. They knocked on our door saying they did not put us in the room we were in. (How did we get a key to the room if that was the case?) We were harassed all the way to the pool and the front desk lady would not leave us alone. She stood over us at the pool then because I refused to email my DL closed the pool on us early. Her kids were in the hot tub unattended not allowing hotel guest to get in. Actually made my 18 year old get out of it because her kids were in it.
No ice buckets for ice. Found hair stuck to the sink under used soap.

Candlewood Suites – Stafford (11230 Southwest Fwy, Houston, TX)
Stay: Friday noon – Monday morning (3 nights)

• No Housekeeping: Not once during my entire stay did housekeeping service my room. Trash piled up and towels went unchanged. I had to repeatedly go to the front desk to ask for clean towels, which is unacceptable for a multi-night stay. By Sunday night the trash can was overflowing, and since no one came, I requested assistance. The manager guy handed me a trash bag and expected me to replace it myself. (Yes, really.) I ended up placing the full garbage bag outside my door to avoid attracting bugs – and it’s a good thing, because I had already spotted roaches in my room earlier.

• Dirty Bedding at Check-In: On arrival, I discovered a stained comforter on the bed. I reported it immediately. Management/front desk lady’s response was baffling: she acknowledged the stain but actually asked if I “still wanted to keep it” on the bed. Of course I didn’t! When I pulled back the sheets, I found small food crumbs inside the blanket, meaning the bedding hadn’t been properly cleaned.
By the end of this stay, I felt more stressed than relaxed. Basic amenities (like a clean room, fresh towels, working TV, & trash removal were nonexistent.

Pros:

Elevator was not working and i had to switch from 2nd floor room with 2 beds to a 1st room with 1 bed, where i could constantly here people getting in and out of cars. They need to make customers aware before we arrive so we can make better arrangements.

Pros:

The rooms where not bad and it was very cheap to stay. The staff was nice.
The BAD.The pool was locked the hole time. And the patio was a wreck none of the appliances worked fire pit, BBq pit ext. It was very noisy most people that were staying there where living there. It has a lot of late night traffic people fight and a lot of slamming doors. I would not stay again.

Pros:

The place was good. But the staff was extremely cheap. No utensils to use, provided 1 small shower soap a day. No towels. I stayed for a full week and no one cleaned the room. Getting fresh towels, toilet paper and tissue was a big issue. One of the lady in the front desk that worn glasses was marvelous and kind of lenient.

Pros:

The garbage was full when I checked into the room. There was a strange smell. And there were small bugs crawling around on the floor. The shampoo holder was falling apart. The fridge was wobbly. The hotel could be decent with some improvements.

Pros:

The rooms smelled like smoke and some rooms smelled moldy. They don't do room service everyday so you need to take your dirty towels to them for them to exchange your towels. Also there was a lot of hair on the clean towels. Won't be staying here again.

Pros:

They stay was okay. There was lots of stomping in the rooms above ours. Two different days people kept knocking on our doors, which was very annoying cps being one of the days. There were people that were just hanging around inside the lobby area that potentially lived at the hotel.

Pros:

The pictures really isn’t the same as in person , No breakfast was served when it clearly said Free Breakfast in the morning , Windows in the room were not insulated well and didn’t close properly, it allowed to much highway noise from the cars passing by and it was really hard to sleep
The back door was wipe open all night and felt unsafe that people just walked in unexpectedly and nobody in the front cared to close it
