Categories

Cleanliness
5
Multiple guests reported poor cleanliness: dog odor, visible hairs on toilet, room 'did not feel clean', and a dirty laundry area.
Service
9.5
Staff accommodated guests by moving rooms when needed and were helpful in-room changes; however, there were notes about slow check-in and at least one unresolved deposit/refund issue.
Location
10
Consistently praised: many nearby shops, restaurants and supermarkets, convenient to the freeway and walking distance to grocery stores.
Room Quality
7.5
Mixed: comfortable bed noted, but rooms reported as small (especially for 4 people or handicap rooms), wrong bed sizes on reservation, bathtub step hazard and low shower head.
Amenities
9
Mini-kitchen and full-size fridge are strong positives for longer stays; limited pantry, a single elevator and a poorly maintained laundry area were called out, and parking is charged.
Value for Money
6
Multiple complaints that the price is high for the offering; additional nightly parking fee viewed as unacceptable given rates charged.
Food and Beverage
9
No complimentary breakfast and pantry was scarce (negative), but abundant nearby dining options were repeatedly noted as offsetting the lack of onsite F&B.
Overall Experience
8.8
Good location and comfortable bed contributed positively, and staff responsiveness (room change) helped; however, cleanliness and value issues tempered the overall stay.

I would not stay there again.
Pros:

We usually really like Candlewood suites but this one was subpar.

Cons:

Our room had terrible dog odor and was not clean. Moved us to a different room and it was a bit better. The laundry facility was dirty and needed repairs. Having to pay extra for parking in this area was unacceptable. Should just be included in the price especially for the rates charged. $$$

Pros:

Solo traveler. The place is nice. It would be a great value if I was staying more than 2 nights or staying with someone. Mini kitchen and full size fridge is good for longer stays. Walking distance to grocery stores.

Cons:

Paying $10 per night for parking on top of the room rate.
