Pros:

Absolutely terrible. 3/4 seems to be “long-term” stays which you can tell . Got to my floor and whole entire floor reeked of cigarette smoke. Walked into my room and the same . Asked if this was non smoking and individual responded “supposed to be”. I said well maybe it’s the people that are sitting out front all smoking, flowing through the AC/ half the windows are open too and was told that doesn’t happen (saw it frequently ) . If I wasn’t there for a 36 hour trip I would’ve booked something else and got out of there . Went to go check out and the girl at the front desk was sleeping in the chair at 6am. Probably the worst hotel I’ve ever stayed at

They took a $50 deposit, which they promised to return. They still haven't returned it. The impression is spoiled. The hotel doesn't pull for $200

Overall a good stay at Candlewood Suites
Pros:

Front desk staff was friendly and helpful. Comfortable bed and room was overall clean. Lighting was not sufficient for the room. More lamps or brighter light bulbs would have made the stay more pleasurable.
