Categories

Cleanliness
9.2
Multiple guests described the rooms and facility as very clean and well maintained; isolated issues reported (missing clean towels for one guest) but overall cleanliness was praised.
Service
9.2
Staff repeatedly described as friendly, welcoming and helpful (check-in, morning/evening staff). Service score tempered by serious billing/incidentals complaints where full amounts were charged at check-in for some guests.
Location
9.6
Consistently called convenient: close to the interstate, near many restaurants and planned activities; many guests highlighted location as a primary positive.
Room Quality
8.8
Rooms noted as lovely, spacious and with good in-room features, but several maintenance issues reported (shower diverter/head problems, shower head positioned too high, shower curtain causing water on floor, bathroom door scraping).
Amenities
8.2
Limited short-stay amenities for some guests: no breakfast offered and inconsistent coffee availability/coffee machines in rooms; property geared toward long-term stays which explains some omissions.
Value for Money
8
Value is generally acceptable given location and cleanliness, but perceptions weakened by very high one-night pet fee and unexpected/full billing at check-in for some guests.
Food and Beverage
7.8
Multiple guests noted no breakfast provided and lack of coffee for the next day; F&B offering is minimal which lowered this score.
Overall Experience
9.6
Majority of reviews are positive and many guests say they'd stay again or recommend the hotel; strong location and friendly staff outweigh amenity and billing issues for most reviewers, though some had significant negative experiences around fees and billing.

We enjoyed our stay. Location was very convenient for us.
Pros:

There was no breakfast provided. We were told by the staff that Candlewood Suites is geared towards long-term stays. We only stayed one night. (Not sure why folks staying more than one night wouldn't want to have a breakfast in the morning).

Cons:

The shower diverter valve, and the shower head, both needed some maintenance. And, the shower head was so high that my wife could not have reached it during a shower to adjust it.

Clean, friendly, High pet fee
Pros:

We liked the location off the highway, and the fact that it was near to grassy areas for our dog. The staff was very friendly both morning and evening. The room was clean and the facility was very nice.

Cons:

We found that $75 slipped in as a pet fee for one night stay was exorbitant. They explained that it was meant to be for a weeklong stay, but when you only stay one night, it is very very high. I can’t imagine people really do stay for a week as everyone was coming and going in the middle of Nebraska.
