Wa way over priced dirty hotel
Pros:

I have stayed at Candlewood suits in other locations and they have always been so nice and clean . This one was a shocker. We had to ask for another room the first was so dirty looked like they had not even cleaned it , second room slightly better but still dirty , dishes in the cabinet had food on them . Floor was gritty and you are only allowed one small towel per person. I also booked through booking.com given a price for which in the past was what I was charged. We always travel with a pet . This place charges 50 dollars a night for a pet .. I ended up paying what you would for a luxury hotel for this dump with no breakfast or benefits what so ever.

Cons:

Nothing and i would not pick it again. They are a rip off

Pros:

Polite check in person
He offered some great suggestions for food.
He was also funny... which is a very good thing

Cons:

Only issue... sounded like water running (not dripping) from the above floor, could only hear it in our bathroom... my daughter could hear it in her entire room.
Reported it to front desk the next morning
