I had no problems with the hotel itself, but the surrounding area is definitely not safe. My first morning after checking in, I look outside to see some person strung out on some sort of substance on their knees in the grass by the road in front of the hotel screaming nonsense into the sky then curling up on the ground, over and over.

Nice place. Computer problems at Check-in. Not sure if it was the Front Desk Agent's inability or not. She kept saying, "This computer hates me."
Also, hot water issues. We had to notify the Front Desk of the problem. It was fixed in a timely manner.

Our stay was pleasant, however my husband and I thought that housekeeping was included not that we had to request it for the price we paid.

After a 13 hour drive and a heck of a scare after realizing the original hotel we book was a filthy cesspool, the clerk who greeted us at 9:30pm 5-19 was an absolute angel! She was friendly and welcoming and most definitely calmed my nerves. The rooms and property were clean, comfortable, quiet and safe! I’m sorry I didn’t catch the desk clerks name but she turned our entire trip right side up and I thank her! It was my first stay at a Candlewood Suites but not my last!

The hotel is currently remodeling the hotel, so have constant banging upstairs 24 hours per day.
Until the remodeling is complete, I would NOT stay in this hotel.

Came to visit my son in the Army. Was here for one night. Didnt see if anything worked or didnt work. It had almost a full kitchen. Didnt need to try any of it though. Price was right.

There was a problem with the billing. I had to call the hotel with questions about the bill that appeared on my credit card account. The general manager Oscar fixed the major problems but I still have a $5.34 charge on my bill that is unexplained. This took away what was otherwise a wonderful stay.

It was fairly clean and the WiFi worked reasonably well. It’s very run down and in need of major overhaul. Lampshades were broken, light fixtures in the bathroom were rusty, chair was threadbare, TV outdated and poor quality.

Extremely disappointing for a candlewood. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a location in need of improvement as much as this one. It did appear to be clean as well as they can clean it with how ruff they furniture and stuff is. The staff was friendly that was about the only plus.
