Candlewood Suites

Reviewer: Not provided on Wed 28 May 2008 rated 10 out of 10.

I would definitely recommend this hotel--it is no frills but whether you are staying overnight or for a long stay the rooms are really nice.

Positives: Nice rooms--very roomy.

Negatives: Desk called to see if we were going to check out even though it hadn't passed time to checkout.

Great. One of the nicest rooms I've ever had.

Positives: Beautiful room at an excellent price.

Negatives: A pool would be nice, but it was not really setup for kids.

Upon entering we were greeted warmly. They were going through some renovations to make guests better provided for. The room was beautiful with complete kitchen with microwave popcorn ready to pop. We had a choice of pillow firmness which I have never had before. Upon leaving there was a note in our key holder that we were invited to choose a can of pop "on the house". The venting machines were on "the honor system whereby you write your room number and it would later be charged to you. Upon arriving at home we discovered our phone charger had been left. We called and they put it aside for our daughter in Rockford to pick up.

Positives: Beautiful room with many things available in room such as DVD and VHS players and tapes.

Negatives: No problems at all.

Overall the design and location of the hotel were excellent. Rooms are spacious and bed was very comfortable. Only improvement would be to have a business center with internet access for those who didn't bring their laptops to access the wi fi internet access at the hotel.

Positives: Very friendly staff.

Negatives: Curtains didn't fully close.

I was disappointed because I was told that if I checked in early enough, I might get a room with two beds because I was staying with my three sons. I was told if not, I would at least get a rollaway bed. When I arrived, only three hours after check-in, there were no rooms available with two beds and there were no rollaway beds either (They said that they weren't clean from the day before.) I was a bit annoyed because now we had to go to Wal-Mart and buy sleeping bags to accommodate all of us. Needless to say. Very disappointed and not a good deal after all, when I added in the sleeping bag prices (which I had at home, had I known I would need them; Lesson learned!).

Positives: Staff was helpful; room was well-equipped for a long or short stay.

Negatives: Not a good hotel for more than 2 people; room was small with only one small bed.

It was a good stay at Candlewood. The bed was very good but we had an issue with the parking. After we came back from our event that we went to, there was no parking and we were directed to park in a handicapped spot. There were not enough spots for the visitors and some people took up 2-4 spots with their vehicles.

Positives: Awesome bed.

Negatives: Parking.

Slightly better than average hotel in terms of cleanliness. Had kitchenette. Few other amenities.

Positives: Snack room.

Negatives: Staff did not clean up my room after 1st nights stay.

Satisfactory.

Positives: Previous stays at this chain had been enjoyable.

Negatives: Lack of ice available upon check in.

ANA, at the front desk was very sweet. They even call your room after 10-15 minutes after you get in to see if you have any questions. There were dishes and silverware in the cabinets and a collection of movies you could borrow from. A full size fridge and a dishwasher would be a great thing for people that have to stay on business for more than a few days! Free guest laundry also! It was excellent!

Positives: It was like getting my own apartment for one night!

Negatives: It was all good!

Reviewer: Not provided on Thu 29 Mar 2007 rated 5 out of 10.

It was okay, but not worth the price. The sheets being wrinkled and "used" looking was very unsettling. But I made do with placing towels on the bed.

Positives: Size of room was great, spec. With sofa to sit on.

Negatives: Sheets did not look clean/fresh - wrinkled, stain on blanket.

My room was nice. It had more channels to pick from than most of the hotels I have stayed at in the Rockford area. However, the carpet was very spotted and looked dirty. Public areas were not marked well so it was hard to find them. All in all it was a nice stay and may use it again when visiting my son.

Positives: It was very comfortable.

Negatives: Room did not have guide to TV channels, had to guess and channel surf.

Reviewer: Not provided on Tue 03 Oct 2006 rated 9 out of 10.

It was okay. Good for the price we paid.

Positives: Location was good and easy to get to.

Negatives: The bedspread was all sticky and bath was not super clean.

Reviewer: Not provided on Tue 26 Sep 2006 rated 9 out of 10.

I enjoyed my stay, great place for the price I got it at. I would go back there if I ever needed to.

Positives: Comfortable Beds.

Negatives: Nothing.

We never have stayed at a Candle wood Suites before. It would be a great place to stay on a long trip away from home. The room and kitchenette make it feel more like being at home than a hotel room. Of the perks listed, we enjoyed the "Candle wood Pantry". You could pick up breakfast and snack items right there for grocery store prices. You pay on the honor system or can charge to your room. Very nice. Could also do your own laundry for free. Could be helpful during a long stay. They advertised a video library. Have to look over the counter at the front desk. Didn't like the set up, and not much choice. The front desk is a little slow, so try to beat the rush for checkout in the morning. Very quiet, few kids. Worth a second look.

Positives: Candle wood Pantry.

Negatives: Video library.

Having no maid service is OK if you are staying a couple of days but I expected that they would check the room and replace such expendables as tissue and coffee packets. Otherwise everything was very comfortable.

Positives: Quiet location and no hallway noise.

Negatives: No maid service on a daily basis.

Nice studio type hotel located near other hotels. Great place to stay if you do not want to eat out.

Positives: It is a studio hotel thus has full kitchen including dishes!

Negatives: Staff was difficult to find when we needed help.

This hotel was perfect for our one-night stay. We arrived late (11pm) but had no trouble getting checked in. The room was clean, spacious and well-equipped. Our room came with a sofa/hide-a-bed but most rooms do not have this. We were pleasantly surprised to find a bag of microwave popcorn in the microwave.

Positives: Room was spacious, clean and well equipped.

Negatives: No pool.

Overall good experience like the grill in the back and the people were friendly and helpful.

Positives: The location.

Negatives: One bed would like to see two beds per unit.

Reviewer: Not provided on Wed 07 Jun 2006 rated 8 out of 10.

Conveniently located. Larger studio room, large bathroom - nice with a family. Kitchen has full refrigerator w/ice maker, dishwasher, cook top and microwave. Public areas are up to date, our room needed some updating, everything was well worn. Room was not unclean, but not spotless either. Would stay there again, but would like to see the updates made and cleaning to be more through.

Positives: Location, friendliness, breakfast - lobby, public areas nice.

Negatives: Needs more through cleaning of the guest rooms and updating to the rooms.

Candlewood was clean, easy to get to, friendly staff well worth the money spent.

Positives: Nice staff breakfast was good touch.

Negatives: Couch had iron burn marks on it in the room.
