The room was very big, with comfortable beds, and a big bathroom, too. Overall, it was a pleasant surprise. However, the lobby of the hotel was not as impressive it just lacked some style.

Positives: It was quite a surprise how nice this hotel actually was when we got there.

Negatives: I needed to be directed to the breakfast area, because I couldn't find it.

Hotel is good for business travelers staying for at least a week or more at a time. There is a full kitchenette in each room. Hotel gym is pretty bad, but you can pay $5 and use another local facility. Easy access onto I94.

Positives: Continental breakfast and entire kitchenette in each room.

Negatives: Staff was never at the front desk, very bad gym.

Positives: I like that the room had a full kitchen.

Negatives: Nothing.

Nice hotel behind a Cracker Barrel. The kitchenette was nice as was the bathroom. The only negative was the glasses were dirty and the beds were uncomfortable.

Positives: The kitchenette was nice.

The first room they gave us smelled terrible and the second one was just as bad. It wasn't until the third room did we feel like it was manageable. Showers had a dark residue on the bottoms and the office chair had rips in it. Everywhere you look it seemed like it very poor craftsmanship. Hard to believe the hotel is in such bad shape since it was built in 2004. I would not stay here again.

Positives: Easy to find location.

Negatives: Rooms smelled bathrooms very dirty, rough craftsmanship in the rooms, poor heating and cooling.

Negatives: Trash bags out by the elevator that weren't removed.

This hotel is perfect for families or for business travelers going to the lake Michigan area. It has a very convenient location and the room was fairly quiet. The full kitchen was nice to have.

Positives: Very convenient location, friendly staff.

Negatives: Bathrooms could use updating.

We were shocked to find that there were no housekeeping services provided, and the location was quite rural. Very disappointing.

Negatives: No housekeeping services.

Everything about my stay at the candlewood suites was good. The bed was awfully comfortable and having nice plump pillows was a bonus. I would definitely stay with them again.

Positives: The small but well stock pantry was great.

Negatives: Someone not being on front desk upon arrival.

Nice staff. Great amenities.

Negatives: Nothing.

The staff was very friendly. There was a DVD and free movies to rent along with a pantry that you could purchase food from for a low price. St. Joseph beach was very close (by car) and great for small children. This is a great place for family or business traveler.

Positives: The staff was very friendly. There was a DVD and free movies to rent along with a "pantry" that you could purchase food from for a low price.

Negatives: Our room did smell like smoke and was supposed to be nonsmoking

Very nice and convenient to both business and pleasure activities in southwestern Michigan. Built back from highway, so very quiet and peaceful.

Positives: Very ample kitchen area in the suite. Some unexpected "perks" provided.

Negatives: The Jacuzzi was down at the time of our stay (part on order).

It was wonderful with lots of amenities. It was extremely clean and comfortable. Staff was friendly. It was located in a prime location.

Positives: I liked the cupboard and the amenities.

Negatives: The smell of the sauna.

Very Spartan. Proximity to lake Michigan certainly sets the price not the accommodations. The breakfast bar was very adequate, but not fancy.

Positives: Very clean. Roomy. Comfortable.

Negatives: Very Spartan feeling.

The manager greeting me upon check in was very kind and did an excellent job explaining what was available in the hotel. He was kind to my child (which some hotels' staff will not even acknowledge). The location was near the interstate, many restaurants and near several beaches. I would definitely stay here again. The price was excellent!

Positives: It felt like home. The suite was great.

Negatives: It had no swimming pool. Only a hot tub.
