Reviewer: Not provided on Fri 19 Jun 2009 rated 10 out of 10.

The hotel was beautifully decorated, and very clean. It had a sense of having never been used. Very nice!I loved the kitchen. I was able to cook pasta! The conference table was very convenient, and the beds were confortable. Oh! I loved that they offered enough towels. I had a great stay. My friends loved it also and congratulated me on the geat choice of hotel I picked.

Positives: I liked that the room had its own little kitchen. It was awesome.

Negatives: sometimes the front desk person was not there, and there was not bell!

Negatives: Can be a little challenging to locate for first time traveler to the area.

I've stayed here before and like this hotel. The hair blower didn't work from day one. Otherwise, all was good and the TV is a treat. The bed is very comfortable. It's always been quiet when we have been there.

Positives: TV

Negatives: Front desk clerk not bright, and pet policy expensive.

This is a great hotel for the money. Rooms are neat although I found the bed too small for me. The location is perfect particularly if you want to catch a plane at Washington Dulles airport.

Positives: Location and price.

Negatives: Bed too small, no breakfast.

We loved our room because it had a kitchen with a full size fridge and microwave which is great when traveling with children. Unfortunately none of the rooms have more than 1 bed! Definitely geared more for business travelers or couples, but nice nonetheless.

Positives: Kitchen in the room.

Negatives: Only had 1 bed for 4 people.

This hotel is an excellent value for price. The public areas and room were clean and modern. It comes with a fitness room, free use of laundry machines and a pantry shop that works on the honor system. My only complaint was that the hallway and rooms stink of cooking smell from other guests cooking in the evenings when I came home from work each evening -- the rooms are efficiencies that come with a little kitchen for cooking. In the hotel's defense, this cooking smell seems to be common to hotels of this type that have kitchens in guest rooms and I've encountered the same problem during stays at other hotels with similar amenities.

Positives: Excellent value for price e.g., free laundry machines.

Negatives: Hallway stinks of people's cooking - permeates room.

Negatives: Drab.

I will definitely stay at this hotel again. I have never been so comfortable on a business trip. It was enough like home that the business part of the trip went quickly and I couldn't wait to come "home" each day, but enough like a hotel that I felt as if I were "getting away".

Positives: Very accommodating - home away from home.

Negatives: Lock boxes instead of personal greeting upon late arrival.

The Candlewood is adequate, clean enough, but there are no restaurants within walking distance or retail shops. The elevators should be in the middle of the building not all the way at one end. Or a second set should be at the other end of the building.

Positives: Location to my show at Dulles Expo Center.

Negatives: The carpet was being changed with no regard to safety for guests.

Reviewer: Not provided on Mon 21 Jul 2008 rated 6 out of 10.

Like a little home away from home.

Positives: The kitchenette. The free 1st drink and bag of popcorn in the micro was a very nice touch.

Negatives: Dangerous nature of locating the hotel entrance while driving a rental car. At night nearly impossible.

Reviewer: Not provided on Mon 21 Jul 2008 rated 8 out of 10.

Very nice amenities in room. Staff seemed a little over whelmed and had to pick up blankets pillows etc. from front desk. Overall, though a nice place to stay fro the price with good highway access, close restaurants and shopping.

Positives: Nice in room kitchen.

Negatives: Single bed, only without upgrade.

I was very satisfied with my stay. The bed was comfortable. The television included a DVD player and VCR, and the front desk checks out movies. The honor-system 24-hour snack room was convenient and affordable. Free continental breakfast would have been nice, but the snack room did not have the "How long has this been sitting out?" Factor that so many free breakfasts at inexpensive hotels do. No 24-hour front desk, but they managed my after-hours check-in by putting my room key into a safe near the front lobby. The area was great: very safe, convenient to the airport, and a reasonable driving distance from a Metro park-and-ride. It is a suburban area, so it is much less stressful to get around, find restaurants, grocery stores, and gas stations, and park than it is closer to downtown Washington, DC.

Positives: Honor-system snack room was convenient and affordable.

Negatives: Elevator and some other public spaces seemed poorly-maintained and run-down.

The hotel really needs a sign out at the street that it is on at the entrance to the parking lot. You don't know where the hotel is until you have already passed it and have to go back around the block again. The only sign is on the building which is hard to see when the hotel is an L shape.

Positives: Friendly staff.

Negatives: There wasn't any signage for the property by the entrance to the parking lot.

This was a great place to stay. Clean, friendly staff (from front desk to housekeepers), lots of amenities like book, CD, DVD's available for guests. The free laundry and little store on site also very nice. Room was clean, comfortable, fairly well stocked kitchen. Great place.

Positives: Staff was great, hotel clean. Great amenities.

Negatives: Location is not all that great.

Reviewer: Not provided on Sun 11 May 2008 rated 10 out of 10.

Good staff tries hard to accommodate, perfect for long term stays.

Positives: Clean, free laundry service, wow.

Negatives: While this is just minutes from Washington Dulles hotel, there is no shuttle service and you must taxi, must have a car for this hotel.
