“Nice for extended stays.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 August 2011

person found this review helpful

I spent several months at this candlewood suites. Good area and lots to do close by. Staff was accomodating and helpful. I only had one true issue where someone would prop open back door allowing ppl without a key to come inside. I also had my credit card used on a website and products shipped to LA. This hotel is the only time I had used this new card and they made an impression of card for any incidentals. Maybe they had nothing to do with it but too much of a coincidence for me.

“Could be a little cleaner”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 July 2011

-'s - The hotel carpet could have been a little cleaner on all floors, both in the rooms and hallways. They accept pets, but the pet area ran out of poop bags and were not replaced during my entire 2 1/2 week stay. Housekeeping only cleans the rooms on specific days - not often enough - and if you need clean towels you have to take the soiled ones to the front desk before they replace them. They are not specific or clear enough on when, and how much your credit card will be charged. The charges come totally by surprise.

+'s - It's free to wash and dry your clothes, you need only purchase detergent and fabric softener. They accept pets, up to 2 and the cost is not that expensive. The concession/laundry/exercise area is very convenient, espcially when you run out of stuff, though the prices are a bit inflated. Complimentary coffee is an added perk. Parking is easy with plenty spaces.

“The name matches the smell”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 27 July 2011
1
person found this review helpful

The Candlewood Suites in Garden Grove California is one of those hotels that you start off by trying to convince yourself your choice wasn't that bad. At $100/per night you try to say its a good value. It isn't. I asked for a king suite. I got a double queen room. I asked for non-smoking. I got a room that smelled of something between a chemical mix of cleaner spray and rancid cigarette smoke. The clerk at the front desk put on a good show of disgust and distain, mid her throaty smokers cough. But at least they were kind enough to say that my credit card wouldn't be charged. I departed with a lie, stating that I may stay there sometime in the future. Sorry Candlewood. Your hotel sucks. That was my short and vivid experience.

Room Tip: A full hotel leaves only the worst rooms available

“Nice Place, Nice Price”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 June 2011

This hotel is only about five minutes from Disneyland. It has a kitchen which makes it convenient and you can save money on food if you wish not to eat out. There is a convienent store next to the hotel. Place in nice, felt safe and easy access to the freeway.
I saved about 50% compared to hotels next to Disneyland. The bed is confortable and one of the best shower water presure. I would consider this hotel for future stays.

“It works for business”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 2 June 2011

Like: very friendly and helpful staff, convenient to highways but not noisy or busy, nice neighborhood, cupboard - quick snack and not overly pricy, free laundry facility, free fitness room with good (not superb) equipment, free videos to use with new ones added each time I've stayed, always plenty of convenient, off-street parking, free Internet.

Could improve: odd smell in hallways and rooms, when I left the bathmat on the floor there were bugs crawling all over it when I came back to the room one night, otherwise the entire hotel is VERY clean, Internet is not very fast.
