Wow, this is the WORST hotel I have ever stayed at period. The room was very dirty, carpets stained. The sheets had dried blood on them, pillows had hairs from previous guests, carpets stained, lights falling off the ceiling, small holes in the wall. I am shocked that a division of Holiday Inn hotels allows this to be operated. It looked more like a hotel that should be rented by the hour,not by the week. Look at the phoots, read others reviews then really decide if you would ever stay here by yourself, or even worse with your family. Dont let their low rates lure you in, you will regret it. I regret staying here even after the fact I got a free night for complaining, I wish in hinsight I would have left and PAID for a room at another hotel in the area.

I will warn you ahead of time - this is a LONG review, but the entire US needs to know what happened to us at the Candlewood Suites - if you don't value your belongings, stay here.
My son and I got a decently priced room here from Priceline (we'll never do this again at anything less than a 3star level, by the way). We came down here for a father/son trip to Disneyland Resort the weekend of August 13-15.
I should have known this was going to be bad from the moment we stepped up to the desk, but it was late, we were tired and just wanted a room to sleep in. Now, I know that Priceline only guarantees double occupancy - but the Candlewood Suites thought is was OK for me and my son to share a Queen bed. No rollaway. No pullout. No hide-a-bed. He's 6' tall and I am 6'2" tall. This wasn't a great nights sleep, but the hotel was quiet that night. I was told when we checked in that 'All they had were Queen Studios - nothing else.' It turns out that after visiting the front desk the next morning, they did have a 1 Bedroom Suite with a Hide-A-Bed. It was $33 extra a night which I argued about since I had not been told the truth last night and she went ahead and ran me keys for the 1 Bedroom.
Saturday was uneventful. At one point we couldn't get into the outside door closest to our room but it started working the next day. By this night we figured out that this wasn't just a hotel, it was a residence for some people.
Sunday started off great. We spent the day at Disneyland Resort and got tired mid-day and came back to the room around 4pm to take a cat-nap. We left our room at 8pm to head back to the DL Resort to watch World of Color. After the park closed at 11pm (Cali Adventure) we headed to the Denny's on Katella. We left at 12:45am to head back to Candlewood Suites stopping at the AM/PM around the corner to fill up the rental car. (nice Nissan Cube we got from Avis BTW for $12/day)
I walked in the door to our LOCKED room to find a empty stop on my desk where my Apple 17" Macbook Pro laptop was plugged in sitting on the desk. It was gone. My Digital Camera and HD Camcorder were also missing. Also missing were a pile of SDHC cards, USB Drives, and 1TB Lacie Hard Drive. Now, I am one of those way too trusting people that was naive enough to think that if i left my hotel locked at 8pm, it would be safe and secure. There was no sign of forced entry into my room. This hotel has no official staff on duty after 11pm. After leaving 3 voice messages at the front desk for the night management I decided to go to the office. The door was answered by Alex the night manager who had just listened to my messages according to him. We proceeded to tell him what had happened, and while he was apologetic, he was unwilling to contact the hotel manager in the night after $4000 of a guests merchandise had been stolen.
I asked Alex to check the key computer log and he told my son and I that there had been 6 keys issued to my room. I had 2 keys. So obviously someone on the hotel staff had issued 4 other keys to someone - not us.
Alex's story changed over the course of the rest of conveying to him my frustration from 6 to 4 to 2 keys. We had a Garden Grove Police Officer come over a take a police report from us. The officer told me that Alex wasn't being very cooperative he apparently was unable to show the office the key logs and the security footage for the hotel. Basically, my son and I had to be on a plane in 3 hours back home to Oregon - the officer recommended to just head home and file a claim with the hotel.
Candlewood Suites is owned by IHG - they also own Holiday Inns, Crowne Plaza and more. After filing a report with IHG Complaint I was told the process would take 3 weeks. In 2 weeks I got a letter from IHG telling me there's nothing more they could do and if I wanted to pursue it any further, to contact the hotel. After calling and speaking to a rep at IHG after getting the letter, I was told that "IHG is not responsible - contact my personal insurance company or the hotel (who is no help - they wont return any phone calls and the general manger is never available).
At the Candlewood Suites, my belongings were not safe and secure in my hotel room that I paid money for. The chain that hotel is part of claims NO RESPONSIBILITY and now I am out $1000 since I have to claim this on homeowners insurance. We come to Anaheim at least 5 times a year for trips to the Disneyland Resort or to attend the NAMM show in January - we will never stay here again, nor would I recommend anyone stay here for business or pleasure. The rooms at Candlewood Suites Garden Grove are NOT SAFE.

I booked this on Hotwire for $54/night and it was great value for money. We were very happy with our large clean modern room, comfy bed and HBO. Everything was in immaculate condition.
However, if I were going to Disney again I would bite the bullet & pay more to stay at least 2 blocks closer. Candlewood is not geared around Disney, the staff lacked knowledge about Disney and the area lacks the lovely touristy atmosphere & amenities that you get closer to Disney. A shuttle runs to Disney from the Holiday Inn Express next door to Candlewood. Tickets are $6 return if you buy from Cwood but $4 return if you buy from Holiday Inn.

I booked this hotel on priority club points for a one night stay. We reserved a non-smoking room with a queen sized bed. We arrived late (1230AM) and were told the room was non-smoking. When we got to the room, the smell of cigarette smoke was overpowering. The bed was a double that sagged and was very uncomfortable for two people. We were very dissappointed in the room and won't stay at a Candlewood Suites ever again.
