“Candlewood Suites, Lake Forest, CA”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 December 2011

The Hotel is under renovation. There was noise. The water pipes busted in the hall and the evening before we left there was a flood in the bathroom of the unit above us on the 3rd floor and it came through the ceiling in our bathroom and flooded the floor. It was the first hotel I ever stayed at that did not have daily maid service. They said they change the bedding and the towels on the day you arrive and if you want clean bedding and towels you have to take the dirty ones to the front desk for exchange. There were no other amenitives other than a laundry room and snack machine area. For what we paid for the room I felt it was unacceptable.

Dear sal3521,

Thank you for your review, Let me first apologize that you were affected when the water line burst.
That was unfortunate and unforeseen. We are an extended stay property. Meaning most of our guest are there for long periods of time, therefore we only offer weekly housekeeping. If you should require daily housekeeping you are able to request it at the front desk. I do hope that you will have the chance to stay with us again after we have completed our renovations.

Thank you
Katie J

“Def use signs for Do Not Disturb”

I love this hotel, absolutely, but just a tip, if you are planning on sleeping in and don't want to be disturbed, be sure to put the sign on the outside of the door. That way staff will know not to knock while you're nursing a hangover :P

Room Tip: The standard suites are all I have ever booked, and they're all i've ever needed! They are s...

“Good value hotel”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 24 November 2011

My son and I stayed here overnight. 1 bdr suite had a private bedroom, large sitting area with a double sofa bed and a full kitchen. The room was clean. The staff friendly and helpful. Not many shops around. Great place for value!

Room Tip: Go for the 1 bedroom suites

“My kind of place!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 November 2011

I stayed here recently for a business trip. High speed internet was FREE - how refreshing! The location for ME was great, although I must say there are not a lot of restaurants, shopping, etc. within walking distance (I was car-less). The room was VERY clean and the kitchenette was a bonus. There is free coffee 24/7 in the pantry, as well as a large selection of food items available for purchase either on the honor system or by charging the items to your room. Also included are free washers and dryers and a small exercise room.
The staff were very friendly, helpful, and accommodating. I will be staying there again in the near future.

“impressive”

i recently stayed here for 3 nights. This was my first stay at a all suite extended stay hotel. I was really impressed that everything I would need would be there. I mean everything, even for the fully equipped kitchen. As another hotel employee, this place was top notch. I would highly recommend this place.. Staff was excellent. good job. thanks. Very well kept property!!
