“Not what we expected but it worked”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 January 2011
1
person found this review helpful

We were just here for one night but since we were bringing our baby and dog, we were expecting an actual suite - one with a separate sleeping area and living space. Unfortunately, we got a studio suite which meant we had to go to bed when the baby went to bed - at 7pm! Oh well. The room was nice enough and clean. There were no special accommodations for the dog, but that was fine. There were bushes and some grass patches in front to relieve the dog so that worked fine. My only compliant is that the lobby smelled very perfumy and the bed was not comfortable for me. My husband had no issue though so I guess that's subjective. Th location is semi-industrial but walking distance to several restaurants including McDonalds and Starbucks.

“Good value ... if you can sleep on a billiard table”

We selected this hotel because of its location and because they have a pet-friendly policy. The amenities, while definitely not upscale, were fine for our needs. This hotel caters to business people, and our expectations were correctly aligned. All would have been fine had we actually been able to get a decent night's sleep. Unfortunately, that was not possible, due to the super-firm mattress. In all, I probably got about 2 hours of sleep, if that. If you like a really firm mattress, then this is the place for you. If not, then I suggest that you find other accommodations.

“Nice Extended Stay Hotel”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 November 2010

I was there in Candlewood for an extended stay of 3 months for a business purpose. It was an ok type of experience, they had all type of facilities for extended stay like utensils, cookware, microwave, hot plate, a good Gym etc.
The only problem is cleaning part of the rooms they only send the house keeping every week untill unless requested. Also if tried to cook indian food, the smoke disturbs everyone around :)
But in the end I would say it is definitely worth for the money.

“it sure worth the money”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 September 2010

Well, I just wanted to thank all the front office staff for their cooperation and the friendly atmosphere they showed me during our stay there for over 55 days which never happened before in a hotel but I started to get used to that hotel there and wanted to go back again whenever I’m in California (funny that I started to plan for some of my friends so they can be there as well)

Well it’s a cozy hotel with a nice room specially that I booked the 2 rooms deal with the full kitchen facilities along with the BBQ facilities at the hotel end.

It was clean, ppl were friendly, even guests were friendly that’s why my wife felt safe in a way and what else I can ask for right with as little money as I paid for advance purchase booking along with our young son

It can be the perfect home away from home for anyone who will be in Orange County for whatever reasons

Thank you Serge and thank all your fellow workers for our memorable stay and special hi from the young son of mine to you 

“Bad service, rooms not cleaned properly”

We stayed for the weekend while visiting some friends in the area. We tought this hotel sounded good online but it was the opposite once we checked in. The service is ridiculous! the staff couldn't direct me to restaurants near by. The room had a musty smell and the staff did not celan properly. We found food in the fridge and trash was not taken out.
