“Basic Accomodations Nothing More”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 November 2011
1
person found this review helpful

My wife and I just spent the last four nights here as due to a storm we lost power. The rooms are ok with no real amenities to speak of. TV's are small and old. Dresser and night table were chipped and needed refinishing. One morning there was no hot water though it was fixed within a few hours. I did not find the hotel to be very clean. Hallways were dirty. Housekeeping service is only provided weekly and for clean towels one had to bring them to the front desk for an exchange. Front desk staff was not very accomodating and it was understaffed as the hotel was booked to capacity because of the storm and lack of available hotel rooms. If not for the storm and situation, I would rate the hotel "poor" instead of "average".

“Great Stay!”

I used my Priority Club points to stay here, somewhat leery because of the previous bad reviews. I was pleasantly surprised with the cleanliness of the place and the size of the rooms. I don't know why previous reviewers complained about this hotel. It's perfect for an extended stay!

“What a pleasant experience.”

My husband and I had a wedding to attend and needed a place that was dog friendly. We always like to travel with her. This property was very suitable for our needs. The staff was very friendly, the rooms very clean and a nice, quiet stay. I would recommend this place and would consider going back again.

“Certainly not as bad as some reviews make it out to be..”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 19 August 2011

It's not theRritz but it certainly is not as bad as some of the reviews claim. The staff at the front desk were very accommodating with letting us check in early and for a pet friendly hotel, the rooms were clean and our room had no pet odor or stains. It was a convenient location and easy access to 91 and 15. It was a good value for a last minue business trip without breaking the bank.

“So far so great!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 July 2011

We are having guests from overseas visit us, and we wanted a nice place for them to stay, that has a full kitchen and comforts of home away from home. We made a reservation here on one day's notice, after being disgusted and disappointed by our check-in experience at Four Points in Meriden. They were able to give us a 4-person suite, with full kitchen, all the amenities, at one day's notice. They did not mess up the reservation, the desk service was given with a smile and understanding, and so far everything seems wonderful. In addition, room prices are much cheaper than Four Points - almost too good to be true.. Let's keep our fingers crossed after the horrible experience we had at Four Points, and having to cancel our reservation there.

We have also had another guest stay here when visiting from out of town, and they also had only good things to say about Candlewood. So far we are very pleased with the atmosphere, service, cleanliness, prices, many amenities and convenience.

Thank you Candlewood!
