“Home away from Home”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 June 2011
1
person found this review helpful

Staying at the Candlewood Suites in Merrillville, Indiana transformed a business trip into a vacation. The hotel staff treats guests as though they were part of an extended family. The facilities are clean and spacious and the hotel staff are professional, courteous and helpful. All members of the staff, from the hotel manager, Khalid, the front desk staff, the maintenance engineer and the housekeeping staff extended themselves to make our lengthy stay an extremely enjoyable one. Although we are looking forward to returning home after a month working in the Merrillville, Indiana area, we are sorry to say goodbye to our new friends at the Candlewood Suites.

The hotel is also close to numerous fine restaurants and shopping. A major upscale mall is only a few moments away.

We extend our thanks to all of the members of the hotel staff for making our trip so comfortable.

Room Tip: Ask for a room on the Eastern side of the hotel.

“They thought of everything”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 7 April 2010
1
person found this review helpful

Super comfortable room, they thought of every little touch. There was a bag of popcorn and a bowl in the microwave, plenty of multi-purpose dishes in the cupboards, great soaps/shampoo, free current magazines, and a great bed and pillows. Usually only the higher-end places have pillow menus, but we didn't even use this service because the ones they provided were so plush. The place is very new (about 1 year old, in March 2010) and extremely clean. They have a great little convenience store where we got juice and snacks.

“I'll stay there again!!!!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 October 2009

person found this review helpful

When I arrived at the Candlewood Suites, I had no idea what I was in for. When I got to our room, I was shocked beyond belief; the room was clean, and it had things in it that I had never experienced before. Namely, cooktop, kitchen cabinets, dishwasher, full size frig, sink, flat screen TV, table that could be used to eat a meal on, or take care of business papers, and the beds were queen sized. I was so happy to stay there, and I will stay there again whenever I'm visiting Chicago.

“Nice Place, but room set-up and furniture needs work.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 August 2009

people found this review helpful

This hotel provides everything that you would expect from an extended day place. It is also fairly new so everything works as it should and is quite clean. What I did not like about it are just 2 design issues: The bed is almost flush with the wall on one side (I believe a person commented on this already). This made it very difficult to get out of the bed from that side. Obviously, if you are alone this will not be a problem. Also the adjustable height desk chair was too low for the desk, which made me sit either low or lower to work on my laptop. Quite a bit annoying and uncomfortable. Somewhat surprising too that they did not serve breakfast although there was free coffee in the room.

“Do not stay here!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 August 2009
1
person found this review helpful

We had reserved a non=smoking room, but got a smoking room. The bed was within 6 inches of the HVAC and continually blew on us. We ended up sleeping 3 in the other bed to avoid the blowing. the room appliances did not working. Lastly, the parking lot was closed for 2 days for paving, which required us to parking in a muddy adjoining lot. Nothing like tromping through the pooring rain and mud with luggage in hand.

Hotel staff didn't seem to be concerned.
