I recently returned to a property where I have stayed previously--the Candlewood Suites in the Research Triangle Park (Raleigh-Durham), NC. Once again, everything was great---wonderful staff, very comfortable room, and perfect location. I was welcomed by folks at the front desk. In addition, they presented me with a welcome gift; although it was nothing fancy---(water, chex mix, and a candy bar)---, I regarded it as they valued my business! That's what makes this property stand out above others in that same area (and other places where I travel). I will be back!

The Service is always hospitable and the rooms clean and accomodating. I love having the convenience of the Kitchen and DVD player.

The place is quiet, has spacious rooms with kitchens, and the location is great - easy off the interstate and close to Durham's biggest mall area. Laundry is free and the gym's decent. The only issue I have with the hotel is that housekeeping only cleans the rooms once a week, definitely not enough. The rooms are rather dated, ditto the furniture but they're still acceptable.

I have been staying here when i am in town for many years. Johnathan and Michelle (hope the are spelled correctly) have made me feel wanted and missed at every return, The rest of the staff is great. I am always unhappy when i come to town and have to stay somewhere else.
