We travel with our three beagles and have found that for the most part the hotels that will accept the 5 of us without a ridiculous pet fee are on the lower end of the hotel food chain. I'm so glad we found this Candlewood Suites. The pet fee was small and for how our stay went it was more than worth it.
We had a queen smoking room on the 3rd floor. The room was spacious and clean. It smelled good! It was the first time in a long time that I walked into a smoking room and it didn't reek of stale smoke. There was no hallway noise. We were in a room across from a stairwell and never heard any noises throughout the night. There was a DVD player in the room and the TV had a large assortment of channels.
The parking lot is well lit and the surrounding neighborhood is nice. It might be a bit difficult to navigate to this hotel without a GPS because it is tucked deep in a business area of town. We walked our dogs around the area and passed other couples also out enjoying the neighborhood. Lots of grassy areas!
They also have free washers and dryers (you provide or buy the soap) which i did not use, but thought it was still a pretty cool thing. They have a "cupboard area" with sundries, snacks, and beverages that are all reasonably priced (50 cents for a can soda, $1 for pastries). It operates on an "honors" system; you can either fill out a card to charge items to your room or just drop cash in the slot.
There were a few minor things that someone more prissy than we are might have freaked out about. There was a dime sized stain on the curtain in the room and the elevator is located at one end of the hotel and the end we were on only had stairs. We couldn't use both laptops at once because they had ethernet instead of Wi-Fi. You have a fridge in your room and have to turn on the icemaker if you want ice. Again, to me these things are no big deal but if you are super duper picky...
Overall we had a really good experience with this Candlewood Suites and would stay there again when we are back this way. We plan on staying with the chain again on this trip.
