WIfe and I w/ our traveling cats enjoyed stays here during our winter travels back and forth to FL. Had an issue w/ management(he thought we may have removed items from the room) but was resolved when ownership replace the manager. It's a comfortable new moderately priced hotel that accepts pets and is convenient to shops and restaurants. A bit off the highway but not inconviently so.

I spent 61 nights here and it quickly became "home" to me. The staff here, particularly Christina, Jane, Martha, and Jason the General Manager bent over backwards to accommodate my group ( I was a member of a student group taking a 9 week course in Richmond) in every manner possible. The rooms are comfortable and clean, and the kitchen is equipped nicely to save you money by cooking in and not having to eat out every night. The grill area is awesome and I utilized it every chance I had. There's nothing better then cooking on a grill in my opinion! (There are two propane grills here with no waiting!) The Candlewood Suites were so conducive to relaxation that I stayed here every other weekend and studied here instead of going home. At the end of the nine week class...I passed with a 97% and am really sorry to be leaving here. The staff here is almost like family to me now. All I can say is that the Candlewood Suites in Glen Allen is an awesome bargain, and concurrently a pleasant surprise. Thanks to Christina, Jane, Martha, and Jason for making the past nine weeks so great!

We stayed at this hotel this past weekend as we took the kids to Kings Dominion. Front desk staff was very polite. Nice location, only 15 minutes from Kings Dominion and just several minutes from various restaurants and shops. Nice size room. We had a 1 BR suite (queen bed). Fully equipped kichen. Microwave, full size fridge, stove, cooking utensils, tec. Full size sofa bed in the living area. Very large desk/kitchen table big enough for at least 5 people. Two 32 inch LCD tv's with DVD players. Suite was very clean. Very comfortable stay. We will be staying at this hotel next time we come back to King's Dominion. With my Federal Govt ID, we only paid $92/night. Very reasonable price to say the least. Highly recommended.

This was our first stay at a Candlewood Suites, and we were very pleased with the room and amenities. Our suite was basically a fully-equipped apartment with full kitchen, living room, bedroom, and bathroom. This would be a very comfortable place to stay for an extended work or vacation visit. The staff was very friendly and made sure we were aware of all of the available amenities. We used the Business Center (although the Internet was slow the day we were there) and the little snack store they have on-site. They had a large library of DVDs available for check out. There is a large mall a block away with a number of restaurants. The hotel provided a long list of nearby restaurants with addresses and the offer to provide directions to any one we wished to go to. So often we have found hotel staff who cannot give directions anywhere so this was a real plus! The bed was very comfortable. The hotel was clean and smoke-free (in the areas we frequented). I highly recommend this hotel.
