Staff is top notch, especially Shannon, however elevator broken for 6 out of 10 days we stayed here. Pool heater broken entire stay. Pool had lots of leaves everyday, there was an older gentleman who cleaned the pool and it wasn’t really his job. So we appreciate him. Rooms could use some updating, sofa was old and stained on the upholstery. Rooms are sparsely furnished. Conveniently located to anything you may need.

Staff were very polite, friendly and helpful. The area is nice, felt safe at all times. Didn't use the pool, so no comment there. Downsides: elevator was out the entire time we stayed. They did call me 2 dsys before checkin to let me know. It was an inconvenience due to my mobility and ballance issues. Unfortunately I was not able to locate another property for the days we were here. They put us on the 2nd floor, so that was vetter than the 3rd I guess. I did pay for a 1 bedroom suite, but they put me in a studio (lower cost room, no refunds either). Considering the oropwas built in 2020, they have had constant elevator issues vased on comments from others over the past 12-18 months. Slept good, and enjoyed my time in Clearwater. Not sure if I eill stay here again though, due to the sketch elevator.

The front desk staff was nice, but the hotel was a disaster. The elevator was broken for our entire stay, which was 6 days, and it had been broken a while according to the front desk. The air conditioner didn't work in the first 3 rooms we were assigned. We didn't get the larger suite we paid for because no air conditioners were working, but no refund was given either. The hotel is old and very dated and the pictures on here are not accurate. I would not stay here again and I do not recommend anyone stay at this hotel.

Was notified the elevator was out 2 days before our stay. Heard from staff it was out for months. We brought plenty of luggage and food for our 12 night stay. Many trips up the stairs to our 2nd floor room. Had to change rooms after second day due to a leaky AC in the ceiling. No offers of partial refund. Don't care about pets. Was greeted in the hall once by two aggressive pit bulls. Easy parking. Free laundry. Walk to Publix, CVS and restaurants.

Despite the elevator being broken, Candlewood was a wonderful place to stay. It’s close to everything and the staff was wonderful! Carter helped me with my bags when I got there and when I checked out. I love they had a kitchenette in the room with it being stocked so well. Also my lock on my door ran out of batteries so maintenance was quick to respond to fix it. I thought it was the key that had trouble but after 2 more keys were made it definitely was not the key cards. Everyone was very attentive and quick to respond.

So the elevator was down for the whole 5 days I stayed there and the main problem for me was the fact that the doors slam so loud here and if you think you can sleep in at all think again because the doors will shake the walls. The fridge in my room was also ridiculously noisy . For a hotel room though it has way more than expected, a full size fridge, a little stove top, some dishes etc . I was in the suite room . The tv was a joke though super small and away from the bed at a weird angle .

On arrival we were unsure of the lobby as it’s tucked into a shopping centre. The elevator was broken and I had to carry my luggage up 2 flights of stairs. There was a dirty tissue on top of the bathroom vanity, we were woken up at 2am to what sounded like an ice maker(?) which frightened my 6 year old. We won’t stay again.

Broken elevator, unethical practices

We were contacted via phone about 15 minutes prior to our arrival & told the elevator was not working & they could not move us to a lower level. Because it was so late in the day, we felt it would be too difficult to book another hotel for our stay.

Upon arrival, it appeared that the elevator had need non-functional for quite some time & they indicated that they weren’t given an exact date for repairs to be completed. They did offer help getting our luggage to the 3rd floor for us. We are in our late 60s & early 70s so appreciated the help. Our stay was to be for 4 nights.

The next morning we checked again about when the elevator would be repaired & we’re told again they had no date for the repairs to be complete. We decided to cancel the remainder of our reservation & got a refund.

fix the disconnect between hotels.com & the hotels

As already discussed with the previous agent all through the night, Hotels.com show that they had availability then we went to check in after reserving the room. They had no available rooms whatsoever and it’s hard for me to even write this properly because my cousin and I have stayed at the candlewood before and we’re very familiar with the staff and they’ve always been great to us, howeverthey have we’re so overbooked and they felt so bad because we ended up having to sleep in the car actually reading didn’t get any sleep. We just stayed in the car. We’re exhausted for cranky. We don’t feel well and once again there was a disconnect between what Hotels.com showed and what the actual hotel had available that would be the third time in the past three weeks that that has happened to us and it’s not fun and it’s very frustrating.

First Stay at Candlewood Suites - King Suite

We had a pleasant 4-night stay at Candlewood Suites. While this property is not full-service and doesn’t offer daily housekeeping, the staff makes morning rounds to check if anything is needed. Our King Suite was spacious and comfortable, featuring a fully equipped kitchen, a walk-in closet, and a large desk with a nook. The TV had over 200 channels, including HBO, ESPN, and international options, perfect for late-night binging.

The hotel offers a Lending Locker at the front desk, where you can borrow items like beach towels, books, and blenders. The location is excellent, with several shops, food chains, and banks nearby, including a 5-minute walk to Walgreens, Publix and a few bars. This convenience sets it apart from other lodging options in Clearwater/Safety Harbor.

However, be aware that the elevator is currently out of order due to a lightning strike. If you have a lot of luggage or are traveling with children and a stroller, this could be an inconvenience in the 3-story property.
