Yeh room was dirty and sheets were stained. Informed staff and was told his I booked through Expedia there was nothing they could do but give me new blankets. The tv in the room wasn’t working and there was food left over in the room from previous people. For me to pay 700.00 for 2 nights and the state of the room I was very disappointed.

The room was filthy. There was hair all over the place. There was still candy wrappers on the floor from the previous guests. The towels were dirty, the comforters all had stains on them. The staff were dressed so unprofessionally. There was really nothing enjoyable about this place. I will NOT be going here again!

Breakfast bar can use a few more items like pancakes and French toast. Walls are thin so you hear kids running up and down the hallway. Plus the kids upstairs jumping was loud and annoying

Pros: Nice new and clean hotel with convenient location and good staff.

Cons: Demand pricing was crazy high. No hot water in evening or in morning. Bathroom light is on motion sensor and doesn’t recognize movement when in the shower so goes dark constantly.

BEWARE, DO NOT stay here! Was staying at Candlewood Suites in Bellefonte for my daughter’s basketball tournament. Should have known from my check in this was not going to end well. Check in was at 3pm, arrived at 3:40pm and was given my room. My room was not cleaned, beds were unmade and went back to lobby to get a cleaned room. When I said the beds were unmade the front desk replied back, well, is it clean? I said no of course it’s not clean and was told they only have two housekeepers and are working overtime, I need to wait! Waited well over an hour in the lobby for a room. During our stay the girls from the basketball team went swimming in the hotel’s pool, all the girls who swam came home with a doctor diagnoses of folliculitis, some completely covered some sporadic. Some girls had to go back to the doctor (two in one week) due to styes on their eyes and swimmers ear! Also, during our stay there was some suspicious activity with homeless looking people there, looking like crack heads and falling asleep during daylight on the chairs outside of the hotel. They were also in the lobby cuddling a kitten in a weird way! Corporate (IHG) has been called by the team’s parents, department of health, BBB, hotels.com, the police, and Candlewood management. Candlewoods management is denying and lying to corporate about their pool and they are not cooperating. Long story short, don’t waste your time here!

All the kids in our group ended up with a rash from their pool. At one point we saw a sock floating in the pool. The trash cans were constantly overflowing. There was no toilet paper in the bathroom in the lobby. Saw towels outside someone's room for 2 days that were not picked up. They had one person working for a very busy weekend which I believe the hotel was sold out.

My daughter and her whole basketball team that stayed here picked up folliculitis from the indoor pool. My daughter has a stye in her eye, bumps all over her body and swimmers ear from the bacteria in the pool. I am so disappointed in how the staff managed and cleaned the hotel. For a new hotel it was extremely dirty.

Pool was contaminated with bacteria. Entire basketball team contracted folliculitis and swimmers ear from the bacteria in the pool. Unsanitary conditions.

Check-in was very delayed due to limited cleaning staff. The front desk staff was overwhelmed and apologetic. The hotel was at capacity due to multiple sports tournaments in the State College area. The room set up was convenient for a family and the hotel itself is new. Throughout the hotel there were overflowing trash cans, lobby bathrooms were clogged and never had the trash removed or paper towels replaced. It was clear that the hotel was understaffed in terms of maintenance and upkeep. During our stay, we encountered a very rude front desk attendant. She refused to offer us a late check-out (even though the check-in was two hours delayed). She came out to yell at our group while we were eating in the lobby and continued to be rude to other customers. The following morning, the new front desk attendant offered us a late check-out. Our daughter and her entire team used the pool. Upon our arrival home, our daughter had red sores on her feet and her eyes were swollen. Within the following 24 hours, her entire body was covered in the red bumps. The entire team that stayed in the hotel and used the pool was covered in the rash. They were diagnosed with folliculitis (staph) from the pool. This hotel has a great location and the room set up is family friendly. Unfortunately, they need more staff and better upkeep.
