First time staying at a Candlewood Suites. Associate that checked me in was very polite; asked if I wanted a lower or upper room. In the room, I like that they had a kitchen area. Room was clean and bed was comfortable. I would stay at a Candlewood Suites again.

We appreciated the dog walk area and waste station near the side door—very convenient to the stairs! Thank you for carpeting the stairs, also. (Our lab prefers carpet to hard surfaces.) The kitchenette had everything we needed to prepare the dogs’ meals and have snacks ourselves.

As I checked in the staff member Mr. Henry was checking someone else in. His presentation was of the charts if I didn't want to stay there but by listening to how well he presented to the customer in front of me. I felt more than welcome and was like \"yeah I am staying here\". Mr. Henry was Awesome. Then when I checked out the black gentlemen (sorry didn't get his name) at desk that night, he was very helpful when checking out. These two staff members were great.

Nice front desk… intrusive housekeepers

Jay was very pleasant at check-in. He made the process a breeze and was very nice and polite. Overall the experience was decent. However, the morning of checkout, housekeeping knocked on my door 3-4 times upon my checkout time. My checkout time wasn’t until 11am. I think the ladies wanted to come in and clean but felt as though they were trying to rush me along. I answered the door shortly after 8:30 for one lady informing her that I wasn’t ready yet and that checkout wasn’t until 11. She was sweet and apologized. An hour or so later someone else was knocking. Then there was another knock…. I found this to be a bit intrusive. I ended up checking out around 10:30am which I had originally planned. Front desk staff were great. Housekeeping staff wasn’t rude, persay, it was just the persistent manner of knocking that was annoying.

Stayed here for 15 days as I looked for a new house to relocate to the NC area. Staff is exceptional. Area and rooms are very clean. Located near plenty of stores. It is off a busy street so you do hear traffic and sirens. But that wasn’t an issue for me. Free laundry and gym make this place a great choice for short or long term stay. Small kitchen area with full refrigerator, pots, pans, dishes, utensils and a dishwasher. Oh also they have a cabinet in the lobby with items to borrow air fryer, crockpot and more. Definitely recommend this hotel if you are visiting the area.

The staff were extremely friendly and nice, all of them who worked there during our stay. Very great time staying there, only complains we’re, found 1 cockroach 1 night, and 1 day fire alarm went off firetruck came, someone said it happens regularly, but don’t know what that was about. Lots of places around to eat, easy parking. 10/10 would come here again

My Stay during Dreamville Fest Weekend

Upon arrival, I was charged $10 extra than the total. I wasn’t informed that if I needed extra towels/bedding that I would need to go to the front desk…I thought housekeeping was available daily. Also upon inspection of the room, there was a hole in the closet door which appears to be from someone opening the door to widely. The beds were a little too soft for my comfort which made it extremely difficult for me to sleep during the night. The room could’ve been a little more polished but honestly it wasn’t too bad at all.

This is not my first time at this location. My stay is always enjoyable. Some furniture could use some reupholstering but most things are in good condition and everything is fully functional. Bed and bathroom are clean, the rooms are spacious and the staff is friendly. The only reason I don't give 5 stars is that some surfaces could do with cleaning every once in a while. Things like drawers, clothing hooks and frames and other wall hung items.
I will definitely stay there again. Overall very satisfied.

The staff is friendly and pleasant to communicate with.
The full kitchen (with utensils, etc.) in the rooms and Walmart in working distance complement each other and compensate for missing convenient pedestrian ways to the nearby plaza with a few (minimalistic) restaurants. The rooms are very good, clean, and equipped with fully functional devices.

Not Again

Easy parking and friendly staff. Towels fine, soap and shampoo good.
However, everytime entering the room - WHEW! Overwhelming deodorant smell (smoking coverup?). And that mattress - soft like a hammock!! Yellow mildew on the bathroom walls. We had others in their party and they all agreed.
Sorry, but even though not a 5-star place, disappointed in the quality and cleanliness.

Good location & friendly staff!

The staff were all very friendly and did their best to make sure we had a great experience. The location is great. The only thing I would suggest is adding luggage stands to the rooms. Nice recliner with a tray in front of it but the tray stand should have been on wheels. It was very difficult to move to get in/out of the chair.

Good stay except for lack of hot water

The hotel is very nice and the rooms well appointed. The disapointment and reason for less than the highest rating is that there was no hot water in the morning. I tried the shower and it was not even lukewarm - waited 15 mins and tried again with no luck, so took a cold shower. However, about half an hour later it was hot. They probably don't have enough capacity for peak times. The area is OK, a couple of restaurants nearby, but no restaurant on-site.

Very nice hotel; affordable; has pretty much all you need except food service or a restaurant. There was a kitchenette in my room; however, I was just there for the weekend so cooking not really feasible. Everything was very clean. There is a need for another elevator as there is only one. It gets pretty busy in the morning so anticipate a long wait for the elevator during morning hours.

I've never stayed at a Candlewood Suites prior to this stay... we chose this hotel because it is pet-friendly and we were having to travel with our dog. I was concerned that our room would smell like other dogs had been in it (or even worse -- cats!) but room was clean and fresh with no clue that other animals had ever stayed there. Front desk attendant was helpful and friendly; bed was comfy; everything worked; loved the shampoo and soap dispensers (SO much better than those thousands of tiny plastic shampoo bottles that other hotels use). Overall was very pleased and will definitely use this chain again! Price was right, too. Goodbye Hampton -- Hello Candlewood Suites!
