Parking gets full near the front entrance, but there's always a spot available. Room was clean, quiet and comfortable. Toilet didn't flush right in my room, place was a bit worn. Had a slight issue with getting a partial refund when having to leave a day early - front desk didn't understand the policy, but management did.

I stayed here on a busy Saturday night, and even with the hotel being packed, the service was excellent. The front desk staff—both at check-in and check-out—were very kind, friendly, and welcoming. My room was spotless and well maintained. Overall, a very pleasant stay.

Strange property. Staff was fine and the place was clean. However, prospective guests should understand that it caters to a clientele that differs from the average motel/hotel occupant. On our floor we smelled cigarette smoke, despite signs saying the building is a nonsmoking facility. Since there are cooking facilities in the rooms, cooking odors were also fairly strong in the hallway. There was a group on men having a sort of tailgate party in the back of a pickup truck in the parking lot. Latin music could be heard from time to time, including for a short time around 3 a.m. We wouldn’t have let the high ranking we saw on Expedia influence us to choose this Candlewood facility if we had understood that it has more of a residential character, rather than being a regular hotel/motel.

The room was very spacious and the kitchen was nice. The bed was very comfy! The water pressure was great in the shower. Full size bath products were installed which was awesome. The desk staff were friendly. I did find dust in the bedroom and bathroom exhaust fan. The outdoor porch area was small and jammed up. There was a very loud vehicle that had it’s bass blaring by our room that shook our room, gave me a headache, and made the dog bark.

I checked in at 3:15 and immediately upon entering my room, I noticed that it was warm. I set the thermostat to 67 and saw no change. Contacted the front desk and a technician was dispatched. He literally replace the unit 2 times. After initially working, the unit quit working properly. Needless to say, it was a very hot night. As I was leaving in the early morning, I spoke to the front desk clerk and he said he would let the manager know. Very disappointed!

Attended Washington Commanders Training Camp and this hotel was close by and inexpensive. The hotel had a kitchen, complete with cooktop, microwave, full fridge, dishwasher, comfortable queen bed and large bathroom. This hotel doesn't have a pool but does have fitness room and small store to purchase items to be cooked or snacks.
