The people were nice and friendly. The room and hotel were clean. It was quiet.
I did notice, I was in an accessible room but the peep hole was too high even for me standing 5'2" and the soap/shampoo/conditioner were too high to use the pump easily.

The motel was off the main streets so there was a lot less traffic. The staff was amazing--so helpful and friendly. They went out of their way to make us feel at home. The housekeepers did a great job keeping the whole place very clean. All in all, it was a great experience and we will be back!

We had a very pleasant evening and morning at the Candlewood. Exactly what we needed: microwave to heat up dinner and coffee in the morning in the room. Countertops were nice in bathroom and kitchenette, big refrigerator and dishwasher. Better than average some cotton sheets! Staff very friendly and heloful.

Thank you Dereck and Shane and Dorcas you were great friendly. I stayed here for 8 days for a travelling job and I enjoyed everyday being in there the place was clean and more importantly the staffs are nice and friendly which makes all the difference in the world being far away from home so that helps a lot.
