Size of the room was nice- the bed was very comfortable and the bathroom was a decent size. When we 1st walked in the room had a smell and had to open up the window- the counter top still had crumbs on it and the bathroom tub had dirt on the bottom. I wasn’t very happy with my stay unfortunately.

The newly renovated candlewood is a pretty nice hotel. My room had a kitchen and a nice bathroom. It was a great experience. Rooms were clean didn't find anything gross or unusual. Next to the highway but you don't really hear it from the inside. Service was great and everyone seemed very friendly. The price to have your dog stay with you was very reasonable.
