“I broke down on the interstate and I was lucky enough to have this Candlewood near me. I notified them that I was coming but I was going to be walking. The temps were below zero and we had a snow storm going on with 35 mph winds. Alex at the front desk waited and watched for me to arrive and was genuinely happy to see that I made it. They took very good care of me, the room was clean, comfortable and most importantly, warm! I'd love to stay there again if the need should ever arise! Thank you!”

“We had a very comfortable stay. I have to say this though. I usually bring my own tissues paper. But I forgot it and I must say this that they're bathroom tissue wasn't bad. It was thick enough that it didn't break apart and stick to me. I really appreciate that they took the time to get stronger toilet paper. That's just one of my pet peeve.”
