  • Location.
  • The pillows smelled like mildew.

“It was OK, but that's it. I'd say it's a one-star motel at best. The halls smelled from cooking food, the pillows smelled like mildew, the TV didn't work when I came into the room and when I called downstairs about it the desk clerk told me to reconnect the cable to the DVD player. So I had to pull out the very heavy TV and figure out what the problem was. Finally, when I told the clerk the some kind of whining noise was coming from the vent in the bathroom, she told me she could have maintenance look at it "tomorrow." That was no help in terms of sleeping in a quiet room tonight since I would be gone tomorrow.”

  • They have an "honor system" good if you dont have cash on hand.
  • Smoking rooms, bed not big enough and bad location.

“The lady checking me in was rude and gave me a smelly smoking rude telling me thats all they have. Twenty minutes later while I was trying to connect to the internet, I called the front desk and guy answered I asked him to change me rooms and he gladly did. Overall not happy with this hotel and would not stay here again.”

  • It has kitchenette where we can heat our left over food.
  • Its very dirty, smells like Indian food. We had to request another room.

“I will not recommend this hotel to anybody. Its old and very dirty. We had to request for another room because upon check-in, there was strong smell of Indian food. Under our beds, there were lots of crumbs, carpet was very dirty. This hotel needs to do a lot of updating.”

  • Very comfortable beds.
  • Very close to train station.

“I have stayed at this hotel once before and the trains pulling in and out at night was a little loud. This time I was a bit more at ease with the sound and the hotel manager tried to get me a room on the other side of the hotel that does not face the train tracks. My daughter loves staying here! They have a food pantry where you can buy items on the honor system and you can check out movies to watch (my daughters favorite part)!”

  • In room kitchen facilities, comfortable bed.
  • I liked everything.

“Although the room did lack ambiance it was very comfortable with nice linens, a wonderful kitchenette. I would only add wireless internet to my desired features in the room.”

  • Location near Santa Clara University was great.
  • Smoking room was horrible and hall was very noisy.

“I'm glad I only had to stay here one night. Drunk people in the hallway, dogs, loud families that seemed to be living there permanently and my room stunk to high heaven. I had business at Santa Clara University the next morning-and the location was very convenient to the school, but that's about it for the high points.”

  • Kitchen amenities.
  • Expensive?

“Clean, nice hotel with studio-like rooms (kitchen etc). Slightly on expensive side for me but u can save money by eating in rather than out. Right next to Santa Clara transit station with rail and bus. 20 min. ride to San Jose Downtown or airport by bus # 22 or 10 respectively.”

  • The hotel would be a great place to stay with children because of the kitchenettes and DVD library.
  • The fact that it is located next to a train station.

“If you are a light sleeper or use to a lot of noise through the night, then you would be fine at this hotel. It's very nice hotel with VERY comfortable beds. It's good for long stays with kids if your family can sleep through the trains.”

  • Had hob and the room was very clean?
  • No pool, air-conditioning made weird noises.

“The staff was very friendly and it is in a very safe neighborhood. There is no pool and the gym is kind of pathetic. The room smelt like a dentists office when you first walk in and if you turned the heat on it smelt like something was burning. The water there is horrible; it looks like you are pouring milk into your glass when you are getting water from any of the faucets, even the one in the kitchen.”

  • Room was the best part. Clean and nice looking.
  • The smell of others cooking creep into our room.

“Overall the hotel was great for the price. Not much to the hotel. Just good for the room only. Only downfall that since there was a kitchen in the rooms. We could smell the meals being cooked from nearby rooms. It wasn't a good smell. Indian type food not our taste or smell.”

  • Comfort of the beds and arrangement of the room were very high quality.
  • The hotel was undergoing extreme remodeling at the time, and things were in disarray.

“I thought the hotel met my standards, and contributed to the overall smoothness of my visit. I surely would stay at the Candlewood Suites again. And the bagel store nearby was top-notch!”

  • Great bedding! Huge cushy towels! Upgraded kitchen utensils, pots and pans.

“This is a fabulous hotel. The room is very large (I had a queen), includes a full kitchen, free Internet access. Right next to the light rail and Caltrain station, but never once did a train wake me up! Rooms are quiet, spacious, and comfortable. The bed is to die for! Fabulous bedding. Starbucks and Quiznos right across the parking lot.”
