• Staff was extremely helpful and pleasant.
• The bed was not what I consider a queen.

“This hotel provided everything we needed for a casual trip to the area. We did not spend a lot of time at the hotel to really see all it had to offer.”

• It was extremely close to airport. This hotel was very convenient.
• Someone burnt their breakfast and left their room door open to let the smell out.

“This hotel was very convenient and close to the airport. This hotel would be ideal if the tenants thought a bit more about the other guests.”

• The atmosphere was very homey; the laundry area and workout room added to the effect.
• No exhaust in the bathroom for the steam from the hot water.

“People were friendly and cooperative. The room was clean, comfortable and homey. I liked the idea of having a small kitchen which came in very handy. The bed was comfortable and clean and the bathroom was immaculate. I didn't have to worry about a maid knocking on the door at odd hours either. I liked just taking my soiled linens to the front desk and having them exchanged. Nice atmosphere, nice area, very comfortable. I would definitely recommend this chain to friends and family.”

• The staff was very quick to address our needs as they arose.
• The batteries in the electronic safe were dead, but this was quickly remedied.

“This was by far one of my best experiences in doing so. The location was nearly perfect, with the hotel located only a block or two away from the light rail station. This allowed us easy and inexpensive access to Baltimore and many of its attractions. The staff was very courteous and very expedient in addressing our needs and answering our questions. They were very knowledgeable about the area and were able to provide directions. The room itself was very spacious and comfortable. The overall value of the hotel vs. the price is very difficult, if not impossible, to beat. I'd recommend this hotel to anybody.”

• The hotel was well priced, a bonus in this economic downturn. It was a nice place to stay.
• Have no negative comments to make. The property was fine.

“This property was perfect for myself as I was there on business. The proximity was super, place was clean and staff accomodating.”

• Clean & comfortable rooms.
• Inconvenient airport shuttle service.

“Hotel & room was great. I really needed the airport shuttle service that the hotel provided to have more convenient, reliable times. Shuttle service did not begin until 7 PM. Upon my return back to BWI I waited 30 minutes, and a shuttle never came to the airport. I had to end up spending money for a taxi to and from the airport. Very disappointing.”

• My husband used the workout room and I was really happy to have a free laundry room.
• We just stayed at three different hotels, and this was better than one, and equal to the second.

“The Candlewood is a great place to stay with your family. The room had a kitchen, and the facility had a clean laundry room that also contained items to purchase such as food or things that may come in handy.”

• Friendly shuttle driver to airport (actually hotel engineer).
• No shuttle from airport, night checking insecure, halls dirty, staff apathetic.

“We had a late flight arrival and found there was no shuttle, so had to take a taxi to hotel, checked in about 1 am. Nobody on duty so they have a mysterious, but functional self check in. Apparently for security, but the hotel door was unlocked. Lobby area somewhat institutional, halls didn't appear very clean, but room was okay. In the morning used fitness room, which had an excellent multi-station machine. Desk staff seemed unfriendly and uninterested in helping guests in general.”

• I loved the layout of the room and the comfortable bed.
• Nothing it was great!

“Candlewood exceeded my expectations by a long shot with the location, cleanliness, and size of the rooms. It was a wonderful place to have a little get-away and relax. It is an excellent place I was very pleased and will definitely stay there again.”

• That it had a full kitchen and new furnishings and bedding, hardwood floors in the kitchen area!
• The candlewood cupboard (vending area) did not have diet soda.

“It was easy to find. When I arrived, I was greeted promptly and my room was amazing for the price. Big fluffy bed, soft sheets and pillows. The were many cable channels to choose from and the kitchen was a huge plus.”

• It was perfect, no complaints.

“The hotel was easy to find in a great location and close to both restaurants and a movie theater. It provided the perfect location to accommodate all the wish or choice to reside there.”

• Large room, in-room kitchen.
• Strong smell of cigarette smoke, infrequent airport shuttle.

“I was booked into a smoking room and told there were no non smoking rooms. I am not a smoker and found this quite unacceptable. However the rooms are a nice size and offer the convenience of an in room kitchen.”

• I felt like I was at home.
• The throw pillow had never been cleaned and I returned it. They responded appropriately.

“The room was well laid out and comfortable. The front desk clerk was excellent and always called me by name when I came in for the night. I would definitely stay there again.”

• Nothing.
• No luggage rack; no breakfast; dirty room.

“This is an extended stay motel. There is no free breakfast. Rooms have a well-equipped kitchenette. Coffee for in-room coffeemaker is only for the first day, after that you need to buy your own at their store -- 75 cents per package. There was no luggage rack in the room - staff told us to use the table and/or chairs -- so how do you eat breakfast if the table and/or chairs hold your luggage. Also, no maid service unless you stay for a week. Room had food on the floor from a prior guest -- behind the nightstand (we had to pull out to plug in medical equipment. Would not like to stay at Candlewood again!.”

• The friendliness of the staff.

“My family and friends were located near Linthicum so the location was perfect. It was a great price and a great place to stay - even for one night. I had to move nearby to the Microtel.”

• The Desk Clerk went out of her way to drive us to the airport in the early AM.
• Room temperature was a bit high, but it was warm in Baltimore for the time of year.

“While the hotel is set up for long-term stay, with the suite style kitchenette, the bed and sofa bed were both comfortable. Rooms (kitchen, living, bath and bed) are spacious enough to be very comfortable too. I would absolutely use this facility again for travel to Baltimore, while using BWI Airport. Free shuttle runs to Light Rail system.”

• Very clean and rooms were big.
• Need to have an earlier check in time.

“I and my wife liked the room and the rooms were quiet no out side noises even with an airport close to it the beds could have been softer, but we like soft beds over all it was a nice place to stay If we go back to that area we will try to stay there again.”

• Nothing really.
• Hotel was a dump, terrible bed, no staff.

“First and foremost the bedding situation was terrible. Bed was uncomfortable, and had only 1 bed rooms. The roll away was terrible too. No housekeeping, they come only 1 time a week. If you want cleans towels, you have to go get them. Front desk was closed when we arrived. They have some ridiculous auto late check in. Terrible hotel experience.”

• Nothing.
• They had one room left when arrived, no air conditioning in June. Management was non-responsive and incompetent. I had to buy hotel room elsewhere.

“When I arrived, after flying all day, the one room they had left had no air conditioning, and it was late in June in D.C. area, very warm. Management never returned my calls. No functional front desk. I had to wait for an on-call housekeeper to come to check out the airconditioning. She told me it was so hot in there that she would not stay in that room either. The hotel told me that I had to find another hotel, at my expense, at 1:30 a.m., because they had no other rooms available and they had no way of direct billing another hotel back to them to accomodate me, since they had no more rooms. This was a nightmare. All of the hotels they sent me to (driving around for hours) were also sold out. I finally found a hotel, at my expense, at 3:30 a.m.The lobby was dingy and dumpy, and the room looked more like an very economy hotel rather than two stars. It also smelled like smoke. To this day (almost a week later) the hotel manager has still not returned my phone messages.) This was a dumpy hotel with poor management. I would never stay in this hotel chain again.”

• Quality for the price.
• Nothing really.

“I would recommend this hotel to anyone traveling to the Baltimore area. It has a kitchen which will cut costs of dining out for those with children or those on a budget as we were. My wife and I travel a lot to Baltimore to visit the kids and grandkids and will use each time for the best value.”

• Very helpful in arranging transportation for us (public transit & transportation to train stations, etc).
• We wish there were more restaurants within walking distance.

“We were pleased with the accommodations, and the staff was friendly and helpful. They comped our taxi expenses during our stay, because they did not have an evening shuttle driver, which I found very thoughtful.”
