  • Close to the Great Lakes Naval facility for Navy graduation.
  • One bed for a single mom and her 16 yr old son.

“Shower curtain smelled of mildew. Unidentifiable stain on bedspread. This hotel has only one bed per rented room. Please take it off your list as I requested 1 room with 2 beds and you still stuck me with this place. No maid service unless you stay 5 days - had to take our own trash out. No swimming pool. Would not stay there again.”

  • I liked the convenience of the Candle wood Cupboard.
  • They do not have rooms with two beds. There were three of us. Extremely disappointed.

“I liked the Candle wood cupboard, the complimentary movies and laundry facilities. Candle wood Suites do not have rooms with two beds, so my son had to sleep on the floor. They did not even have roll away beds. Exercise facility was also very nice. Staff was helpful and friendly.”

  • I wish it had a pool or hot tub and late checkout was not easy to achieve.

“We live locally and needed a place near home while work was done, this was convenient and for the price was terrific. We have stayed at most of the local 2 or 3 star places in the last couple of months and this was the best value for the accommodations by far.”
