The staff was very friendly and helpful. The location is perfect for visiting Mount Vernon and anything in the DC area. The rooms are very nice and have everything you could need for a comfortable stay. The local area has great restaurants. The grounds were well kept and had great space for traveling with pets.
I had a great experience and a feeling of home away from home. I felt safe, the rooms are well updated and clean.
I appreciated the no extra fee for washing my clothes! Will stay here again when I return to the states!
Staff was good and helpful. Still undergoing renovations so microwave did not work in room and only channels 3-14 worked. Loved amenities and cleanliness. Would definitely stay again.
PROS: The room was nice. This exrended stay had a good supply of dishes, etc. The coffee in the lobby was fresh brewed and really good for "hotel coffee".
---
CONS: No housekeeping. No hotel breakfast. (Just free fruit.) The walls were paper thin so I could hear slamming doors, feet stomping above me, crying babies next door, music from across the hall, and dogs barking from a room halfway down the hall. I was surrounded the entire time by a constant barrage of noise.
When I ultimately complained, the desk clerk was sympathetic and contacted the dogs' owners and the barking stopped, but there wasn't much she could do about the rest so I will NOT return to this hotel because of the noise factor due to the 'thin walls'.
After a 13 hour drive and a heck of a scare after realizing the original hotel we book was a filthy cesspool, the clerk who greeted us at 9:30pm 5-19 was an absolute angel! She was friendly and welcoming and most definitely calmed my nerves. The rooms and property were clean, comfortable, quiet and safe! I’m sorry I didn’t catch the desk clerks name but she turned our entire trip right side up and I thank her! It was my first stay at a Candlewood Suites but not my last!
I had no problems with the hotel itself, but the surrounding area is definitely not safe. My first morning after checking in, I look outside to see some person strung out on some sort of substance on their knees in the grass by the road in front of the hotel screaming nonsense into the sky then curling up on the ground, over and over.

Disliked: Amenities
The front desk person couldn’t give me a straight answer when I asked why the credit card # on my reservation was different from mine. Mgr on phone said 3rd party (Expedia) does it that way. Sounded shady. I cancelled my reservation. Went to different hotel. Could not talk to a human at Expedia. Horrible.
