Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Well above average vs. the typical Candlewood Suites. Seems like a recent build. Great deal for the price. Comfy bed. VERY clean. Pets allowed for very fair pet fee. Full size fridge, stovetop, etc. just a great deal for sure. Gonna make this my new go-to stop on my trips on I-80!

I found this Hotel on my IHG app while looking for Hotels in the area. I was in the South Bend area for business and looking for a Hotel close to New Carlyle. The price for a one night was what closed the deal. This is a budget-friendly hotel with large spacious clean rooms. There is no 'breakfast' at the hotel but they have vending machines and many restaurants close by.

I found a nice sized kitchen area, a large desk/work area, a large comfy queen bed, and a large bathroom inside my room. Overall my stay was good, but the rooms could use a touch of modernization. The rooms lack USB ports but they have electrical outlets around the room, so I was able to charge most of my devices. The Wifi connection was strong and I was able to connect through a firewall to my company server to check emails and update my CRM. I did find streaming was okay as well as I went online for Netflix and Amazon Prime and have no buffering issues.

I would have given this property 4 stars but cleanliness was an issue. I found dirty smudges on the entrance door, cup ring stains on the nightstand by the bed and hair in the drain in my shower (yech!!). Aside from that, the bathroom was large and relatively clean with plenty of towels and full shampoo, conditioner and shower gel in the shower.

The Fitness room had enough equipment for a basic workout. It had cardio machines and free weights as well as some other accessories. I got in a good 45-minute workout with weights and the cardio machine and also did some stretching (ROMWOD) on the only supplied exercise mat.

Would I stay here again...yes, as the price is right but cleanliness needs to be improved and I would like to see a touch of modernization with USB and maybe USB-C ports in the work area and the nightstands.

If you need to be at the airport or need a kitchen, this was a fine place. It's actually near a residential neighborhood as well as the airport, so there's a place to go go for a walk. Candlewood Suites are generally well-stocked in the kitchen, but I did have to double check for missing plates and the dishwasher's detergent dispenser was missing its cover. We had a comfortable say.

We checked in to our room which seemed alright, a little outdate, but tolerable. I asked for extra towels and was told there was a one towel limit per person per room, so three towels was just too much to ask for. We fell asleep around midnight and were woken around 4am to what sounded like construction going on above our heads for the next FOUR hours. If that wasn't enough, I noticed a bit on my arm, followed by another and another... There ended up being bites all over me! I immediately contacted the front desk who were no help and customer service who told me there was nothing they could do, but file a claim and wait for someone to call me. We ended up going to a different hotel. I still haven't even received an apology let alone any sort of reimbursement or compensation from this disastrous experience. I do not recommend this place at all!

Spent 14 hours traveling only to arrive at check-in without a room. Apparently the cleaning staff went home (it was 4:30pm when we arrived for a 3pm check in). The girl at the front desk was very nice but was put in a terrible position as their cleaning staff left her with ZERO clean rooms for her arrivals that night. She tried finding us another room that the cleaning staff said was “cleaned” and none of them were cleaned and ready for guests. Tried to get ahold of the property manager and she left early for the day and “does not take calls with hotel guests”. Spent the next three hours trying to find another hotel. Terribly run- no business sense whatsoever in the hospitality industry.

Arrive around noon, hoping a room is ready. Woman at the desk’s computer takes forever, and eventually assigns me a room on the third floor. I arrive, and the door is cracked open, not a good sign. I open it a bit, and the room is clearly not cleaned! Back down the elevator I go (it’s only a single elevator, so there is a wait) and inform the front desk. Again I wait and wait, and even the manager gets involved, while yelling at people. Eventually I get my clean room after at least 30 minutes.

On the way, I noticed an old faded sign for a pool. Perhaps there was one at some point, but no longer.

The room itself is typical Candlewood style, and that’s why this isn’t a one star review. I actually slept decently that night. Water pressure in the shower is terrible, even more than usual.

I check out, and that went OK, except I never received welcome points. It turns out because I paid in points (a free night), they don’t issue 500 upon arrival. I have travelled to many IHG properties, and every single one of them gave me the welcome bonus, whether I paid in points or the full rate. I’m a Spire Elite member, and spend a fair amount of time traveling for pleasure (check out how many reviews I write), and you would think giving out a measly 500 points would be no problem.

The GM did email me after the fact, and it was the standard “sorry for the inconvenience, we hope you give us another chance” template. He didn’t even attempt to address my concerns. This place clearly needs new management and perhaps ownership before I would even consider his offer.

The area between the hotel and downtown South Bend is far from good, so keep that in mind if you plan to venture down there.

The hotel was nice enough to cancel my reservation the day before arrival that I had made 2-3 months prior. I had booked with points and when they became over booked, they bumped me. Some friends that I am traveling with booked week of and since they were not using points, they got to keep their reservations. They would not help me book at another location, just told me I would have to call the reservations number. They also told me they would send me an email stating why they canceled my room, but I didn't not receive. Horrible customer service.

I had two dogs with me and no one said at anytime there was a charge for them. I was charged 40.00 on my card. I was also bit half a dozen times in my room that evening. Fleas possibly????my dogs are on frontline gold. Not my bugs. When I went to check out in the morning there was no one at front desk to complain too. Not happy

Stayed a single night at the location for my son's lacrosse tournament that was about 10 minutes away. Felt safe in this location and hotel was very clean inside. Room was prepped nicely and had dishes/silverware stocked. AC worked VERY well. Only knock I have was the service to check in was very slow and took way longer than normal. Pool was also closed due to COVID. Overall, a nice place and is right next to airport for those that need the convenience.

Elevators were out of order, pillow cases were dirty, and for some reason, the power went off in the hotel and its parking lot from 4 am to 7:30 am. The power was out nowhere else. This was an unsafe, unclean, and unpleasant hotel stay. I doubt very much we will stay at a Candlewood again.
