Have stayed in much nicer, cleaner Candlewoods before. The carpet here was filthy and there were people in the lobby not wearing masks, so rules are not being enforced. Elevators were dirty as well. Bad smell in the hallways. Dish rags in suites are clean but are actual torn up rags...Just hesitant about using due to COVID. Cherry on top was that I booked this 2 weeks in advance as a platinum IHG member. When I booked I requested a ground floor room or close to the elevator due to having a special needs pup with us. I check in and they’ve put us in the FOURTH floor in the farthest room from the elevator. So neither of my requests could be honored even though I booked 2 wks in advance? Annoying.

Beds are nice/suite and bathroom seem clean!

Overall, this has not been a pleasant experience. Kind of wishing now that I had cancelled when I saw the state of the hotel’s common areas and hallways. Thankfully it’s only for 1 night.

My husband and I needed a place to stop on the way to Florida that allowed pets. Overall, we had a very good stay and will likely stay again on our way back home. The bed was super comfy and the shower worked really well. My only complaints were that it could be a little cleaner, especially the floors in the room and in the hallways. Also, the microwave was dirty and had smudges/finger prints all over. These were just a few minor details we were unhappy with, but overall a great place to sleep.

On my way to Naples, FL to drive my in-laws' car back to Indiana for the summer. Needed a place to rest for the evening and the Candlewood Suites in Valdosta did not disappoint.

It was a very nice facility; if it's not relatively new it had to have been recently renovated. I was greeted and checked in quickly. In the midst of the pandemic the process done with proper social distancing.

The suite was clean and very spacious. Complete with a kitchen area and a living room area with a couch and recliner. There were TVs in both the living room and bedroom. The bed was very comfortable and provided a pleasant night's sleep.

The heating and cooling system was wonderful. The thermostat was on the wall and you could select the fan to be in the 'constant-on' position. I find that very helpful to drown out noise and avoid the sound of the system kicking on and off during the night.

The bathroom was brightly lit. The shower had good water pressure, another thing that greatly affects my rating of a hotel room.

They had a grab and go breakfast that had granola bars, snack cakes and single serving yogurts. I'm sure the typical self serve breakfast was no doubt shut down for health and safety reasons. All in all I was completely satisfied with my stay and wouldn't hesitate staying there again.
