I was here for a week while getting repairs to my home. It was okay. I liked that they had a connection lined up with the local YMCA so I was able to go there to use the gym.

0 stars!!! WARNING to all females and fellow nurses! Pulling up to the building a little uncomfortable with the sign on the outside stating Candlewood suites but was tired so continued to check in. Went out to vehicle to grab bags and walk the dog before going inside. Used "side door" as instructed by desk clerk, it was completely open and didn't properly close (unsafe). When walking to the elevator the entire hotel smelled like weed. When getting to the room 207 opened the door and the room reeked of mold and urine. The bedside table had white and red powered substance and a dime. As a traveling ICU nurse I should be able to safely stop and rest since I'm traveling through states to help struggling hospitals and patients. I can not fathom the reviews of this hotel receiving 8.3/10 for "cleanliness", it's asinine. I immediately spoke with the desk clerk Kristine and told her the state of the room and told her the door of room 207 would not even lock and as a women I did not feel safe nor was the room clean. When I asked for a refund the managers card was given. I asked her for a signed note stating the time I "checked in" and the time I gave her the room key (less the 1.5 hours). I will be contacting the manager for a full refund (although the desk clerk stated I will not get my money back). I would hope this company would do the right thing, but we will see after I talk to the manager Chris Shaw. Will post the outcome. This will also be posted on all traveling medical professional groups. UPDATE: manager Chris Shaw apologized for state of room and gave full refund.

A nice place to stay until you find out is no toilet paper, no amenities or find out after your third day asking if someone is going to clean your room or give you clean towels. I was told when I ask I needed to give 24 hours ahead of time to have my room cleaned. I will NEVER comeback to this hotel

After the drive from Mobile, stopping at my son's home in ft. Dp, taking the highway to destination, seeing a friendly smile upon arrival was two thumbs up, a clap, and a love it!!!!! The front desk assistant was awesome, room was great, and My shower was just right. Too bad this visit is a short one but don't worry, It's a definite on my list return......

Lovely little spot on a hill in suburban Birmingham. The room was very comfortable and furnished very well. We loved the clean lines of the "Scandinavian-esque" decor. Although our stay was enroute to visit friends during the holidays, I would highly recommend for business travel as there is plenty of work space and a nicely appointed kitchen.

I have stayed here twice and love it. The suites are large, clean, and bright. (I find many hotel rooms are too dark.) The staff is friendly and efficient. The location is great, and as I travel alone, I feel safe here. Having a kitchen and full-size refrigerator in the suite makes for great convenience. I highly recommend this hotel and will definitely be returning here frequently.

My wife and I stayed here while visiting family in birmingham. The room itself was ok, but there were several issues that made our stay here not as good as it could have been. When we first arrived, the room we were in smelled like smoke even though it's a non smoking hotel. Fortunately they were accommodating and switched us to an adjacent room. Even though our new room didn't smell like smoke, my wife was congested and started sneezing every time we entered the room. There was definitely a thick coating of dust on top of the curtains, so it seems that the room really needs a deep cleaning. This is a minor thing...the lightswitch in the bedroom operates all the lights, including the bedside lamps. This means that while reading in bed at night, we had to get up out of bed to turn the lights off. We actually used a spatula to reach the switch so we didn't have to get up. Not the bigger deal, but kind of a pain. The climate control system is a little weird because there is a main unit in the living area, with just a fan to get that air into the bedroom. It was pretty cool weather while we were here, but I'd imagine that in the summer the a/c wouldn't be too effective in reaching to the bedroom. There was a "leather" recliner in our room that seemed pretty new, but every time I sat in it, some of the material ripped because of how thin it is (and I am not a big guy). On the plus side, the exercise room is pretty nice. Also the room has pretty much everything you need for an extended stay, like pots, silverware and plates, cleaning supplies, etc. I do wish they cleaned the room more than once a week, but this wasn't a big deal. Overall, I'd give a qualified recommendation, just be aware that the rooms may not be as spotless and clean and well constructed as you want.

YOUR HOME AWAY FROM HOME! We selected this particular hotel due to its reviews and location. We love staying away from the action and this place is perfectly located in the burbs but with easy access to all of the places we wanted to visit. It is tucked away on a hill covered by trees so it is very private. Yet, when you pull onto the main drive, you have every single store within your reach, (Homegoods, Whole Foods, Publix, Fresh Market, bowling, Trader Joe's, Walmart, Lowe's and the list goes on and on. Anything you need, you will find on this main road, (Highway 280). The crown jewel is the Summit Mall which I will be visiting later today because I have chosen to save the best for last. Or so I think, we'll see!. I briefly read the information regarding this hotel but allowed my husband to handle the actual reservation. I was really surprised when I walked in the room and saw a full size refrigerator in an actual stocked kitchen. What?. He had asked me about a "kitchenette" but I thought he meant the customary fridge and microwave option which we always choose because we like having beverages, fruit and snacks available. This was a step up!. On extended trips, I love having access to a kitchen and I actually enjoy preparing my own breakfast as it tends to be the most challenging meal of the day in terms of finding an appropriate restaurant. Next time, I will be ready. This kitchen contained a stove top, coffee maker, full fridge, dishes and cookware and limited utensils so if you like preparing your meals, you will need to bring some of your own supplies. There are grills outside so you can also cook up proteins if you choose. This place is great for families and extended stays. THE THINGS THAT I REALLY LIKED ABOUT MY STAY HERE ARE AS FOLLOWS: The television up and out of the way, instead of right on top of the dresser. The super comfortable bed with quality linens. Relatively quiet. Lots of outlets in the most convenient places. A charging station right next to the bed. Great black-out drapes. Having my own iron and ironing board readily available in my closet. Great lighting options that extend beyond the customary "bright-bright" option. Nice gazebo located on the outside patio along with great seating and gas grills THINGS TO CHANGE The spray from that shower is crazy! I felt as if I was getting sandblasted. Why bother with soap because I'm sure that I have an entirely new layer of skin after that experience. We are talking full body exfoliation. Please turn it down just a bit. You wouldn't want to wash away any kids! Colder air flow from the unit. We turned it down as low as it would go but it was not quite cool enough for our ideal sleeping temperature. Yet, we still slept well. Although my room and primary living area was clean, I did not like the condition of the common areas. The carpet in the hallways and along the stairs needs to be replaced as it is very worn and dirty. While cleaning is a good start, replacement is a better option. Yes, this hotel is a nice option! ***Old man Jenkins, (my husband) loved that bed so much that he literally took a nap every single day!! Now you know why I call him "Old man Jenkins".

Don't stay at this place if you like peace and quiet. They have one of those dumb Verdant thermostats that don't let you set constant fan. They also only allow you to set the air con lower than 69. In addition, the refrigerator is very loud and you can't make local calls on the phone. The front desk lady was very helpful, bit the general manager, Chris Shaw, won't answer my calls. For all the signs around here that talk about wanting you to be comfortable and how they respect your loyalty, they sure don't seem to care.
