Our stay was wonderful there. We were greeted and chatted briefly with Christopher. He had such a warm smile and made my husband & I feel so welcomed. The room was really nice and neat and the location was perfect. Definitely recommend this hotel.
I stayed here for a few days and all the staff were friendly and very helpful to me and my pet. Tabitha stood out as I appreciated her help with my last minute request. The hotel is not that old, easy location to get in & out, the rooms were super clean and no bugs seen! But the property is showing wear & tear, with water leak in the hallway and a musty smell - but I was in a pet room.
Nice room. Location is really good. It's a nice medium type hotel the people are also nice. I would recommend staying here. Definitely a five star based on just the service alone
Taylor at the front desk was SUCH a helpful and welcoming young lady. The property may not be the newest or fanciest, but I'll take great customer service, comfortable accommodations and a feeling of safety over boojee anyway, especially for the price when traveling for volleyball tournaments!!! THANK YOU TAYLOR!!!
I very much appreciate Miss Ellen for being such an wonderful person at our stay with Candle Wood. She has a great attitude and personality
We were pleasantly surprised by the appointments in this property. I can honestly say that the use of space and convenience features were better than some 5-star hotels. Check-in was friendly and swift. The room was clean and had a lot of well thought out features: abundant towels, enough hooks in the bathroom for 4 sets of towels to hang and dry, a deep closet with real hangers and a laundry basket, deep drawers and shelf space for clothing and shoes, flexible work and dining table, pre-chilled fridge (too many hotels keep the fridge on a warm setting), several trash bins, and comfy bedding.. We booked the hotel for a lacrosse tournament at A&M, and didn't expect much but this really gave me a great impression of Candlewood Suites and I will continue to return to this property for our annual tournaments.
The service is exceptional. The room is comfortable. The house keeping forgot to take out the trash and dirty towel from the last visitor. The hallway smells like mildew.
We had a wonderful stay and the service was impeccable - especially Christopher, who was wonderful. The beds were comfortable, the AC worked great, and the stocked kitchen utensils and silverware was helpful.
Set off Highway 6, this unpretentious all-suite hotel is across the street from Veterans Park and Athletic Complex, 3 miles from Texas A&M University and 5 miles from the George Bush Presidential Library and Museum.
Curated spots travelers usually pair with a stay in Texas. Distances are rough real-world times, not straight-line.
