"Extended Stay Amenities Without the Extended Price Tag"
Overall Score3.5/ 5
The Candlewood Suites is located on the cusp of the blossoming River Ranch area, near the Oil Center. It is situated on the busy thoroughfare of Kaliste Saloom, which puts just about every part of Lafayette within easy reach. The best part of this hotel is that it is actually an all suite property. Rooms are clean and spacious with tonal decor. There are various configurations, but all contain a fully furnished kitchenette with dishwasher and full sized refrigerator. A mini-mart sells any conveniences you would need to get you settled in for your first night. The Candlewood Suites is part of a trend bringing the consistency of your favorite brands to the layout of the extended stay hotel. Guests should be aware that the hotel does not currently have a pool, but there is a covered area with a beautiful gas grill that is perfect for cook-outs. Give the Candlewood Suites a try for an overnight stay, or a week long trip. Either way, you will be pleased.

Verified Reviews of Candlewood Suites
Below are the verified reviews from guests that we have booked recently: "The room smelt terrible and we couldn’t stay at the hotel."
Overall Score1.0/ 5
There were hairs on the sheets and they smelt as if they hadn't been washed. Food was being eaten at the front desk which smelt horrible. We even sprayed Febreeze in our room but ended up canceling our stay and moving to another hotel.
Cynthia O. (Individual traveler, booked 1 room), from
08-Aug-2021 Verified Review, stayed from Sat Aug 07 to Sun Aug 08 2021 at a $75.60 average nightly rate. "Terrible customer service."
Overall Score2.0/ 5
The ladies at the front desk were very rude. They had two gentleman that were very nice the week we were there, but they were only there once or twice the entire time. The hotel itself was very nice and nice. In all honesty though I probably wouldn't go back just because of how bad those employees were.
Kimberly W. (Individual traveler, booked 1 room), from
20-Jul-2021 Verified Review, stayed from Mon Jul 12 to Sun Jul 18 2021 at a $85.00 average nightly rate. "A bit better than average."
Overall Score3.0/ 5
The staff was very courteous whenever we had any questions or needs. Upon arrival the room was clean but missing light bulbs. Since it had been raining I was concerned about the large water stain on the ceiling. The A/C front cover kept coming off as well. And we had to kill a large cockroach that came from who knows where. The kids noticed it on the curtain. The kitchen was a good size and all the pots and pans were of good quality. Aside from the little hiccups, my family and I enjoyed our stay.
Celeste A. (Individual traveler, booked 1 room), from
18-Jul-2021 Verified Review, stayed from Tue Jul 13 to Sun Jul 18 2021 at a $94.68 average nightly rate. "Room was dirty. Someone left clothes in bathroom. Room smelled like cigarettes."
Overall Score1.0/ 5
Definitely not worth $100 a night. I will never stay there again.
Kathy B. (Individual traveler, booked 1 room), from

Emily G. (Individual traveler, booked 1 room), from
09-May-2021 Verified Review, stayed from Fri May 07 to Sun May 09 2021 at a $83.99 average nightly rate. "Really Above Average but Could Use Upgrades."
Overall Score3.0/ 5
The staff, especially the front desk personnel, upon check in and check out were very friendly. Room was not too bad, but the lights near the bed never worked or were able to be turned on. There is a bit of "staleness" smell in rooms, which is why I alluded to a concern for upgrades being necessary, including fresh coats of paint. The fridge in the room was fine, but if ice is not available via an ice machine at facility then tenants should be alerted ahead of time and/or the ice maker in freezer should be turned on. The biggest issue was the access to using the TV. It took forever to determine why the remote could not change channels, but yet I could turn on/off the TV and adjust volume. The reason is that the box that is attached for Direct TV access is attached to the BACK of the dresser upon which the TV is stationed. At first we complained that the issue was the remote and the front desk came check it and had same problem until the maintenance man stated "it works fine if you stand right in front of TV". For the price, considering the location, it was not a bad overall deal but with a few minor adjustments it could be rated much higher.

Overall Score2.0/ 5
1st on arrival give a full bed, I booked two queens in one room. Went back to customer services. Lady apologized gave us 2nd room get into room which was supposed to be two queen beds we now have to full beds. My husband was not happy! We stayed in the room, our mistake, my husband ended up sleeping in the recliner. Wall in bathroom were covered in dirty handprints.The noise was horrible. Will not recommend this hotel.

Overall Score3.0/ 5
I was kept awake for the two nights with someone making some kind of a rolling noise in one of the rooms above me.
Rhonda D. (Individual traveler, booked 1 room), from
18-Feb-2021 Verified Review, stayed from Sun Feb 14 to Tue Feb 16 2021 at a $82.99 average nightly rate. "Great experience but no pool."
Overall Score4.0/ 5
Overall, our experience here was great! Kitchen was stocked with utensils/appliances/pans; wasn't expecting that. However, they don't want you to actually cook but only warm food on the burners. Washers and dryers were free, totally cool! Room was large and clean! I would definitely recommend this hotel if you're okay not having a pool.
Katina M. (Individual traveler, booked 1 room), from
02-Aug-2019 Verified Review, stayed from Tue Jul 16 to Sat Jul 20 2019 at a $71.20 average nightly rate. "Stinky floor and no washing machines."
Overall Score3.0/ 5
The carpet in our room stunk the whole time. They don't bring you towels, you have to get them yourself. They have three washing machines, but only two work. When you wash it takes over two hours to complete a load and then still want to charge you $94 per night. We won't be back.
