Very nice, comfortable hotel. Would recommend to others
5.0 / 10.0
My only complaint about this property was a sewer-like smell in the room. It seemed to be coming from the water (inside of dishwasher and kitchen sink drain had odor). Water tasted okay. I opened window and turned up AC and smell diminished.
4.0 / 10.0
I liked the room and the staff was professional. The only thing I didn't like was the person above me got up at 5:00am and started walking and bouncing around for over an hour preventing me from being able to sleep.

It was outdated. The floors were not cleaned. Couch had stains.
2.0 / 10.0
The room was kind of gross. There was mold in the bathroom and the air conditioner smelled like mold. The entire property was really run down. Not worth the over $250 that was paid.
4.0 / 10.0
Average suite hotel, close to the highway. Comfortable beds (on the soft side) and clean room, but otherwise nothing to write home about. Lack of towel hangers made it slightly annoying to use the bathroom.
4.0 / 10.0
The concept is nice, However I found the suite itself not very clean and outdated. The grounds were not well kept. It was in a good location and could be a great place to stay with a small family if some updates were done.
8.0 / 10.0
Great location. Easy access on and off highway and close to Costco Walmart etc for vacation supplies. Staff at desk was super friendly.
8.0 / 10.0
Staff was very helpful and accomodating.
The only thing was that our freezer ice machine didn't work. There is an ice machine in the lobby though.

It's an older hotel, carpets and furniture are worn ,stained just overall dirty. The straw that broke the camels back for me was the obviously used, dirty pillowcase still on a our bed pillow. It made me wonder about the sheets. We were in a 2 bedroom suite, thankfully just one night.
I won't stay here again and I don't recommend it to anyone. Property is overgrown not mowed! However the front desk staff member was excellent. At checkout I mentioned the issue with the bed pillow, there was really nothing he could do to correct it.

Not far outside downtown Portland, a good alternative for those looking to spend roughly 1/2 the cost of the hotels right in the heart of the city.

This hotel is awful and overpriced. We were on the first floor and could hear every foot step on the second floor.

The hotel was old and dated. Smelled like cigarettes and was dirty. I would not recommend staying there.

5.0 / 10.0
The location of this hotel is very convenient to visit local attractions. The staff was very friendly at check in. The location of the room was great for staying with a dog and was convenient to go outside quickly.
We had an incident requiring a new set of linens and the front staff was efficient and expedious in getting this to our room. They were very kind and sympathetic. The room was clean and stocked.
I had stayed in another IHG property a few weeks prior and this location was much better, more friendly and accommodating. I would recommend it.

We love staying at this PET-FRIENDLY hotel. The desk staff is friendly, the rooms are always very clean (even those designated for pets), there is plenty of green space for walking dogs, and the location is convenient to Portland. Plus there are MANY stores in and around the Maine Mall just down the road! Finally, a room with more space and a kitchen just makes the whole stay easier and more comfortable.

Beautiful suite for the price - bag of microwave popcorn was a nice touch.
6.0 / 10.0
Our room had a window in the kitchen that wouldn't close all the way, it kept letting bugs in. There was mold and an extreme amount of dust and cobwebs around the vent fan in the bathroom. The inner bathroom door wouldn't latches. There was smoke damage in the bedrooms. The other bedroom door wouldn't latch at all. There wasn't any extra bedding for the pull out couch and we had to go across the street to the office to get it ourselves.

I stayed at this property the power went out and still waiting on my refund
5.0 / 10.0
Had to book anything as it was the solar eclipse and we were on the road. Never stayed at a Candlewood Suites before, but had to take a chance. Check in went well, but I was concerned when the doors into the hotel were not very clean and the luggage cart was filthy. However when we got to our suite it was clean and comfortable!
8.0 / 10.0
Mostly great. I love that this hotel has a small recliner in each room! Super clean, but some updates needed. The refrigerator in the room made a constant loud clunking noise due to a broken ice maker that wouldn’t turn off, and the bathroom faucet handle kept falling off. Climate control worked well, very comfortable bed and pillows, fast WiFi, functional kitchen area, friendly staff. I would return!
4.0 / 10.0
Travelling with dogs, this was a good spot to stay. Room on ground level. Small area for dogs at back of hotel. The room was clean & staff was friendly.
2.0 / 10.0
They promote using on premises, one can’t smoke weed without judgment but one can definitely happily IV use their drugs and a blind eye is batted, power outage and their staff has hung up on me and avoided answering the phone to give me their supervisors number. Wouldn’t even recommend this as the American addicts dream

The area was hit by a massive ice storm and we had no power from about 9:00 p.m. till we checked out the next morning. .. a backup generator would be appreciated next time

It was clean, quiet and nice. But we lost power our second night and it was awful.

It worked really well for us. We like having the kitchen alot. The room was clean except it had a strange odor when you first walked in. Free coffee was great. We will definitely considering staying there in the future.
