I was very pleased with everything. The most impressive thing about our stay was the fact that the elevator broke at about 8:30pm the day we checked in. Our room was on the third floor and we were worried that we would have to carry all of our baggage down three flights of stairs when we checked out the next morning. Surprisingly they had it up and running by 7am!
I would like to recognize the staff who worked diligently to make that happen: the general manager, Ms Nona, Zachary and Tario. That’s teamwork!
The room was perfect. The only thing that bothered me was the noise. Well after 10 pm people were running up and down the hallway, yelling, knocking on doors etc.
This hotel is very nice, the staff is excellent, only issue to have is with some who stay there not being considerate of others.
Check in was good. Upon checking the room, the bathroom had dust and dirt from maintenance work in the bathroom shower, shower curtain was not installed and toilet needed to be cleaned. One of the employees came to our room right away and took care of the problem. The tv was not connected to satellite. Also, upon checking in, we were in the elevator which stopped between second and third floors and had to call Inn reservation number to alert front desk that we were stuck in elevator. Jolene in reservations kept on our cell to help us and was very nice of her to keep us informed. The elevator could not be repaired until the Monday weekday, as we were there on Friday til Monday, so we (and everyone else) had to use the stairwell to get to our room on the 3rd floor, which was a struggle with our luggage, etc. Although we had elevator issues for 3 days, the Inn staff was very helpful and took care of our problems right away. They were courteous and apologized for the inconvenience. There should be more than 1 elevator in the Inn. Hope that this is helpful information.
We were here for 3 days for church and will say that this was the cleanist hotel we have stayed at in the last 10 years coming to Alexandria! I usually bring cleaning products with us to clean our room once we check in and to my surprise when i cleaned the floors they were actually CLEAN! The staff was very friendly and professional as well!

Everything was okay the front desk staff was EXCELLENT!! All the ladies were very nice and welcoming. However toilet was broke and made noise ALL NIGHT!! Especially when you flushed it, and the shower water pressure wasn't very good at all. Outside of that it was a fair experience

Staff was very friendly and helpful. Cleaning staff were very thorough. Room had odd smell like dirt or old bug spray. Microwave handle was broken. Shower curtain wasn’t long enough for the tub.
Nice room, very comfortable. My only dissatisfaction with this chain is that they don't offer a breakfast. That's the main reason I rarely stay at Candlewood. If the hotel next to them (where I regularly stay) had not been full I would have stayed there.
It's a nice property, though.
Staff was amazing. Room was well worn but adequate. Parking lot broken in several places. No cover for unloading in the rain.

Worn furniture, broken towel rack, tv didn’t work. Bed was comfortable, room was clean. AC worked fine. Quiet room. Building was being renovated. Property in front had been demolished and entry was unclear.
The front desk people were very nice. However, our toilet did not flush, the room had a terrible smell and we didn't realize it was in a very unsafe area for females traveling alone. I wouldn't recommend staying here unless you were not leaving the hotel. Unfortunately no one addressed the toilet situation, but we only stayed one night.

The service is great. The building is old, despite upgrades. Our room remained so moist it curled the cover of a paperback book. We had two roaches (or water bugs). We asked housekeeping to come in and do a thorough cleaning because we still had two days left. They offered to move us upstairs but we had already stayed there several days and it was inconvenient to move.

My family and I were in town for a softball tournament. Upon initial check-in we were given our room key. We open the door to the room and there were paint cans and other materials everywhere. I called the front desk and she was ever accommodating by placing us in another room. The room was clean for the most part. However, the curtains had dark stains on them, the light fixtures in the bathroom were rusted, and there was a bug on one of the beds. Not an awful hotel, but I won’t be staying at this location again.
They took 2 months to give me my deposits and their elevators was out the whole time I stayed, I had to help my 800 pound girlfriend up the stairs. She really like 200 but after the 2nd flight she felt like 800.
