Pros: I liked the free laundry services. The Wifi never failed. I received a package and it was easily retrieved. The staff was always friendly. Coffee was always available and fresh. Cleaning crew was very friendly and accommodating. It was a most wonderful experience.
Cons: Billing midway through my stay had me at odds with my company. I am to report all "spending" to the office before 9:00 am every Monday morning. Candlewood Suites charged my credit card without my knowledge and I missed my reporting time. I received a somewhat nasty email from my company about not reporting the "charge" in a timely manner. I was VERY dissatisfied with this aspect of my stay. This is something that should be explained upon check-in, that charges will be made on your credit card BEFORE your stay is finished. My stay was for 2 weeks (11 days).

Pros: Location was excellent, short distance to I-66 and Fair Oaks Mall. Kitchenette was very handy. Major snow was approaching, so we fixed dinner in. The front desk staff was extremely friendly. They provided free ice scrapers since it snowed overnight.
Cons: We were in a queen studio--it was extremely small. The shower head was dirty and new caulk is needed around the bathtub faucet. One minor thing--complimentary USA Today was available only to IHG members. Come on!

Pros: Excellent facility in terms of staff who are pleasant, helpful, efficient and provide a relaxed vibe. Hotel is very clean and quiet, rooms are very clean, excellent layout, really nice decor/color, very plush cosy bedding, fully furnished kitchen (including dish washer) and separate dining table, plus there is a locker room in lobby with additional items you can borrow from kitchen appliances, games, books, videos to play in DVD player in all rooms (bonus popcorn included in room), etc. Laundry facilities are free and located adjacent to large workout centre with great equipment. Free coffee provided in main lobby, mints at front desk, plus all kinds of breakfast/snack goods you can purchase on honour system. This is second Candlewood Suites stayed in and equally as good. Will only stay in these where possible from now on. As quoted by another guest at stay, they feel like home.
Cons: Absolutely nothing.......have stayed in lots of hotels on this lengthy trip and these are by far the best.

Pros: The bed was very comfortable (I slept well!), the room clean, and the price was really reasonable considering that the room included a nearly full kitchen with cookware and serving items. (Everything but a conventional oven.) The hotel is tucked away in a quiet area, but shopping, restaurants, and main roads are close. I wasn't there long enough to do laundry, but knowing that the facilities are free, I might make a point of staying with this chain again when on a longer trip. Though I was on the first floor right off the lobby, the room was quiet.
Cons: Hot bath water could have been a bit warmer, but it was fine and guaranteed not to scald a child, which is an important consideration. Also, the room was a little dark, with brown carpet and dark cabinets. On the other hand, I really appreciated the picture on the wall -- better art than most!

Pros: Harish is awesome! He works the front desk and always has a smile on his face. I get a "welcome back!" everytime I go there and it really makes me feel at home and comfortable. The room always feels clean and fresh whenever I'm there. The kitchen is great and they even offer to let you borrow a blender if you need it.
Since I'm a business traveler I'm in the area frequently and they reached out to me to offer assistance with booking rooms. Great customer service!
Cons: There is nothing I can think of.
