“Great balance of price and comfort”

I was very impressed with the Candlewood Suites. I needed a "functional" place to stay that wasn't expensive. The price was great and the hotel was better than functional. My room had everything I needed plus there was a great onsite "store" with laundry and microwave goodies to buy (including a fast-cook meal).

“great service”

freindly service

“Very nice”

The room was very clean and was surprised with a very nice kitchenette incase we wanted to eat in the room. It had all the comforts of home. The location of the motel was perfect too for shopping convenience.

“Great value for the money”

Great value for the money. I will look for another Candlewood the next time I travel.

“Nice Stay”

Good location and newly remodeled spacious rooms. Great staff. Easy on and off to I-80. Will book this motel again.

“Very comfortable stay”

I normally do not stay in hotels, preferring b and b's, but we were going to a wedding in Des Moines and needed to stay near the venue. So I was pleasantly surprised to really enjoy my stay there. The room, a studio with a full kitchen and a king size bed, was clean and comfortable. There was an excellent work out room, and a small "store" where you could buy basic supplies, plus a free laundry room and a CD/DVD library. The hotel staff was very friendly and helpful. There is not much in that neighborhood, however. It is in an office park, with several fast food and family restaurants nearby. There is a lovely park across the street with a good walking/running path around two small ponds. It's also close to the highway and so it is easy and quick to travel downtown and to other neighborhoods.

“good for the price”

Clean and friendllystaff. Bed could have been more comfortable, but all in all a good value.

“Candlewood Suites”

This was one of the best hotels we've stayed at :)

“Not real impressed”

This hotel was clean and the staff was friendly but the hotel needs to be updated. These is not a pool and locating the hotel sign was hard. This place would be good for long term stays but not real nice for family. I would suggest staying somewhere else. Rates are steep for what was offered.

“Not Bad”

It's Iowa so you can't expect a ton. Rooms were clean, bed wasn't bad... fron desk was very old school with a variety of CD's and VHS's for rent :) Yes, I said VHS's!
