9.2/10 Wonderful! (81 reviews)
My son and I had a very pleasant stay at Candlewood Suites. The staff were all exceptionally friendly and helpful, which made us feel very welcome. Our room was clean and comfortable, and the beds were great for a good night’s rest. Breakfast offered a nice variety — a typical American selection with a little bit of everything to start the day.
We also appreciated that the hotel is pet-friendly, as we were traveling with our miniature Goldendoodle. The on-site dog park was a wonderful bonus! The location is very convenient, and overall, we truly enjoyed our stay. We would definitely choose this hotel again in the future.

7.4/10 Good! (831 reviews)
The area around the smoking section was littered with cigarette butts and other trash. The inside was clean and the staff was amazing. The beds and pillows were both a little to firm for our liking. We checked out two days early and was told they'd try to get a refund but I never heard anything from them. Overall Good

4/5 - Good
Verified traveler
Two Aquariums that can be accessed all day was very enjoyable
5/5 - Excellent
Verified traveler
The river portion of the aquarium was a nice change from the typical ocean based aquariums I am used to. I will say though, the ocean side was a bit of a let down after seeing the river side. Fun nonetheless.
5/5 - Excellent

Coming from California, wasn't sure what to expect. Rivers is very well done!
5/5 - Excellent
Verified traveler
Great place to bring kids. I am in my twenties and my boyfriend and I enjoyed it even without the kids. It is also great walking distance to the TN river and restaurants.
5/5 - Excellent
Verified traveler
Do NOT go during field trip season or mornings with field trips the kids will ruin your time in there. If their are no field trip groups its excellent
5/5 - Excellent
Verified traveler
The River aquarium was better with more to look at and experience. If you can only do one (River or Ocean), choose the River. Don't park in the lot in front, go to the parking garage two blocks down by the Marriot.
