Candlewood Suites Hotels in Richmond

＋ Good, clean bed + Staff were pleasant ＋Interior/Exterior Lighting, quiet location +Grounds were nice - but a lot of litter and debris needed to be picked up +Kristen, head housekeeping, was responsive, even doing some of the work other staff should be doing - Spartan appointments - Poor routine maintenance of fixtures - Fridge squealed all night - Lobby Coffee machine broken the whole time. * （This was actually our lasting memory of the place as we checked out. We understand things break, but problem was the hotel had no backup dispensers of any kind.） They should have rented a commercial unit or acquired hot coffee dispensers the very same day it broke! How long has the ”Out of Order” sign been up now?? -In room coffee packets as bad as we've ever encountered (sorry) - The hotel does not offer recycling facilties to guests - The hotel does not practice or train employees to do any recycling-- this is below IHG's own standards - Kit. Sink was clogged - Sink disposer wouldn't turn on - Room sofa and lounge chair well past replacement age. Heavily sunken in and not clean. -All of the laundry machines had very long-term prior use residue built up in them, some had prior-guest debris-- one washer to the point it couldn't drain. So clothes were left pickling in dirtier water than when we put them in. -Considering the number of appliance internal maintenance issues we kept encountering, we didn't feel comfortable drinking from the lobby ice maker or water machines. -Part-time staff (no name given) didn't notate our extended checkout. Unaware of IHG member status. Didn't bother to pull up the room in the computer. Just as if we never made the request. -Other staff couldn't answer basic questions such as about the room charges we didn't recognize - Besides being undertrained compared to other IHG properties, most staff didn't wear name tag or provide their name on the phone. No accountability for ineptitude or needed training. Summary: Not well managed. Overall showed a lot of maintenance deficiencies and staff training issues. More than other properties. Over 40 years of IHG stays.

We stayed at this hotel just for night but it was very good experience, room were with new furniture, full kitchen that was awesome because we were travelling with kids and in this hotel I had opportunity to cook breakfast for them, also outside there is a grill area with sitting places what is very nice , so, we had a very good experience with this hotel
