They did not have any pet friendly rooms which are on the first floor. They allowed us to stay on the second floor room but at double the pet fee. I have not had this problem at other Candlewood properties. Also the parking lot was dark and some unkempt men were loitering by the hotel. And there were rust stains on the bath tub. The front staff wrote down all of the information on my drivers license which no hotel staff have ever done. I would not return to this hotel. There are at least 5 hotels within walking distance.

I like the room set up with a mini kitchen, work out center, front desk service was nice and courteous. We did not like that there wasn't a continental breakfast and hot tub/pool area for adults.

Well, if I would’ve known there were no pool or hot tub or really any facilities to offer I wouldn’t have stayed there. I wouldn’t have even booked it.

The shower water temperature was lukewarm and the kitchenette sink water was cold. The outside garbage was overflowing. Breakfast is not offered. There are too many other options in the area to ever choose to stay here again.

Staff was very nice and helpful. We were assigned a room that was obviously used by people with pets. It smelled pretty bad. Staff came and sprayed and did their best to help. It stilled smelled when we returned from dinner later that night and then when we returned the next evening too. Would suggest letting people choose if they would be ok with a pet room. To us, it was similar to having stayed in a smoking room. We would not have chosen it. But the hotel and our room was very clean otherwise. Walkable to bar/restaurants.

This place is weird. Very dull staff. TV in room doesn’t work and everything is on motion sensor in the room. So if you are reading a book in the chair and don’t move for a while, the lights go out. Then you have to wave your arms around awkwardly to get them back on. That was annoying. The AC also on motion sensor so you wake up in the middle of the night multiple times sweating because the AC shut down. I’ve stayed at Candlewood’s in Bellevue NE and Ft. Wayne IN that were awesome. But this one in Elkhart IN just sucks.

We had a reservation and went to check in (after the concert we attended that we were in town for), and they had given away our room and said the hotel was full. What good was having the reservation if they were just going to give our rooms away to the first come first serve?
