What guests think

At Candlewood Suites Macon by IHG, guests frequently highlight clean, comfortable rooms and friendly staff, while also encountering an older property undergoing renovation, occasional maintenance hiccups, and limited on-site amenities such as the lack of breakfast.

Facilities feel mixed: reports include a closed or untidy pool at times, a useful grilling area, gym and laundry access, safe well-lit parking, and a pantry that can be inconsistent or sell expired items. Room experiences vary from spacious, quiet, and well equipped with kitchenettes to issues like old mattresses, noisy refrigerators, odors, and occasional hot-water, TV, or Wi-Fi problems. The location is convenient for interstate travel with many nearby dining options, though proximity to train tracks and occasional late-night activity are drawbacks. Overall, expect a practical stay with trade-offs during renovation.

The place is getting worse. The pool area was not regularly cleaned up and the guests were happy to leave it a mess. There was dog mess outside the elevator. TV went out for an entire evening and night. They didn't honor my request for a low floor even though I booked well in advance. I'll be looking for another place for my stays in Macon.

The property is conveniently located to shopping, dining, and major highways - quiet and convenient. The room was small, but it and the bedding was comfortable. The kitchenette was well equipped with stovetop, dishwasher, and full sized refrigerator. There was no food service, however, and the pantry's refrigerator was broken, so there were no food items available other than snacks.

The property itself could use some updating, but what stood out most was that while being pet-friendly, the staff was lacking. Allow me to explain: our dog had an accident on the bed and we called down to ask for a change of sheets and bedding, etc. We were advised to take the bedding to the laundry facility and wash it ourselves!!! We spent all night going back and forth to check on the laundry, to make sure items were cleaned and dried. When I say ALL NIGHT, I am NOT joking. It took forever to get the bedding dry. I just don't think I will ever stay at a Candlewood or IHG facility again. Left us feeling tired and just not happy about our stay. NEVER been treated that way before while traveling with our dog.

It was perfect for what we required for our 9 day stay. Access to gym, laundry, all the food and grocery outlets very close by, even walking distance. Very quiet considering it was next to the highway and train. Staff were very friendly when we needed assistance. Hot water, great water pressure, safe parking. Definitely recommend Candlewood.

The carpet throughout the entire room was DISGUSTING and sticky. Our shoes were sticking to the floor. Every single chair in the room was stained and sticky. We reserved the king bedroom suite which consisted of a living room and kitchen area and a bedroom with a door. The ONLY source of air conditioning/heating was in the living room area. For the bedroom, they have cut a hole in the wall, placed approximately 1 foot by 1 foot fan in the wall between the living room and bedroom. It was 80 degrees when we arrived so I had to go out and purchase a fan just so we could get a bit of air flow. As I was checking out the next morning, the attendant asked about our stay. When I explained why I stated it was horrible, she said she would let the manager know and offered to give me IHG points for the inconvenience.

What I did NOT like is that thee was no hot water the night I stayed nor was there any hot water the next morning. I let the shower run for 20 minutes the night and for 20 minutes them morning and never had hot water. This was very disappointing as I had driven over 900 miles and wanted a hot shower. When I mentioned this to the front desk, I was told that in that room the shower controls were backward and hot was cold and cold was hot. This was a poor attempt to explain no hot water. If it was so, I should have been informed. However, it was NOT so, as I tried that tactic and still had no hot water. I should be given a full refund for the lackluster accomodations and for the staff lying to me. Very, very disappointed in Candlewood.

I arrived at 2:35 to shower, get dressed and attend an event at 5. The person not at the desk who I had to call on a phone, told me there were no clean rooms and she did not know when my room would be available, but she would call me. I went to another hotel next door and got a room. The Candlewood Suites never called to tell me my room was available and they refused to refund my money although I stayed somewhere else. They breached the contract, (no room) and kept my payment. THEY ARE DISHONEST THIEVES.
