I had to wait 20mins for someone to come to the desk in order to check in. I was then advised that the elevator was out of service. Evidently, that was not something that just occurred because I was told later that they didn’t expect it to be repaired until next month. That aside, I found that he room to be spacious and clean.

We were contacted via phone about 15 minutes prior to our arrival & told the elevator was not working & they could not move us to a lower level. Because it was so late in the day, we felt it would be too difficult to book another hotel for our stay. Upon arrival, it appeared that the elevator had need non-functional for quite some time & they indicated that they weren’t given an exact date for repairs to be completed. They did offer help getting our luggage to the 3rd floor for us. We are in our late 60s & early 70s so appreciated the help. Our stay was to be for 4 nights. The next morning we checked again about when the elevator would be repaired & we’re told again they had no date for the repairs to be complete. We decided to cancel the remainder of our reservation & got a refund.

First Stay at Candlewood Suites - King Suite We had a pleasant 4-night stay at Candlewood Suites. While this property is not full-service and doesn’t offer daily housekeeping, the staff makes morning rounds to check if anything is needed. Our King Suite was spacious and comfortable, featuring a fully equipped kitchen, a walk-in closet, and a large desk with a nook. The TV had over 200 channels, including HBO, ESPN, and international options, perfect for late-night binging. The hotel offers a Lending Locker at the front desk, where you can borrow items like beach towels, books, and blenders. The location is excellent, with several shops, food chains, and banks nearby, including a 5-minute walk to Walgreens, Publix and a few bars. This convenience sets it apart from other lodging options in Clearwater/Safety Harbor. However, be aware that the elevator is currently out of order due to a lightning strike. If you have a lot of luggage or are traveling with children and a stroller, this could be an inconvenience in the 3-story property.

Beyond exceptionally clean, very friendly staff. The General Manager is also extremely kind and compassionate. I couldn’t have chose a better place for our first family vacation in Florida. I will always look for this place everywhere we travel to! I would say the TV thing could be updated, as it’s cable or something, and the younger generations, myself included, aren’t familiar with it. Everything was so great though, I’m very happy with everything

The pros for us were convenient location & friendly staff. Unfortunately, there were more cons than pros. There was an unpleasant odor on our floor - probably from full garbage can right next to elevator so it smacks you right as you step off. When entering the room there was a completely different unpleasant odor & we tried to identify it & our guess is it’s a combination of carpet, couch, & kitchen area that needs a deep cleaning or to be removed. The room itself is very large. Bed wasn’t horrible but definitely not comfortable. The bathroom is large but there’s caulk around tub with mildew. The towels were rough & thin. The property itself is dated & needs an overhaul.

The staff was very friendly and courteous. The hotel is located very close to several restaurants and a grocery store which is great since there is a refrigerator and and a stove to cook. The only things we noticed that could have been fixed were that the toilet rocked a little, the overhead light in the bottom of the microwave needed replacing as it did not light up and there was a roach that we found crawling on the floor. Other than that we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would gladly stay there again in the future as well as recommend to others.

The A/c never came on..it was very warm and uncomfortable the whole night. The following morning upon leaving the Hotel to visit family we inform the Front Desk clerk who was very helpful.she advise she will get the top maintence to go up to our room to check on A/C. When we got back to the hotel that evening we had a,/c. Another minor problem was the water pressure of the shower was low.m

As already discussed with the previous agent all through the night, Hotels.com show that they had availability then we went to check in after reserving the room. They had no available rooms whatsoever and it’s hard for me to even write this properly because my cousin and I have stayed at the candlewood before and we’re very familiar with the staff and they’ve always been great to us, howeverthey have we’re so overbooked and they felt so bad because we ended up having to sleep in the car actually reading didn’t get any sleep. We just stayed in the car. We’re exhausted for cranky. We don’t feel well and once again there was a disconnect between what Hotels.com showed and what the actual hotel had available that would be the third time in the past three weeks that that has happened to us and it’s not fun and it’s very frustrating.

Hotel is great. Was a little disappointed my room was given to someone else. Needed to wait for that person to vacate the room and the room to be cleaned again.

Other than the long wait to check in due to this mishap, the room was very spacious and hotel is clean and pleasant.
