| - After a long red-eye flight + layover in Chicago, we arrived at the hotel at 9:30AM bleary-eyed and ready to knock out. We were immediately placed in an open room even though it was 2+ hrs before standard check-in time. A four hour nap later, I was already prepared to give Candlewood a 5 star-rating! Butttt I decided to wait out my 2 week stay before posting a comprehensive review. The verdict:
Room - Our studio suite was spacious and modern. Kitchen appliances were clean and well-maintained, as were all of the dishes and utensils. I didn't find noise to be a huge issue like other reviewers did, but I did stay in a room all the way at the end of the hall on the top floor.
Amenities - Free laundry for guests + pool/gym, as well as DVD/CD checkout. I thought the movies were pretty up to date, but then again I'm not very up to date with movies..
Location - Need a bar?? No worries! Great Dane Pub is a short stumble away. Drunchies after pounding down those beers? Toss some junk food into your shopping cart at the Copps next door. Need coffee for that hangover? Starbucks is just a turn down the street on McKee. So perfect. Centrally located, with everything you could possibly need just a few blocks away.
Management - The front desk was super friendly and accommodating to our needs, be it back-to-back movie check-outs or..a wrench. They definitely went out of their way to make our stay comfortable.
Overall, I would definitely recommend Candlewood to anyone who is on an extended trip in Wisconsin. Thank you, Candlewood, for being my home away from home. (:
Tip: Take advantage of the complementary shuttle to and from the airport, it will save you cab fare!
