Stayed 1 week for work as a Diamond member. The Candlewood Suite and the Holiday Inn are really just share one hotel. The front desk people are new and had difficulty with the computer and didn’t seem to know much about the amenities and benefits of different IHG status level. The hotel seems to be undergoing renovation and looks fairly new.
PROS: Fairly big suite with nice kitchen (large fridge and microwave), new looking and clean room, fairly quiet, strong toilet, nice hot breakfast at the restaurant/bar (comp for Diamond member).
CONS: very weak shower water pressure, terrible toilet paper, the kitchen did not have dish washing liquid or pad or any silverware; was not rewarded Green bonus points for not using housekeeping.
Overall, more good than bad, but they really need to do something about the shower water pressure.
