If was a safe place to stay for the night. When we opened the refrigerator we saw there was food left in it. The walls and furniture look like they haven’t been cleaned in a while. The tub is not in good condition.

It’s pretty gross here. I wasn’t expecting the Four Seasons but our room had literal dirt and stains all over the walls, the light switches, the counter tops etc. Nothing was clean except for the bed. The toilet seat was disgusting and looked like it had been there since the 80s. We had ants crawling all over the bathroom floor. If it weren’t for the LSU game which was the only reason we stayed there, we would’ve left and demanded a refund. My skin was crawling the whole time. Even the rug felt gross and we wore our shoes until we got into bed bc it was too dirty to be barefoot. Yuck. Would never recommend or stay here again. Shame on Candlewood suites for their incredibly poor housekeeping.

The property was centrally located but the smell inside was over whelming and the elevator on its last leg. I thought and IHG hotel would have been nicer.
