Verified traveller

Disliked: Staff & service
I made a reservation online, but was told at check-in that rooms were overbooked. I would have to wait while the staff cleaned up one the rooms if I wanted to stay. It was late at night, so I asked for a refund instead. The staff told me she would call the site I made the reservation through for a refund, and left my phone number to be contaced in case something came up. I patiently waited for the refund, but almost 2 weeks later, I had not seen the refund. I called back Candlewood Suites to inquire about it, and was told I needed call back when another staff came in later that day that could access third party booking sites. I called back later, but to my disappointment, was told that I would have to call the site myself. It was upsetting to hear that nothing had been done by the hotel staff and I was also not contacted by them that I would need to make the call myself. My experience with the hotel and staff were terrible and I have never encountered anything like this in all of my hotel stays. First, I was told no rooms were available, then I was told different things by different staff about getting my refund. The ways that things were handled were unorganized, unprofessional, and nothing that someone should have experienced. I would never book a stay here again and would not recommend to anyone else.

This was a great place to stay for an extended stay in Bemidji. I didn’t want to eat all my meals out, so I specifically chose this property for the kitchen. You’re never going to get a gourmet kitchen in a hotel, but it was more than adequate. However, if people are going to be cooking in their rooms, the hotel should furnish a couple of other cleaning supplies, specifically a broom. Also, trash service would be appreciated. I understand as an extended stay place, you don’t provide daily housekeeping, but trash service should be a bare minimum. Overall it was a great property. The bathroom was large, the bed comfortable, and the amenities of the property were well maintained.

Poor Value
Assigned room had not been serviced. Had to return to the desk for another room. Feeble apology. For $200+ charge, room should have had a K bed. No ice in hotel. Had to make own in room fridge meaning none available at check in.

This place is excellent. The beds and linens were new and of good quality. Everything was clean and the staff was friendly. The full kitchen was a nice surprise. There is a nice grocery store nearby where we pickup up a few items to prepare our meals. We will definitely come again.

It was very nice and it has many nice accomodations in the space a desk and a small kitchen and it was all up to date and of a wealthy look to it. It didn't stink of smoke or much traffic noise if you shut the window. There wasn't a load fan or ac either but it was a comfortable temperature.
