The floor was damp and it was very sticky and humid in the room. The handles in the bathroom were noticeably rusted. I found a chunk of food on the curtains. Not what I expected for what I paid.

As good as it gets
We selected Candlewood because they have recliners in the room. It didn't work but i was able to repair it. The night manager made every effort to accomodate us. The hotel was being remodeled. I believe given the remodel the room and facility were clean as they could be. It was not as clean as it should have been. Given the state of the industry, this is what i expect for a room for less than 200 per night.

Room was good, the hotel was under some remodeling? But not my room. Staff was very nice and helpful and friendly. Unfortunately, there was only one coffee to make in the room & the complimentary coffee in lobby was terrible, brown muddy color. Outside sitting areas in the back were good

Studios not suites.
This property should be called "Candlewood Studios" because the rooms aren't suites. Just a standard room with a kitchenette added to the corner. During our 5 night stay, our room smelled of fish from day one, and the smell never went away. The microwave didn't work & one of the bedside lamps didn't work. There was a hole in the curtains and the bathroom sink had a slow leak that caused a small permanent puddle on the countertop. These issues were brought up with the reception desk on our first day and we're never fixed. Wouldn't stay here again.

Property is in a great location. Room and amenities were definitely subpar for the price paid. Staff tried to be accommodating but even after moving rooms the same issues arose. Non-working TV. AC that didn’t work properly. Not what I would have expected after paying 200.00 USD per night. I’ve had better rooms in Austin paying half as much.

We have stayed at this hotel many times in the past 8 years. We were always pleased. However this time , there was an unpleasant odor upon entering the front door. The carpets were worn and stained in the hallways. Renovations of rooms on our floor caused noise and hallway clutter. We did not have but two towels in the room upon arrival. We went to front desk to ask for hand towels. The coffee was out of cream and no sugar available. The desk employees were pleasant. We have season football tickets and have enjoyed the stay in the past but Not sure if we will book our upcoming stays at this location.
