Candlewood Suites Annapolis by IHG

Ok, but the smell………..and the hair. They are renovating, and we were able to stay in one of the newly renovated rooms. The renovations are lovely, so kudos to the owners/managers for that. What bothered me was the smell of the place. It was just an overwhelming floral smell that started when you entered the building and intensified to its crescendo upon entering the room. It is not a clean smell, it is a smell that makes you wonder what they are trying to cover up. Although the renovated rooms are “new” I didn’t feel like they were especially clean. In particular, the shower had hair from a previous guest, which grosses me out completely. Sorry, it just does. Finally, the location is a little off the beaten path. With the weird cork board, coat hanging plaque, and renovations that include a kitchenette, it seems that this establishment may be trying to lure longer term guests.

Unhappy hotel stay, Annapolis Homestyle SSuites The room we had was almost at the end of the hallway, which meant we had to walk a distance to our room. Having a broken leg, well that wasn't the best first impression. The bathroom wasn't the cleanest, the bathtub was dirty. There was dirt in and on it, looked like no one had cleaned it in a long time. The roach in the middle of the night on the counter wasn't something I wanted to see ever! I killed it with a towel and left it for housekeeping to find. Hopefully they saw it and took it for cleaning and the next guest didn't get to find it. The kitchen was old, very old in that the cabinets were peeling and no dishes or pots/pans, silverware, nothing if you wanted to use the kitchen. Oh except for the fridge, it actually worked, not that I would have put anything into it. We were only in town for one night for a 70th birthday party, and paid $150+ and would have driven home after it had I known the way this hotel rented its rooms. Upon leaving, there was coffee, but as far as breakfast, there were only 3 nut bars left and only 1 selection of oatmeal (thank goodness we like that type), We ended up eating at the Cheesecake Factory for breakfast. I will stick to an IHG Hotel in the future. Never been disappointed with any of their hotels, and they always have a decent breakfast to offer their guests.

Pet Friendly Stay The place is clean, if a little tired, and has a regular apartment-size refrigerator, cooktop, microwave and sink in the mini kitchen area. The bed was good. Checking in with a pet was simple. There is a $25/night fee but no security deposit like some other places. A grassy area, and bags!, are provided for dog walking. There is a mini breakfast Grab 'n Go set up in the lobby.

Perfect for what we needed Straight forward and it was perfect for what we needed. Friendly staff. Shoutout to the gentleman working laundry the night of 4/12 who helped us and the woman who checked us out 4/13 I’m sorry I didn’t get your names!

Great place with low price Dealing with extended stay I have had a great experience with them the staff is excellent very nice and helpful the make you feel welcome I wouldn't want to go to another hotel when I come to visit my room was very clean and smelled good
