Candlewood Suites Appleton by IHG

Was a Nice Stay Where to start. Check in was quick, though I was acknowledged as a member, did not get any "treats' per se. They are doing construction but signage was up and while we stayed there was not any noise from that. The room was clean, supplied well for glasses and making very simple meals. Who ever put them away last, they were not dry, and either stuck to the cabinet or with the bowls, had sitting water in them. You can do your laundry there at no charge, just have your own soap and dryer sheets unless you want to purchase that. There was no pool, no breakfast, but we knew that when we booked the room. The bed was pretty good, and the pillows were excellent. Not these put you head on it and it goes flat type. Room was really dark with shades closed and no road traffic was quiet for a decent nights rest. The only thing was the room temp, they had signage, which from what I gather this is the latest in hotels/temps, but in the bedroom it seemed to be hot and no way to bring it down. I kept kicking off covers, putting that back, kick off, put it back. They had plenty of towels, and the air freshener was on full blast which hit you when you walked into the room. Did not purchase anything from the "store" as the items there were way over priced. Overall, enjoyed the stay and would stay there again if passing through the area.

Great Experience The room was very clean and had the things that I needed for a comfortable, one-night stay. The pillows were the best that I have experienced in a long time. The next morning brought about 6 inches of snow but did not have to worry about the sidewalk to the parking lot. The crew there had the sidewalk cleared. Very convenient location to the airport. Would definitely stay here again!

Old Reliable Come here just about every year for the Packers game. No frills. Good bed. Clean. Right off Rte 41, College Ave which has all the restaurants etc. The road is somewhat hidden but actually makes it quieter than being closer than being closer to the main drag.

Will not stay again My usual hotels in the area we’re booked but from outward appearance this one seemed fine, however I will not be coming back. Check in his somewhat typical of IHG though more motel like with the lack of a lobby area and having to fill in your license plate etc. Was given a room on the first floor despite being a platinum IHG member and always requesting a higher floor but that’s fine. Got to the room and while it was large it was very dated and dark but after a couple of minutes in the room I realize there was a smell that was unavoidable. I looked around a bit to determine the source and I’m still not sure but it was bad and I started to get concerned about it getting into my clothes. Then all the sudden I noticed but it sounded like heavy machinery or some thing and realized this room is not going to work if I’m going to get any sleep. I stay at a lot of hotels for work and this is only the second time I have ever requested to change rooms. I went to the front desk and asked if it was possible and gave her the reasons for which she did not seem particularly concerned other than to say she would not be doing laundry all night. That sound was laundry?!? She was able to find another room on the first floor which was smaller but again not a big deal. Room again was very dated, the bathroom fan comes on with the light switch and is extremely loud so if anyone else was trying to watch TV forget that. There is a tiny convenience store with snacks and microwave meals but no other food or breakfast options. The bed was surprisingly OK but did not take a shower as it simply just did not look inviting and it took a solid five minutes to get warm water out of the sink. You can clearly hear other people did use the shower however. Maybe the worst part is I have stayed at much better hotels in the exact same area for the same money but shame on me for booking late. Will not stay here again, even though the previous occupants left beer in the fridge (eye roll)

Quiet and comfy Nice and quiet. Good for a 1 night stop. Not a lot of amenities like a pool or breakfast, but it met our needs. The kitchen had a full assortment of utensils and other items, plus the office had the ability to borrow other items such as a blender if we had the need. We didn’t need those, but it’s nice to know for the future.
