Good cheap place when you are playing baseball in hoover. BBQ was good. Showers were hot and water pressure was great. Free laundry service was very nice and came in handy washing jerseys. Kitchen in the room was also great. Pool was warm as we stayed in the summer and was quiet.

Disappointed that the swimming pool was not available during our stay. Also it seemed like the exterior of the building and the reception area were updated, nice new and clean - but the rooms themselves seemed older, cramped and out of style. Big difference between the exterior look and the quality of the rooms themselves.

The front desk was very helpful. The hotel itself, however, smelled like an overuse of cleaning products yet it was dirty everywhere. We had multiple rooms and all were disgusting - clogged shower drains, dirty tubs, stains and burn marks on carpet, paint on towels, hairballs in the bed. I have never seen a Candlewood Suites in this condition.
