What is your IHG Rewards Club status?
Spire

Were you (or for multi-stayers are you generally) happy with the hotel/stay?
Yes

Which room did you book and which upgrade did you receive?
I needed a cash and points stay to complete the Accelerate offer and this was $40 + 5000 points to get back over 28,000 points in bonus. And I had a flight the next morning out of Dulles. So I booked a standard suite and that's what I got. I hadn't been to a Candlewood in years and the previous time in LA County it wasn't that nice. But this one is very good.

How are the rooms?
Newly renovated room with microwave, electric stove top, full sized fridge, dishwasher and very nice cabinetry. Bed was comfortable.

How is the exec. lounge?
None, but they have a nice combined fitness room and laundry with plenty of machines.

What was good and what was bad?

Good:
- Short drive to IAD
- Newly renovated rooms
- Free parking
- They seem to really try hard to please guests and get new business.

Bad:
- The door to the adjoining room lets in some noise if your neighbor is loud. Otherwise all was fine.

Value for $ or IHG Rewards Club Points? Would you return?
Great value either way you pay.
