Well, this is great inside information here. I have to say, from the website and brochures the Candlewood suites look pretty good actually, a nice bargain if you will. And the redemption rate of only 11k / night, I can see why they are so popular with lots of families. However, after hearing more and more people reference these quality problems with them I think I might be looking more towards Staybridge when I need a long term place.
