10 out of 10!

This was the cleanest hotel I’ve ever stayed at. The room was extremely clean. A 10 out of 10. The hotel had an appearance that it was brand new. The dishes and silverware had a shine to them. The bed was very comfortable and the were crispy clean.

4/10 Fair

12 hours too many!

We stayed for one night while visiting UDel. The room had a smell and we were forced to turn off the heat due to the loud blowing sound. But the fridge also made a loud buzzind sound that we were unable to turn off. We would have left, but it was late and we had an early morning tour. We both woke up with red eyes that cleared by noon, but have never had that happen before. There was only one garbage in a cabinet that was extremely inconvienent.

Excellent Customer Service

Our stay was awesome. The staff was very helpful and had excellent customer service. We will definitely be staying there again our next trip to Delaware, and telling family and friends about Candlewood. The sugar cookies and hot chocolate is an awesome touch that they provide.

Had a kitchen. Free laundry must purchase detergent. Thiese were a plus. Bed was comfortable. Only thing was shower curtain too short & water got onto floor.
