Candlewood Suites San Diego

Hotel circle location was very convenient only a few miles from Sea World and San Diego Zoo.

Great room and service..Fast and friendly clean room ..very spacious.

We arrived at the hotel at 450 and there was a sign at the front desk stating that an employee had left and would return shortly. It was almost 30 minutes before an employee returned to the desk. The lobby also had a smell of urine from an animal. The beds we’re very very firm I know some people like that but it made for a hard night of sleep. The couch bed had also seen better days. When we turned on the ac unit a few ants crawled out so a little bit of a surprise. The hotel has very assessable parking and is close to most things.

It’s located in hotel circle, so it wasn’t that bad for a location. Got a room that’s pretty big and easy access from the parking lot to the room

We checked in at around 4:18 pm The front desk attendant Rosha. Sorry not sure how to spell his name, was wonderful, very helpful. To the point that assisted my husband who was unable to get off the recliner in the room. Good experience.

This may be a Candlewood now but it started it's life as some other motel (doors outside on the back which isn't seen on the photos). It's been remodeled - sort of - and the room was OK but not what we were expecting based on past Candlewood experiences. The staff were curt - and if you needed anything, YOU had to go to the desk and wait to get it from them. Oh - and parking is "available" but costs $10 per night. Really, for over $200/night, you can let me park in your designated (and not full) lot during my stay. Be aware of the elevator - it makes a large clunk at the start and end but got us there OK each time. The kitchenette in the room was somewhat sad - we had 2 of everything (2 bowls, 2 cups, 2 spoons, etc.) and four of us. Many of the drawers didn't stay closed so you had to watch your shins/thighs when you went by as they were rolling open. It suited our needs as we didn't spend much time there but definitely did not meet our expectations as a Candlewood hotel.

Traveling with the family and a service dog. Beware: They do not honor requests for service animals. Over the phone before booking and at check in everything was great. However, when checking out they tried to charge extra fees we were told twice previously did not apply. I provided our service animal credentials.

We had a 2 bedroom suite. The beds were comfotable. I wish the lighting was a little brighter. our recliner and Office chair has definately seen better days. Free Laundry and ample parking were a plus.

This was a last minute suite reservation. Great location, ample parking and suite was very nice. Highly recommend it for anyone who wants to feel like home while out on vacation.
