I came here for my husbands basic training graduation and although the room being absolutely gorgeous, the room had roaches. The pool was freezing cold and it was dirty. The water was very murky. The rooms are gorgeous and staff was pleasant but the roaches and pool upkeep ruined the stay

This property served its purpose for my visit however, it was not clean. Mold in the shower and we saw a couple tiny roaches in the kitchen. The staff was polite and the grounds were kept clean. The surrounding area was convenient and we felt safe. Most of the guests are travel construction crews so the parking lot was full of trucks every evening. 10 minute drive to Ft. Jackson.

This was the worst Candlewood Suites we've ever stayed. The linens in the King Suite were literally molding, particularly the pillow cases. The bathroom was not clean and the provided bath soap was empty with the normally locked wall mount barely hanging on. The front desk did provide some mew linens, but claimed was washing so it would be at least an hour, so we went without. The next morning, went to make coffee in kitchenette and was met by roach on table top
