Excellent staff. Was very helpful and understood that my son was traveling on military orders to NAS JAX. Allowed us to stay a little longer to finish up our items before leaving. I’ve been impressed with Candlewood Suites and they have always been amazing places to stay at. Will come back again.
Staff was excellent but having a recliner saved my back

Liked: Cleanliness
Disliked: Amenities
The room was clean and bedding was comfortable. The soap dispensers were low and could have been filled up better. The internet was definitely very slow and difficult to communicate with. TV’s need to be upgraded to smart TV to have greater selection.
This is the second time I have stayed at this location and it's does not disappoint. The place is comfortable, and clean! Updated, and just all around good quality. Cleanliness is top notch and the staff are very friendly! It's located conveniently also!
There wasn't much around the hotel as it sits back off a main road, but it was quiet and clean. Bed was nice I appreciated the thicker comforter as I'm always cold
