Good for pets, not families wanting a quiet night's sleep
I have been business traveling for nearly 20 years, staying hundreds of nights in hotels over that time. We had a family event in the Columbus, OH, so we all stayed at the Candlewood Suites in Polaris. The stay was by far the worst hotel experience I have ever had. I had a dog that barked every time a door slammed in the area (and there were lots of those). I tried to change rooms, but the hotel was sold out. We switched with my in-laws but the room we went to must have had elephants staying above us by the sound of their walking above us. I was hoping for a relaxing, quiet night of sleep and got a miserable night sleep with a snarky, condescending staff attitude of, 'what do you expect me to do about it?' and 'you kind of have to expect this.' I could continue with my list of other observations, but that's enough. I plan to never stay in a Candlewood Suites again – if my only choice was sleeping in my car or this hotel, I would pick the car.
