I was really pleased with my stay. I did a lot of reading before I stayed at this place, but I didn't have much of a choice due to finances at the time. Admittedly, after reading others' reviews, I was really concerned. A friend of mine used his Holiday Inn points to pay for our stay. I was frankly shocked and ecstatic to find that the experience was so favorable. There were two couples staying in one of the Queen suites with the fold-out couch. The cleanliness of the room was acceptable; the staff was friendly. I don't mind getting my own towels and not having someone clean my room on a daily basis (I'm paranoid, the less they're in my room, the better), so these conditions did not bother me. It was great for four people - the privacy of the separate "bedroom" was invaluable. I can easily imagine an extended stay being comfortable. The fridge/dinette area allowed us to eat cereal in-room in the mornings and cool/store bottled water. They give you a complimentary bag of popcorn and a few other amenities. Location is FANTASTIC. I go to Vegas a lot, so I really don't want to stay on the strip. The novelty is lost on me with strip hotels, and I enjoy the quiet of off-strip accommodations. This place is great for that, and its location allows you to bypass the strip traffic while maintaining easy access to all the casinos. The pool area was clean and appeared to be well maintained...the hot tub was a welcome treat for aching feet at the end of a long day. I can't say that this was a life-changing experience, but I'd definitely stay there again. For the price, it can't be beat.

My room seemed dirty from the moment I walked in last night. I slept with my socks on - just in case - and didn't touch anything I didn't have to. But this morning I almost had a heart attack with I unfurled my towel to dry off and there was a giant hair ball (the size of my hand!) lying in wait. (Without my contacts in, at first I thought it was a huge bug.) Totally grossed out, I dressed as quickly as possible and hurried downstairs, where the morning front desk supervisor comp'd my room. I don't care about the free room, I would never advise anyone stay there unless you don't care about the cleanliness of your room!

In addition, a few more complaints about the property:
- my room was cold and the thermostat had to be set to at least 74 to turn off the air conditioning
- the property is under the flight path to McCarran Airport so all night long, there are tons of airplanes flying overhead
- upon checking in, the front desk staff mentioned the complimentary pantry of food, but when I went for a snack it's an honor-system pay set-up
- the clock in my room was set 2 hours fast with both alarms "on" and no instructions for fixing it (I was able to turn off the alarms, but never did figure out how to change the clock) and finally...
- at 9:10pm the front desk staff called to check on how my room was. (What if I had already been asleep?)

Visiting Vegas for the first time during a peak period (superbowl weekend) there was little accommodation on offer. The Candlewood Suites, although off-strip are within walking distance to everything. If you were feeling lazy a taxi would be at the door within minutes.
The room was clean and very spacious, especially for the low price we paid.

I loved the "convenience store" and the honesty system (take what you need, fill in a form stating what it is and leave in a box for reception). The prices were so good I can't imagine anyone trying to rip them off and the convenience of it was fantastic.

I imagine this place would be great for a long stay. Sadly I was only there for two days. :o(

We stayed at the Candlewood Suites for 2 nights in September. We knew we were going to be off strip but we really happy with the location. Our room was really nice with a kitchenette. And the swimming pool was lovely after a long day sightseeing. They have a little shop where you can buy things and leave money which was really handy as well. We walked to the strip and back both days we were there – the walk there isn’t too bad but it feels a bit longer on the way back after a few drinks and walking round the Casinos but it is doable. We ate at Terribles one night which was pretty good and very cheap! The staff were really helpful and I would definitely recommend this place if you’re looking somewhere cheap to stay in Vegas. We stayed at the Bellagio for 2 more nights so it was a good way for us to have longer in Vegas but not pay really high prices the whole time we were there.
