The hotel was about what you would expect. It was a solid 3 star type property. There aren't any upscale options in Wake Forest itself so we chose this since the hotel claims to be recently renovated. Overall the hotel was clean. We stayed in a studio suite that had a mini kitchen which would be nice if you had an extended stay. They supply free coffee 24 hours and have water and other items available for purchase.

We have stayed at the Candlewood Suites in Wake Forest several times and it is consistently outstanding! From the front staff welcoming you to the manager who always has a kind word it continues to be our first choice when visiting family. The accommodations are fresh/clean and updated. The bed is extremely comfortable, kitchen and bathroom are constantly stocked with top products. TV reception never fails. Besides the outstanding upkeep within the rooms the hallways are always vacuumed and clean alongside the elevator. The gym is excellent and the coffee/tea area with snacks to purchase are well stocked. Excellent value for your money! In addition, this location is very close the great food, gas, drug stores and major stores along the highway.

Just a 2 star place to sleep. No breakfast, no daily/regular housekeeping. Takes days for them to empty out trash bin in hallways, corridors. No specific services. No very friendly and welcoming staff.

Had a nice stay at Candlewood. A couple of small snafus, but they worked out. It was clean, convenient and not to far out from my family. Kitchen was nice. Shopping and restaurants close by. The housekeeping staff was excellent! Overall it was a nice stay!
