Candlewood Suites Oklahoma City

The older gentlemen with a mustache at the counter was super friendly and helpful. The room was clean, spacious, and modern. Great value for our money! Would stay here again without a doubt.

The internet SUCKS!!!
There is no breakfast, but wait you can get a whopping 10% of food at the local restaurants right near the hotel (yawn…)
They cleaned my room and kept the towels :(
$ 98 dollars a night is NOT worth the cost. If you can get this place for the lower rates AND tolerate the tiresome internet struggles then this place would be a SOLID 2.5 to 3 stars.
The big take away:
Average to below average.

FAA long term, this is a good place to stay. 10 minutes from academy, no freeway needed, walking distance to restaurants and bars. Room very clean and looks like new remodel just like in the photos, free parking, free internet, free laundry, 3 washers and 6 dryers. Front desk staff very friendly. Insist on getting a room at top floor and down the hall away from elevator to avoid noise from units above. If top floor is all booked ask to be moved once a room becomes free. No pool, tub or hoops to play ball but you do get IHG points. If you don’t care for hotel points a better choice might be
, same distance from academy, fully furnished 1 bedroom condos and they match the per diem. Beware of Isola bella, the photos look great but the guys who stayed there complained it was far from academy, 40 minutes on average, might not look far on map but keep in mind Oklahoma speed limit is 30 mph. The free food, I was told, looked like a science lab project and the location is ghetto. Most FSDO drones are being told to shop at Walmart for groceries. If you have any standards avoid Walmart and go to Crest Foods at the 10 601 S May Ave location, it’s a few minutes south of the academy and you won’t regret it!!!

Im here for work, and I wish I would have taken more time to find a better place. This place is close to the FAA training area and there are far worse places to stay. Clean rooms: mostly. Once a week cleanings, which for me is plenty. You won’t get all your towels and stuff back without asking though. This week, I had to ask for a shower curtain. I didn’t bother trying to get my kitchen towels back (they have a shortage?).
My biggest problem, the Internet. Terrible Internet here, really really bad. I had to call the tech support number just to get my stuff working. It drops completely multiple times a day. Slow as hell most times.
I got lucky with a room with only one neighbor. But the person upstairs is either huge, stomps everywhere they go, or the floors up there suck. I work with people who drive 5 to 10 minutes farther and have a much better place. One such hotel, has a bar, amazing Internet, and serves meals at no extra charge.
So, I will never stay here again and from what I hear, the expressway is the area to find a much better place.

Cozy long term place to stay.
Had the pleasure of staying here for the last 20 days and I would return. The Staff from the maids to the desk personnel are exceptionally friendly and helpful. The desk clerk Renee always greeted me with a pretty smile and superb customer service. She even brought in a movie from home for me borrow to watch in my room.
Rooms are recently remodeled and very nice. The square footage is a bit too small, however the excellent use of soace makes up for it. I had a large flat screen (with HDMI connections) in the room. Shower head is high (good for us taller guys) and the water was always hot when needed. Full kitchen with full size fridge and microwave. The AC units are a bit undersized for the rooms, so had to keep it on 65 the entire time to keep the whole place at a comfortable 70.
The gym is small, 3 elypticals and a one-​size fits all weight machine. Its attached to the laundry facility that has FREE washers and dryers. Not very many of them, I believe 6 total. So dont go down on a Sunday and expect to find anything available.
No restaurant on premises. No free breakfast. They do however have a «honor system» store with moderately priced food items. You basically take what you want then fill out a slip with your room number. Convenient but twice the price of the 7 – 11 down the street. The Hotel does have DVD players in all rooms and lets you check out free movies any time. They had around 200 selections.
WiFi was fast, averaging 8−12mbps down and 3−5mbps up. There are routers on every floor, so no congestion and rarely lost signal. I was able to stream Netflix without any issues.
Parking was not a problem and had plenty of space. The exterior was clean and had a designated pet area. There was a Chilis right next door across the lot, which was convenient.
All in all, it was clean, affordable and convenient. Its no 5 star Hilton by any means, but what it lacked in pizzazz it makes up for in down home comfort.

I’ve stayed in many Candlewoods, and dozens of other ICH hotels over the past 9 years. This one is below average.
The first room I stayed in was on the first floor. It was a hot week in OKC, and I could not get the room cool enough to sleep comfortably. I cranked the AC all the way down, but I don’t think it ever got below 74 degrees… too warm for comfortable sleep.
At 5:00 a.m. I was awakened by the person above me walking around. They weren’t particularly heavy footed, but the floor/​ceiling was just thin and noisy. I had another 3 nights to go, so I asked to change to a top floor room. They obliged with no hassle… they knew that the noise from above could be bad.
The second room was quieter. But, the AC was no better. In fact, it was worse. It also didn’t do a very good job of cooling the room, plus it made weird loud noises occasionally, and leaked condensation to the inside… the carpet was soaking wet all around the AC. Also, the tub faucet leaked so bad that I had to close the bathroom door to block the noise.
I now know why this hotel was so much cheaper than the others around here. Not worth the savings to me, and I will not stay here on future visits.

Normally from city to city I like to stay here in these suites with this one wasn’t very pleasant at first the room seemed musty almost smell of dog or whatnot, the little the carpet fresh that I keep in my bag helped out a lot. Average size did was fair lumpy in the bathroom wasn’t all big enough. Plenty of parking though and the staff was somewhat helpful, when I arrived did not have a laundry basket and they furnished one rather quickly. But all in all it was fair that would prefer the Holiday Inn would be a better choice, next time I will be going there.

I am in the middle of a 12 day stint here. It is indeed a clean, convenient, comfortable hotel. The bed was comfortable. The kitchen was quite adequate. Its close to the airport. The major downfall is the very VERY slow internet service. It also bears mentioning that if you stay for an extended period, maid service is only once per week.
If you don’t need the internet and you are a very clean person, it is the perfect place!

Clean, cheap and fantastic price! Highly recommend.

I stayed in this hotel for 10 days on business. The most redeeming quality during my experience was the friendliness of the staff. Every employee that I encountered treated me exceptionally well.
My least favorite thing about my stay was the bed. It was so hard and uncomfortable that I woke up more sore than I had been when I laid down. The one window in the room opened, which was nice on a cool afternoon. The fixtures were well-​worn and could use some updating, but I didn’t remove any stars due to this because it’s about what one would expect for this price range.
I chose this facility because it had kitchen facilities, a fitness center, and complimentary laundry facilities. The kitchen facilities were nice to have — they weren’t the most luxurious, but everything worked. The fitness center was sufficient — all of the equipment was in working order. The laundry facilities were less impressive — I had to switch dryers several times before I found one that worked. The small market was convenient for things like single-​serve laundry detergent and individual sized snacks.
I would recommend for budget-​conscious travelers who are looking for kitchen and fitness facilities.

Stayed here for two months and had nothing but good experiences here. Each room comes with a kitchenette complete with pots and pans, and dishware! Very handy for those nites when you are tired of eating out and want to whip up something to feed yourself. They also had a laundry room where you can wash your clothes for FREE, and a small gym for you to sweat it out in. There was also a small store that sold some food, toiletries, etc (think very very mini 711 type store but minus the slurpee machine). The staff were always really friendly and helpful. Every wednesdays from 5 – 7 they had a meet and greet in the lobby with food where the residents can come out and mingle together.
The only downer is the internet in the rooms sometimes have a tendency to cut out and was slow. Wished they had a business center to print documents but its not a big deal. Overall, was very satisfied with how we were treated through our entire stay and would stay with them again.
