Hello Travelers-This review is long overdue. In 2022 I called Candlewood Suites Hotel my home away from home, six months stay while on an assignment in the food and beverage industry. I returned in April 2023 for work and stayed for two weeks. In 2022 this hotel was going through renovations and considering how extensive the work was, Dipak Patel the general manager and his front of the house management team, Eric, Lena and Robbie (I will mention them later in the review) worked tirelessly while on duty to make sure the renovations did not interfere with guests experience, now think about this, a three story hotel, 80 rooms, thousands of guests and the whole exterior of this Candlewood Suites was under construction, oh and did I mention every suite room was getting a facelift toooo. I lived through 80% of this building renovation, they kept the inside clean, clean, clean. You could not tell what went on that day, my room always smelled good, no dirty floors, counters and I rarely heard any loud noise. So, thank you team for the extra hard work you went through in 2022. I left at a couple of days before Christmas, and I returned in April 2023,,,,,,,,,,WOW WOW and more WOW. Absolutely outstanding hotel, Candlewood Suites @ Ad Color, Lexington Kentucky is a new Hotel to the least. First off, the exterior looks GREAT, all new plywood, stucco, paint, fixtures and insulation, just think of a much healthier hotel with all the old gone. Now the interior lobby will be renovated soon so let's talk about the fabulous changes to the rest of the hotel. All new beautiful carpet in all the public walkways, halls and offices. By the time I make it to my room I'm already feeling the classy changes. Smart minds went into creating a beautiful room that has style and made me feel at home. I noticed the new 55" tv in the corner all new hardwood floors, new kitchenette with all new cabinets, countertops, cool sink and facet, dishwasher and of course the refrigerator. A huge closet and new desktop and dresser drawer. The bed mattress and bedding new, clean and folded to a crisp. Night tables with UHB outlets, alarm clock and even a recliner with its own desk (table). Then I opened up the bathroom door and was amazed. All new sink, big cool mirror with lighting, a hot shower with thick glass sliding doors new shower fixtures and thick white towels. I LOVED MY SHOWER they helped me start the day fresh and end the day fresh CUDOS on the great shower. Oh, I forgot it has a toilet to, ha-ha. Now, one the most important part of my stay revolves around the service I receive. I refer to the front of house as the breakfast, lunch and dinner team. First Eric is always on duty in the morning. I like Eric's early morning conversations. Heck he just got up like me and he always lets me know if I can walk out the door and go to work, meaning if I don't have my coffee and banana, I am not ready. Ask Eric the great places to eat he suggested several and everyone was a knockout. Lena
