Candlewood Suites ST. Joseph by IHG

Stayed in 2 separate rooms a week apart. Parking is a little tight, but manageable. We tried connecting an XBox to the wifi to stream but couldn't get it to work either time we stayed. No issues at other hotels. Comfy beds, but the A/C was set to heat when it was 60° outside and wouldn't stay on. Also the bottom of the bathtubs in both rooms were visibly dirty. Wouldn't recommend a shower they were so black. Other than this, the staff is friendly, they offer plenty of things in the market downstairs to accommodate your every need, and it's a great hotel.

Cars were idling outside our room at 11:30 p.m. to 12:30 a.m. and started up again at 4:30 p.m. Doors were slamming all night. Maybe you can say the hotel can't control these things. But it can control these: The room doors close way too loud. The in-room heater was quite loud, as was the fridge. The in-room ice maker didn't work. A light from the parking lot was shining directly into our room and the curtains couldn't keep it out. My wife stuck a tennis shoe on the bottom of the curtains that helped but not enough. The room, even with all the lights turned on, was dark. I thought the bed was OK but my wife said she felt like she was rolling into the middle all night. On the plus side, teh staff was friendly and the coffee was free (although you had to make your way through a maze of renavations to get to it). Neither sadly made up for the miserable night's sleep. While it's unlikely we ever will be coming back to St. Joseph - nothing against St. Joseph - we definitely would look for another place to say.
