Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Hotel's Favourite
I was a little apprehensive when booking this location after reading mixed reviews. My concern ended up being unwarranted as we had an excellent experience here. All employees we interacted with were pleasant, friendly, and helpful, including the owner/manager Paresh. He greeted us every time he saw us pass through the lobby and had recommendations for places to eat as well as some sites we should see. Even though it's not located right downtown, it was an easy drive to the places we wanted to visit. There are also lots of food choices and shopping nearby if you don't want to go into downtown. We typically stay at hotels where breakfast is included so we came prepared with fruit and other breakfast items. There was complimentary coffee all day long as well as small food and drink items available for purchase (like single serve oatmeal cups). Prices for these items seemed very reasonable to me. Our room was a single queen suite which included a 2 burner stove, microwave, full-size fridge, and sink. We didn't plan to cook while we were there, so didn't pay too much attention to how the kitchen was equipped. Bed was comfortable and pillows were adequate. Bedding was a little weird because the way the covers were tucked tight across the foot of the bed, they wouldn't even reach your shoulders when you got into bed. The only other negative for me was that the bed was situated close to the wall on one side with no nightstand or shelf on that side, so no place to put glasses, phone, or anything else close to the bed.

It was festival weekend; so I checked the day before arrival for our family and three rooms together. The staff was professional and accommodating to get us close as possible. The renovations are almost complete; and our rooms were perfect. Brand new everything; even the mattresses! Full size fridge, dishwasher, microwave, coffee maker, and toaster. Incredible, novel lending locker by elevator. Many different appliances available; and many entertainment toys like cards and games. The General Manager was available to make sure everything was working well and all happy with accommodations!

We had a reservation for two rooms on a Friday night. When we arrived later in the evening, Michael at the front desk told us our reservations were canceled. He said our credit card was declined, and they had no phone number. That could not be true since we have a membership with them. We also had a reservation for the following Friday night, and there was no problem with that night. He offered no help in finding another room, and didn’t seem to care we had no place to stay.

Older property. Kinda overpriced. Pretty clean but, my room had a refrigerator. The motor, compressor, ice maker made sleeping all but impossible. Unless you can sleep through anything, I suggest you not stay here. I cannot recommend Candlewood.

Jacqueline at the front desk is a gem! She honored my husband's veteran status to give us a good rate and got us in a room on the first floor to accommodate our dog. While the room was not fancy, it was perfect to let our dog out instead of having to go down an elevator and through the corridor. The room came stocked with a bag of microwave popcorn and had a functional full-size fridge plus microwave and stove top. The shower pressure was adequate but the water got hot pretty quickly. The linens on the bed were clean but thin--if you like sleeping in cold temperatures, there are not enough blankets to keep you warm. There is no breakfast at this site but they do offer a free cup of coffee in the morning. There's a little snack bar on site. For a quick stop on a long road trip with a dog, this was a good choice.

Front desk manager was polite and got us checked in right away, which was great because we had just spent 16 hours on the road and were stressed out. The room we stayed in had a big comfy king bed. Everything was clean and quiet. There were more than enough chairs to sit on either side of the bar. Located near some good restaurants and 2 supermarkets. Only problem was that some kitchen appliances (toaster, coffee pot) didn't work. Management replaced them right away. Plan to stay here the next time we make it to New Bern, which hopefully will be soon.

I had 2 rooms booked at this hotel for July 10th. The lobby at check-in had no air conditioning (minor flaw). The advertising for room rates was outright deceptive. I booked two types of room and two different rates and was told the higher rate was not what I booked. Both rooms we were given were identical. I was 100% confident the 2nd room I was supposed to get was supposed to have a pull out bed for my child. Why would I book two rooms one at a higher price for the same rooms? Instead both rooms were the smallest dirtiest smelliest rooms I have seen on the east coast in a decade (these are not suite rooms), and I stay at a lot of comparable properties. For the price the room set ups were laughable. This place is an outright dump (lobbies, hallways and rooms). Even the person at the desk and the manager admitted the advertising was deceptive. After walking out the first two rooms offered we were shown two other rooms, one of which did not have the nasty smell but again felt dirty and gross although not nearly as bad as the first two rooms. Lighting is also terrible in the rooms. After trying immediately to find another room in town with no luck we bought sheets at Target because there was no way we were sleeping on the beds. We even bought towels to cover the pillows. Finally at 9ish we had to return to the hotel. The person I was with begged me to stop at a few more hotels before we had to go into the Candlewood for the night to see if any rooms opened up elsewhere. On our third stop we got a great room at the nearby Springhill Suites where they had a last minute cancellation. What a joy to check into that hotel for the same price and their Suites meant Suites. We even managed one room for the 3 of us comfortably. We returned to the Candlewood hotel and checked out at 10PM. In the end the manager only returned us our money for one room not two and what really bothered me about that was the rate was ridiculously for that property plus they had a massive bait and switch on the room type. I plan to dispute the charge on my credit card bill, the first time I will have ever disputed anything. Plus I have never once checked out of a hotel because it was simply too dirty to stay there. Again had the price been low I would have said buyer beware but this room was close to 200.00 a room! I expected more. On a bright note I would compliment the person at the desk as she was honest the first rooms were not in great shape and the room advertising was deceptive. She tried to help but reality is there were no clean rooms, just various degrees of awful. The owner/manager also admitted the advertising is deceptive and they are having trouble finding cleaning crews. No way would I ever get near this hotel again. While he offered me credit on one room back, he in my mind did not offer enough. He should have eaten the charge on the second room. They did say they were about to go through a renovation and it had last been 10 years.

We needed to make a spur of the moment trip to New Bern for an unexpected family emergency. Never having been to the area, we were lucky enough to choose the Candlewood Suites for our one night stay. They provided exactly what we needed: A safe environment, clean rooms, an efficient check-in & check-out process, helpful & courteous reception staff, an uninterrupted night's sleep, & peace of mind at a stressful time. The features of both rooms were great: microwave, coffee maker, fridge, Wi-Fi, quiet. We're looking forward to using this hotel as a base of operations on future visits when we'll have the chance to explore the region, one day-trip at a time. :-)
