Candlewood Suites Santa Maria

We have previously stayed at Candlewood Suites in another location and really liked the layout with a full kitchen and a separate bedroom. This one, however, didn't work for us. I don't know if all the 1 bedroom suites in this hotel are the same but this one was too small. The bedroom was so small that we couldn't even open the door completely because it ran into the bed and there was not even enough space for 2 night stands. There were two large closets but neither one had a luggage rack. The flatware in the kitchen was mismatched and lacking. We had to share a spoon! The table/desk was crammed in the corner of the kitchen/ living room so that the chair was half on kitchen flooring and half on carpet and you had to sit near the end of the table otherwise you would run into the kitchen cabinets. If you sat on the other side of the table, you were in the doorway to the bedroom. The living room space was comfortable and a good size. The check-in staff was very accomodating and allowed us an early check-in.

They treated us well. Upgraded my daughter and I in a suite with no additional charges. Very home like and comfortable. Allowed us to relax.

Great customer service. Nice and clean rooms.

Would have done things differently had I known room had everything I needed for my stay. Thank you! Room had refrigerator, stove, coffee pot and all amenities in it.
