10 out of 10!
This was the cleanest hotel I’ve ever stayed at. The room was extremely clean. A 10 out of 10. The hotel had an appearance that it was brand new. The dishes and silverware had a shine to them.
The bed was very comfortable and the were crispy clean.

Excellent Customer Service
Our stay was awesome. The staff was very helpful and had excellent customer service.
We will definitely be staying there again our next trip to Delaware, and telling family and friends about Candlewood. The sugar cookies and hot chocolate is an awesome touch that they provide.

Great for Business
I was here for a business trip and found the location to be very nice. It is close to 95 and not far from the UD campus and all the offering of their Main Street.

We were here for our honeymoon. This hotel is AWESOME from the staff to the room, everything was perfect. I love how personable the hotel staff were to my husband and me. The general manager was very accommodating with all my requests from room decorations to late check-out. This was our first stay but definitely not our last!

The hotel was clean, staff was friendly, slightly expensive considering other hotels in the area offer breakfast for a similar price. Next door is the red roof inn, parking lots are attached. I think they are housing homeless people there.

12 hours too many!
We stayed for one night while visiting UDel. The room had a smell and we were forced to turn off the heat due to the loud blowing sound. But the fridge also made a loud buzzind sound that we were unable to turn off. We would have left, but it was late and we had an early morning tour.
We both woke up with red eyes that cleared by noon, but have never had that happen before. There was only one garbage in a cabinet that was extremely inconvienent.

I knew it was really close to the Prudential Center, but I did not realize it was directly connected to the Prudential Center via the parking garage. You can get from your room into the arena without even going outside. Perfect place to stay for any event at The Rock. Let's go Islanders!
