Candlewood Suites Lake Mary, an IHG Hotel

Where to begin!? This hotel is phenomenally convenient! There are so many amenities to staying here, and I will try to list the top ones. Firstly, let's discuss the staff. You couldn't ask for a better group of friendly and helpful individuals. From the time I arrived until the moment I left. I was always greeted with a smile. I had the pleasure of speaking with Becca when I needed to modify my stay, as I miscalculated my trip by one day, and she was very accomodating and updated it in the system. No-fuss! This hotel is suited for an extended stay. Therefore, you'll find critical items such as a small gym and a coin-operated laundry room on-site!!! There is a small store to get snacks, water, and things you may have forgotten at home. There's plenty of parking, but the place is PACKED! One night, I did have a challenge finding parking because of how busy the hotel was. That weekend we arrived, the Daytona 500 occurred; with the addition of the contractors staying long term, every spot was occupied. If you're looking for food, don't even worry. All the apps are available. Plus, there are some fantastic places to eat nearby. Miller's Ale House, F&D Cantina, and Keke's were great! Highly recommend them. However, if you're looking to save some money, Cook!! The rooms have a kitchen! Fully equipped with a two-burner stove, dishes, flatware, and a dishwasher!! The fridge makes ice too! As a remote worker, I especially appreciated the desk and office chair right in the room. There was ample wifi, but I was blown away that there was also a wired connection! I plugged right in and was online. I took all my zoom calls and conducted business without missing a beat! Not sure what to do with your four-legged family members while you travel? Bring them along! This hotel is completely pet friendly. I made so many furry friends during my stay. I had a great time staying here, and was so bummed when it was time to leave!

The staff was very nice and flexible, we were able to solve every problem, room was big, clean, lovely neighborhood, whatever they promise they exceed it every time.

The room layout was amazing, the bed was super comfy, loved the complimentary soap in the showers, loved the kitchen and the pool. Also they offer free laundry machines and coffee.

The rooms were beautiful! This hotel was the cheapest pet friendly hotel I could find last minute and it far exceeded my expectations! The room was spacious with beautiful dark wood throughout. It was pretty friendly, had a full kitchen (large fridge, sink, and a dishwasher!), large desk, recliner, wood floors... Very beautiful. We only need to stay for a night but I would've been comfortable staying there for weeks!

This is our new "go to" hotel. The bed was nice and cozy! The staff was great, nice and friendly. Love the full size fridge and mini stove. We had a few days off and this was perfect for us to just get away.
