Very nice room, but.the elevator wasn’t working. I got the rmail but thought it would be fixed by the time my trip came up. Electrical outlet in bathroom was loose and I had to pile things on the cord to make the connection work.

Riom was great, that's why we chose it for the 2nd time this month. The elevator always seems to be broken, though. It was broken then fixed last time & then broken again this time (wasn't fixed by the time we left).

Elevator could have worked, they should stop advertising free breakfast. 3 of the 4 staff members we encountered were pleasant. The dark haired lady working the front desk, not as much.

Had a nice stay at Candlewood. A couple of small snafus, but they worked out. It was clean, convenient and not to far out from my family. Kitchen was nice. Shopping and restaurants close by. The housekeeping staff was excellent! Overall it was a nice stay!
