Candlewood Suites Merrillville By Ihg, Merrillville

My stay at the hotel was a bit disappointing. The room appeared rundown and not worth the price paid, although it had some features like heavy curtains for blocking light which was a plus. The service was awesome, with helpful and friendly staff, truly deserving of praise. The location was convenient with plenty of dining options nearby, though there were some disturbances like loud knocks in the morning. The dining experience wasn't up to par, as only limited items were available for purchase. Overall, it was a mixed experience with some positives and negatives.

The hotel room was satisfactory, albeit needing thorough cleaning and looking rundown, not justifying the $171 paid. On the upside, it provided a large, clean room with great air conditioning, which was non-smoking.

My stay at the hotel was a mix of positives and negatives. The rooms were pretty spacey, but unfortunately, they were absolutely disgusting and smelled like smoke, needing some serious cleaning. The service was a bit of a hit and miss; while some staff members were friendly and accommodating, others were not up to par. The location was okay, with easy access to restaurant options but noisy interruptions from housekeeping knocks were annoying. The dining experience left much to be desired with limited complimentary items and a lack of daily cleaning service typical of other Candle Wood Hotels.
