Candlewood Suites Enterprise

Straight to the Point– No House keeping, No Breakfast, Not Cheap, No Warning before you check in and Hotel Staff who will lie to you just as soon as to look at you and tell you they are on top of the problem. Much nicer hotels in this town where you are not expected to take out your own trash, make your own beds, get your own towels from the front desk or clean your own toilet. For a hundred bucks per night are you kidding me?

Paid for the room and didn’t stay. Rude staff I can afford to be treated better. Cassie had no rooms at 1:30 due 50 check outs? Sit on the sofa an hour and a half? No thanks Cassie. No refund? Fine never again.

What a gem. Clean and comfortable. Taylor at the front desk was so friendly and helpful. I booked two nights and now want to stay here the whole time. The bed is so comfortable that I overslept. Definitely the place to stay in this rural town.

Very friendly staff, they go out of your way to make you feel welcome. Rooms are standard hotel rooms, nothing fancy. They’ve replaced all of the bedding and bathroom linens in the past 6 months. Full sized fridge, cooktop stove and an in house convenience store in case you need any late night snack.

Best hotel I’ve stayed at in a long time. If you are looking for a relaxed and friendly environment, this is you place to stay. The staff is the best asset. You’ll feel like your with friends. I’ve stayed there three time and have enjoyed it each time.

Having stayed here for approximately 6 weeks (having to come here for training I was required to stay in this lodging), I might a well write a review of the place since I’ve spent a majority of my time in it. Considering the many old delapidated buildings I saw around the Enterprise area, I was quite relieved when I first saw the building (seems either newly built or extremely renovated). It’s right off Boll Weevil circle in what looks like the middle of nowhere behind a Santa Fe Cattle Company chain restaurant. The building is pleasant in appearance but looks so lonely with no other buildings around it. There’s plenty of parking spaces and upon check-​in the small lobby was like any other lobby, nothing fancy. The front desk staff have all been very friendly and helpful and check-​in was a breeze. There’s only one elevator in the middle of the building that goes up to the 3^rd floor and it is SLOOOW. There’s two stairwells and they are only at the ends of each hall. It would have been nice to have a stairwell in the middle where the elevator was as well and alot of other guests pointed that suggestion out too. I stayed on the 3^rd floor and the room was far better than expected. It was CLEAN, had new basic furniture, a small kitchette space equipped with a stove (NO oven), microwave, dishwasher, sink, coffee maker, toaster, and a normal size freezer (With an ice maker) and fridge… WOW! The cabinets were already filled with a basic set of plates, glasses, and silverware, as well as a few pots and pans. There was a table with office like chair that I used for workspace, a dresser with a flat screen TV (normal selection of cable channels (LOTS of religious channels though but I guess that’s Alabama for ya, and found channels that were HD! around ch 112) with a DVD (never used it), a faux leather lazy boy chair, king? sized bed with night stand, and bathroom equipped with towels. Closet space was also quite adequate with hangers, an iron, and ironing board. There were outlets everywhere so I could plug in my phone chargers, laptop, etc. And what’s definitely needed during these hot Alabama summers… the A/​C! Thank goodness for the A/​C or else I’d be dying in this sweltering heat. You can control the A/​C with the control pad on the A/​C itself or the wall unit next to the bed. I normally kept it around 68 – 69 degrees and it can actually get chilly in your room. But once I turned it off, the room did get warmer so couldn’t really find a happy medium… BUT I definitely am greatful that it kept my room cool.
Other «PLUSES» to this place include a 24hr FREE washer/​dryer service you can use on the first floor (just have to supply your own detergent, softener/​dryer sheets), a 24hr accessabile mini pantry that had basic essentials, soda/​water, and microwaveable food kind of like those small convenience stores at the airport (minus the magazines/books).obviously you pay for them and can either charge it to your room or pay the front desk, and a BBQ area next to the pool (only 3−5ft deep and was small and rinky dink) where every Wed, they have some kind of free food and drinks to include beer! If you have a pet, you are allowed to have them in the hotel which was pretty cool as well (not so cool when you hear an animal running down the hall and barking at ungodly hours lol… didnt have often though thankfully). And finally as a final perk, you have FREE access to Gold’s Gym in the Enterprise business area up Boll Weevil circle which I definitely took advantage of (there is a «gym» next to the laundry room but there are NO free weights… it only consisted of a not really awesome elliptical, two treadmills, a stationary bike, and those all-​in-​one machine weight contraptions)
And now for the «minuses»…honestly I only have one. it isn’t that big of a grievance that should preclude you from staying here but were just observations as well as annoyances that I had esp staying here for several weeks… the maid service. If you stay long term, your room gets cleaned every Tuesday with the expectation that you get clean towels, new bedding, and surprisingly your dishes cleaned if they are in the sink. The first two weeks, everything seemed to look spot on and the towels were clean. but by weeks 3 – 6, boy was service somewhat downhill! Some weeks, my kitchen cloths would disappear and not get replaced, my dishes were in the dishwasher but looked like they were only cleaned on rinse mode, and my bed seemed like it wasn’t changed at all and my pillows just got fluffed. My trash did get picked up but I never got the right size trash bags, Also, being the clean freak, I did keep the room relatively clean on a daily basis but happened to notice a few cockroaches here and there and if there’s one thing I hate the most those are cockroaches! I dont know if it’s because I introduced food into the room now but I was just annoyed by their presence AND I was on the high floor.
Overall though, great place to stay in E-​prise.
