“Candlewood Suites Polaris offers extended stays with apartment-style suites, including a free guest laundromat, which is a real find. While some housekeeping communication lags, the front desk staff generally receives praise for their friendly and professional service. Still, potential billing discrepancies should be carefully monitored during and after one's stay.”
