Candlewood Suites Minot by IHG

There was the typical trashy hotel issues - unclean room with dirt/hair/etc. everywhere and the recliner in the room had the vinyl completely torn off it. Staff was slow and incompetent. But the biggest issue was I booked a "suite that sleeps 5" and they gave us a two queen room. The bumbling semi-incoherent front desk person kept defiantly stating that they could call that a "sleeps 5" room and that we were simply supposed to have 3 people sleep in one of the queen beds. I've traveled extensively for two decades and while I've stayed in some trashy hotels before, I've never had one simply outright lie about their rooms like this.

Bree was AWESOME! She bent over backwards for everything and anything anyone needed with a huge smile. The gentleman working dayshift and the gentleman also working eventually my shift were AWESOME!!! The manager was nice but definitely looked out for the others working. Will stay at this hotel again in near future.

The room had not been vacuumed well which was kinda gross.

This property is clean and located close to a Walmart and various restaurants, but the street it is on lacks crosswalks or sidewalks to get to those places safely. The hotel also has a lending locker with items like blenders, panini presses, and slow cookers to facilitate your extended stay. What a cool idea! The rooms are spacious, albeit somewhat odd in their layout that maintains a fair amount of unused space. If you have to spend a night in Minot, this is a great place to do so that won't break the bank.

Property needs some renovation. Need to make it clear in write up that no breakfast. No vending machines with sodas. Disappointed

Bed was clean but the floor clearly hadn’t been vacuumed for a longtime, debris/dirt along all walls and tile floor. Room smelled funky like someone squated there and never bathed or washed their clothes. First two towels I opened had what looked like dried blood in them. Caught a funky smell in the kitchen and the dishwasher was full of dishes that absolutely stunk horrible even though it said they were clean? Cut power to your fridge, let it sit for a few weeks and that’s what it smelled like. Front desk was nice but overall not impressed at all. There’s better hotels in this price range.

I have stayed at several hotels in minot, and this hotel is by far the best in quality in all areas! The staff were very helpful and professional. The cleanliness of the hotel was top!!! The rooms were very clean and the linens including the bath towels were excellent quality. I highly recommend this hotel!!!! You won’t be disappointed!!!!!
