I don't think I would ever want to go to another extended stay place than Candlewood Suites in VA Beach/Norfolk. I arrived a bit early before check-in time, but I needed to go to the grocery store to pick up food and to waste time. The manager allowed me to store my stuff in the office; the door locked right behind me. The room was nice, comfy and the bed was AMAZING. The kitchenette had pans for use, dishes, glasses, ice maker, fridge and icebox. The had coffee, popcorn and other items as "gifts" for the guests. Coffee was always hot and ready; love the use of the facilities it had (laundry, gym, store, and grill outside). The staff is sweet and funny as all get up. For the price I was given, it was something sooooooo worth it! The place was so clean, they had bulletin board with awards, special announcements and other notifications. It was also very quiet at night and they lock the doors to all the facilities and front, unless you have your room key which I thought was a nice touch for security. The manager is great! she accommodate to you; and she'll let you know that whatever she can do to help, she will do it. The people staying there were cordial, nice and never really caused trouble. I will recommend this place to anyone that needs to be there for business, vacation, whatever....I don't think I would ever want to go to another extended stay place than Candlewood Suites in VA Beach/Norfolk.

It was rather sad that I had to leave but it was a great time while I was there. The people that work there really put 150% into what they do there for their residents. For the 2 weeks I spent there, I was comfortable and glad to call it a place to call home; even if it was a temporary stay.
Without a doubt would suggest this place to any visiting the VA Beach area.More
