I had the pleasure of staying at candlewood suites on florence road in Killeen, Texas twice this summer. I was so impressed with the politeness of the staff ( Matthew, Cindy, & Mary) that I returned 2 weeks later to the same location. My check- in was flawless and they shared their experience and knowledge of the area eagerly. It was my first time staying in Texas and their kindness and honesty about the area has really influenced me to make Texas my home in the next year. The suite was clean ( thank you Frenchie !) and housekeeping kept the common areas spotless as well. I have stayed at 5 star resorts around the world and this hotel was just as nice. I will definitely return to this location during my upcoming house hunting trips. It's one thing to have the amenities you need and a bonus when those amenities come with polite and positively charged individuals who are eager to make you feel comfortable. I returned with my kids and they were equally satisfied. That says a lot since they are teenagers, 13 & 17 with no complaints. They didn't have a pool however, 40 seconds across the parking lot to the sister Holiday Inn was not an issue. My son enjoyed the modern gym equipment and even did the laundry in the accompanying laundry room, which was free!! Plenty of movies (free) at the front desk and no need to make a midnight run for snacks because there was a cupboard available with everything from oatmeal for breakfast to candybars. We didn't use the cupboard but it was nice to have available. I loved having my own kitchen fully stocked with dishes and everything to fix a meal. Had the feel of a resort studio.
