Candlewood Suites Fort Collins by IHG

Great! Business-y hotels are often more board room than bed room but this one is well designed for living & sleeping space. My one gripe is both HVAC units were broken. One of them and its thermostats each have signs pointing to each other to adjust temperature at the other place 👉👈 And the other HVAC unit had a broken temperature control so you couldn't turn the heat down .. only up!

The room was very spacious and clean. Laundry room available at no cost except getting your own detergent. We were able to go to the grocery and check out a toaster oven at the front desk to cook pizzas. Full kitchen except oven. Very friendly staff and location was definitely a plus. Overall it was a great stay!!!

This is the second time I've stayed at this hotel. First for medical with my family, then for medical and business as a single woman. I felt safe. I will come back again. The rooms are soothing, the kitchenettes well appointed and just perfect for busy days when I came back to rest and restore my energy before a night with friends. The beds are wonderful-sheets, excellent pillows, the weight and warmth of the bed cover. The bathroom is big, the shower very good, towels feel great. The room is very clean.

We have stayed here before and we're delighted . This visit was awful. The hotel needs to enforce non smoking rooms. Getting off the elevator on the 2nd floor, the entire 2nd floor smells like cigarettes. There was no coffee except decaf because they were waiting on a delivery. It seems someone should be ordering more frequently. Maybe a gift card to starbucks?? This stay was a nightmare. The mattress was so hard that I got up during the night to take some Tylenol because laying on my side made my hip hurt on the mattress. I will not be back to this location again.

Really sad to see this Candlewood Suites go so downhill. It used to be my favorite place to stay while visiting Fort Collins for the past three years. During my entire stay, there were overflowing ashtrays and trash on the grounds outside. There was also dead landscaping, valet carts with stringy carpet and marks/scratches all the way down the hallway walls. The whole place just looks so run down. My room had dirty carpet, chipped bathtub, caulk issues, and stained furniture. Not sure what happened but I will not return. The front desk people were very nice though.

Addendum: as of December of 2025, I called and they have not upgraded their mattresses nor do they have upgrades planned. I am disappointed because otherwise I liked this lodging. But we cannot consider staying there with my husband's back issues. We'll come back if they get new mattresses. Pros: Staff friendly and helpful. (Quickly met our request for extra blanket and to check our heating system.) Quiet and safe location. Kitchen with refrigerator, cooktop, microwave and dishes to serve two people. Roomy bathroom. Very clean and fresh. Recliner chair in room with lots of closet and desk space. Cons: King-size bed in our suite was very uncomfortable for my spouse who has a bad back. He had to sleep in the recliner chair. We were advised that upgrades are coming which will include new mattresses. Heating and cooling system was difficult to control - if you tried to turn the thermostat down a little, it immediately blasted cold air. We would stay here again, but if you have a bad back, ask how old the mattresses are. Also, I recommend asking for a room away from the back of the mall. Tuesday morning at 6am was garbage pick up day for the adjacent mall, and the trucks dumping the commercial dumpsters were some kind of loud!

Spent two weeks here for work, felt like home! Even found myself telling people I "had to go back home" when I went to my friends and families Thanksgiving celebrations. Will definitely choose this place again if I want a safe, comfortable and peaceful place to stay when I’m out and about or working in Fort Collins!
