Our hallway was almost unwalkable because of the smell of cigarette smoke. I told the guy at the front desk after checkin & he brushed it off. The next morning I told her that within just a few minutes in our room we could also smell it in our room & 3/4 of our family members have asthma, so it made for a rough night. Her response— well they will get charged a $300 fee. I said well that’s great for y’all to be able to hopefully clean it, but not for your other guests who had to suffer through it all night. She wasn’t rude, however she also didn’t apologize & nor did the guy the night before. The room was nice, but we will never stay again since they didn’t seem to take the smoking concern seriously.

I was very happy with my short stay.
Checked in pretty late 7 pm ish.. Traffick on 280 was terrible..that is a mess...but checked in and found our room. It was clean, smelled fresh. Water faucet in kitchen leaked a little but kitchenette was nice. Beds were ok.. I was hoping for better but could have been much worst. Hallways a little noisy at first but things settled down. The room was nice. Carpets were clean everything checked ok on my list. In the morning I was pleasently surprised that the location was very sweet..up in the mountains. The morning was cool and the cardinals were jumping from car to car..I didnt want to go home.. very nice property..I would have loved to stay another night but was in a hurry to get home to Florida after Hurricane Helene. We will try to swing back in here... maybe stay a few days.Whataburger is right there and a gas station..

I travelled a lot this past year and the Candlewood Suites Inverness is one of the nicest motels I've stayed in. Staff friendly and helpful, rooms are quiet and very clean. The kitchenette was very nice to have also. I travel with my dog so it made it much easier to prepare his meals. And it was stocked with dishes, a hot plate and utensils which most kitchenettes don't have. I also felt safe walking him at night around the property. I will stay again next time I'm in the area.

First time staying here, but will not be my last The rooms were nice and layout very convenient. They are pet friendly, but need to be mindful of cleaning sofa. Ours had pet hair on it, so we covered it with a sheet.

Not great but not bad either.
While not great, it was a nice place to stay overnight. The service staff was very friendly and helpful. The room was clean and fit our family of five just fine. The shower faucet was difficult to use for our kids due to it needing maintenance. The air conditioner was very loud and clunky sounding. The pool is pretty small and can get crowded quickly, though our family did enjoy it. The coffee was actually pretty good. No breakfast in the morning though. Also, no onsite EV charging. Though, the location just off the highway and very near a Tesla Supercharger is a plus. There are many stores and places to eat close by so this could be a great place for someone.
