Candlewood Suites Corpus Christi - Portland by IHG

People were very friendly. Rooms were big. They allow pets and have a nice grass potty section for dogs in the back. Near restaurants and sunset lake park. Will stay here again.

The location was great and made it very easy to come and go. A lot of shopping and restaurants nearby. My room was very clean and comfortable and the overall hotel was very well kept. The staff made check in very fast and convenient. I would definitely stay here again.

Update from recent stay, week of 8/18/25: I originally reviewed Candlewood a year ago. Update as of my most recent stay a-room rating to 2 stars. I was sad to say this hotel seems to have gone down on the cleanliness factor. I dont expect the room to have to go through the white glove treatment, but the bathroom and kitchen floor was filthy. The room had a very weird scent. Garbage under the sink had a horrible stench. Soaps were empty and asked the front desk to refill and that did not happen. The staff was pleasant and friendly, just think someone should be checking on the work their housekeeping does. Too many hotels in that area to choose from for anyone of them to slack.

Room was very clean and well stocked with Towels. The personnel were very polite and helpful.|Negative: Coffee was Cold and not drinkable late afternoon. Coffee was Hot in the AM Morning but was not that great. Not a big deal I brought instant coffee with me.

Thank you for an awesome stay. The front desk Diane always makes us feel welcomed.
