Verified Reviews of Candlewood Suites San Marcos An Ihg Hotel

Below are the verified reviews from guests that we have booked recently:
"A let down."
Overall Score3.0/ 5
The hot water in shower took at least 10 minutes every night to get hot. Our room description said two queen beds and a sleeper sofa but the room only came with a recliner. There seemed to be a shortage of towels for the bedrooms and the pool as well.
