Excellent Customer Service
Our stay was awesome. The staff was very helpful and had excellent customer service.
We will definitely be staying there again our next trip to Delaware, and telling family and friends about Candlewood. The sugar cookies and hot chocolate is an awesome touch that they provide.

We were here for our honeymoon. This hotel is AWESOME from the staff to the room, everything was perfect. I love how personable the hotel staff were to my husband and me. The general manager was very accommodating with all my requests from room decorations to late check-out. This was our first stay but definitely not our last!

I knew it was really close to the Prudential Center, but I did not realize it was directly connected to the Prudential Center via the parking garage. You can get from your room into the arena without even going outside. Perfect place to stay for any event at The Rock. Let's go Islanders!

Great for Business
I was here for a business trip and found the location to be very nice. It is close to 95 and not far from the UD campus and all the offering of their Main Street.
