Candlewood Suites Chesapeake

It was the perfect weekend.

We needed a place with a full kitchen as we were moving off of our boat in preparation for a potential hurricane. We appreciated that the kitchen had a full-size fridge with freezer, 2 burner stove and good quality microwave. A/C was quiet, lots of room in the bathroom and living area and pet friendly.

We were in town visiting family. Good place to stay.

I got up at 3 am to drive to Chesapeake for a GRADUATION ceremony, checked into the hotel around 3pm, stayed for a few minutes then left to visit with family. When we returned to the room to rest and relax that night, ROACHES were having a party in our room. They were in the sink, on the countertop, and on the workstation! Aaand in the bathroom!!! I reported it to the front desk who explained that our hotel along with all others in the area was booked up and she could not give us another room and that I could talk with the manager tomorrow. So we had to sleep in the roach room.(one eye open). Every crinkle woke us up. And needless to say, we did not sleep well. Checked out 1st thing and called the manager later only for him to tell me they would not be issuing a refund because we slept in the room! And then he issues a 20% refund and says the 3rd party site we booked with is responsible. WHAT??? But he would talk to the GM, whom I left a message for earlier but have not heard from yet.
