Candlewood ....Hands Down.
3-4 people in my class attempted alternate situations...Red Roof ( totally unacceptable ) and sharing a rental condo/apartment.
They all came to Candlewood within a week or so.
Sept 2010 prices were about $34.00/night. Book 30 days and they refund all taxes. total cost was about $900 for the month.
There is EVERYTHING you need as far as food, restaurants, groceries, dry cleaning, etc. within a one block radius.
Very clean and comfortable, excellent Staff, FREE laundry, $3.00/day in complimentary items of your choice ( sodas, cookies, popcorn, juices, frozen/microwaveable dinner items etc. ) from the snack bar, free coffee every morning, as well... each room has its own kitchen,fridge,microwave, pots,pans, utensils, dishwasher etc., there is also a gym area and a gas BBQ grill/ picnic area outside, free internet, etc.
Get the 3rd floor facing east....nice view and very quiet due to not facing parking area or highway 94 and having no one walking around above you. ( although all the other rooms are fine, this is the most desirable. If they don't have a room available in that area immediately, they are very good at letting you move to one in a day or so after arrival.)
