Extra parking charge
For a facility that is just off the freeway and near the edge of town, the notion of an extra charge for parking in a nothing special parking lot is a rip-off that should be included in the "all-in" inclusive price.
Also note that the kitchen is well equipped, but for highway travelers on a short stay who has the food to cook? Note, no free breakfast.

Lot of highway and road noise. Must be near an ambulance or fire station as well. Otherwise it’s a clean facility and being that I work in the emergency services I can sleep through pretty much anything

My husband and I love staying at The Candlewood Suites. The staff is very helpful and very polite. They are always eager to answer any questions or assist you in anyway. The rooms are spacious and very clean. They even have a wonderful dog walking area and barbeques you can use upon request. I strongly recommend staying at The Candlewood Suites Santa Maria, CA

I stayed here one night. The room was nice. The bed and pillows were comfortable. The cabinets were well stocked with dishes. They had an area by the front desk where you could borrow kitchen appliances like a a slow cooker. The staff were nice during check in. I would stay here for a longer stay in the future.
