Candlewood Suites Philadelphia-Mt. Laurel

It has a kitchenette...which I personally liked since I was able to store food in the fridge. It also has a microwave to heat my food, and a stove (although I personally didn't need to cook during my stay).

1) Housekeeping doesn't come everyday (as it's not part of their practice). I also don't like to have to take my linens/used towels downstairs to replenish them. 2) The day I checked in, Room 315 had a fridge/phone that didn't work and so I moved to 309 where things seemed to be working properly, but little did I expect, here is where my real problem began: My smoke alarm malfunctioned for 2 nights in a row...The first night, it went off at about 5AM and woke me up in the middle of my sleep. At first, I assumed it was a fire alarm (or even worst, perhaps a fire in the building???), and so I ran out of my room, then I noticed no guests were exiting their own rooms. So then I proceeded down the stairway (2 flights) to the front desk to find out if anything serious was going on just to find out from the girl at the desk that nothing was happening. When I went back up to my room, I came to my senses that it was just my room smoke alarm (and not the building fire alarm) and then somehow, it mysteriously stopped beeping when I went back up. The girl at the front desk asked if they can do something for the inconvenience...but I let it go since I was too tired/sleepy at 5AM to change my room again and had to go to work shortly after. On the following night, my smoke alarm went off again twice (once around 2AM, and then 3AM). By now, I had enough & I finally yanked it off the ceiling & it eventually stopped. This issue was a serious inconvenience for me as I was trying to sleep since had to go to work in the morning, since I stayed at this hotel for work related purposes. So I was a considerably disappointed by the lack of response by a manager for this headache, but at least the front desk ladies showed some empathy and was trying to be considerate as this was a very embarrassing ordeal for me since it only occurred in my room in the middle of the night. The noise was very loud and who knows if other guests were awakened by this...
