Pros

Great hotel to work for if you're at an IHG managed property, or a franchise with a good management company. Candlewood is a great brand that's growing and has a great culture of employee engagement and high standards of quality and guest satisfaction.

Cons

Work life balance isn't great for management, but it's generally better than busier, full service hotels. The pay is on par with other similar hotel brands.

Pros

There are no pros to this property in Mishawaka, IN

Cons

Can’t believe IHG auditors would allow this property to “somehow pass” inspection. Owner would not pay for necessary renovations, exterminator, etc cheap cheap cheap ! I was adOS and working front desk all the time bc he was too cheap to pay for staff. Then demoted me to front desk manager bc I wasn’t making sales. Hard to do while on desk all of the time. Gross.
