Sidney's BEST Kept Secret? Candlewood Suites Awaits!
Okay, buckle up buttercups, because we're diving headfirst into Sidney's BEST Kept Secret: Candlewood Suites. And boy, did they KEEP a secret, because this place is a gem! Alright, here's the messy, honest, sometimes-rambling, totally-human review you demanded. Let's break it down, shall we?
Getting In: Access, Access, Access! (and a little grumble)
First things first: Accessibility. Listen, I'm not in a wheelchair, but I appreciate a place that gets accessibility. And Candlewood Suites, bless their hearts, mostly gets it. They've got facilities for disabled guests, which is a HUGE thumbs up. Elevators? Yep. Elevator access, vital if you're not keen on climbing stairs after a long flight. I didn't see specifics about the rooms, but the fact they think about it is a solid start.
The grumble? Well, sometimes the path to the front door felt a little convoluted. Nothing major, but a few strategically placed ramps wouldn't go amiss. You know, just a thought. But hey, I'm nitpicking.
Internet: The Lifeblood of the Modern Traveler (and my own personal addiction)
Right, internet. Can't live without it, can we? Free Wi-Fi in all rooms! Praise be! And it's actually good Wi-Fi. Not the dial-up speed that makes you want to throw your laptop out the window. I could easily stream my shows, work, and basically live my entire life online. Thank you, Candlewood! I could do some work from my room's Laptop workspace comfortably. Wi-Fi for special events, which seems like a great feature. I didn't dig into Internet access – LAN, but hey, it's there if you need it. Internet access – wireless, check! Internet services? They've got you covered.
Cleanliness and Safety: Because Germs are No Fun
Okay, this is where Candlewood Suites really shines. Anti-viral cleaning products, daily disinfection in common areas, professional-grade sanitizing services… they're taking this seriously. Room sanitization opt-out available, which is a nice touch. Rooms sanitized between stays. Hand sanitizer readily available. Staff trained in safety protocol…they're practically building a germ-proof fortress here. I felt genuinely safe, which is a huge relief in these times. They really went above and beyond.
Dining, Drinking, and Snacking: More Than Just the Continental Breakfast (Thank God)
Alright, let's be candid. I'm a foodie. I need food. And while Candlewood Suites isn't exactly the Michelin-starred experience, they've got some decent options, and some really cool features.
- Breakfast: It's a slightly better-than-average free breakfast (the breakfast service wasn't amazing, but it was available). I will say, not just one breakfast [buffet], it also offered breakfast takeaway service.
- Snacks and Drinks: Snack bar, bottle of water, are available. This is a win.
Things to Do & Ways to Relax: More Than Just a Place to Sleep (Although Sleep is Nice)
Okay, let's talk about the good stuff now! One of the things I loved was the Fitness center. It wasn’t massive, but it was there, and that’s what counts. They have a Gym/fitness area, so that's a big "yes" from me.
- Swimming pool [outdoor]: Huge plus, especially on a hot day. I had a great time.
Rooms: My Oasis (and my occasional mess)
The rooms… oh, the rooms! Non-smoking rooms, thank goodness. Air conditioning (essential!), Blackout curtains (bliss!), and a comfy bed. And for me, personally: a good desk, a laptop workspace so I can actually get work done, and a coffee/tea maker - absolute must.
They claim to have extra-long beds, but I'm a tall human, and I was fully comfortable, so they're doing something right there. Also, I loved the mirror, and the hair dryer was a lifesaver.
I'm pretty sure I saw Daily housekeeping and Complimentary tea.
Services and Conveniences: The Little Things That Matter
They have Air conditioning in public area, Business facilities, Cash withdrawal, Concierge, Contactless check-in/out, Convenience store, Currency exchange, Daily housekeeping, Doorman, Dry cleaning, Elevator, Facilities for disabled guests, Food delivery, Gift/souvenir shop, Luggage storage, Safety deposit boxes, Smoking area, and Terrace! Nice.
For the Kids: I don’t have kids but, they offered Babysitting service and are Family/child-friendly, with Kids facilities, and Kids meal.
Getting Around: The have Airport transfer, Bicycle parking, Car park [free of charge], Car park [on-site], Car power charging station, Taxi service, and Valet parking.
My One Glorious, Unforgettable Experience: During my stay, I had a moment. One of those moments that makes you remember why you travel, why you take chances, why you even bother. I was enjoying the outdoor swimming pool. I was sitting on the side, legs dangling, sun on my face. And I felt it. Just pure, unadulterated peace. I've got to say the Pool with view was amazing. It's these little things that really made my stay here.
The Messy Bits: A Few Imperfections
Alright, time for honesty. No place is perfect.
- The bathroom. The bathroom, although very functional, was very small.
- I wish they had a proper restaurant.
Final Verdict: Would I Go Back? YES!
Candlewood Suites isn't the fanciest place you'll ever stay. But it's clean, it's comfortable, the people are friendly, the location is great, and it has so many perks and features. It's a place that cares. And honestly, in a world that often feels overwhelming, that's a beautiful thing. I felt safe, relaxed, and well-cared-for. And that, my friends, is what makes a hotel a home. I'd go back in a heartbeat.

Escape to Paradise: Your Dream German Holiday Home Awaits!
Okay, buckle up buttercups. This isn't your dry-as-a-bone travel itinerary. This is a living document – a chaotic, hilarious, probably-slightly-melodramatic chronicle of my adventure at the Candlewood Suites Sidney, Montana. Let's see if I can get through this without accidentally booking myself a one-way ticket to Siberia. (Or, you know, just forgetting to pack my toothbrush. Again.)
The Saga of Sidney, MT: A (Mostly) Unfiltered Experience
Day 1: Arrival and the Great Lobby Escape
- Time: Let's just say "sometime after the sun considered showing up in Montana." Flight delay? You betcha. My internal clock's already gone haywire.
- Location: Sidney-Richland Municipal Airport (SDY!) - I kid, I kid. It's tiny, bless its heart.
- Transportation: Rental car – a sensible (and slightly boring) Toyota Corolla. Fueling up involves much more staring at cows than I'd expected.
- Arrival: Candlewood Suites, Sidney. Okay, first impressions: clean, which is a massive win. The front desk lady, Brenda, was sweeter than a whole barrel of molasses. Bonus points for her impeccable hair.
- Quirky Observation/Emotional Reaction: The lobby. It's… spacious. And smells faintly of freshly-baked something, which immediately triggers a craving for cinnamon rolls. I wonder if they have room service? (Spoiler alert: They don't. Sigh.) Seriously, I considered setting up camp inside the lobby to eat the free breakfast or the free coffee.
- Imperfection: I immediately locked myself out of my room trying to show off my 'cool lock-picking skills' (which I totally don't have). Brenda, bless her, swooped in with a spare key, saving me from a night of sleeping on the lobby sofa. Humiliation level: High. Coffee cravings: Still raging.
- Evening: Settling in, unpacking. Not nearly enough outlets, I tell you! World's first problem. Dinner at some local diner that's probably seen more history than I have. The burger was decent, but the fries… oh the fries were a work of art. My personal heaven.
- Ramble: Man, I'm tired. The air feels different here, cleaner. A bit chilly, but it's a good chilly. I'm actually liking this whole 'middle-of-nowhere' vibe. Though, let's be real, am I a little scared of the dark? Maybe a little.
Day 2: The Great Outdoors (And My Inner Couch Potato)
- Morning: Free breakfast (finally!) - It was the usual buffet. I was going to starve myself to save some money, but oh well. The coffee was strong, which is vital when conquering the world, or at least conquering a trip to the local grocery store for snacks.
- Location: Theodore Roosevelt National Park (North Dakota, but close enough!) - Driving! Driving! The endless, beautiful, prairie!
- Opinionated Language: Okay, people. This park is STUNNING. Like, actually, genuinely, jaw-droppingly gorgeous. The badlands! The wild horses! The sheer vastness of the sky! I'm not a 'nature person,' per se, but this… this I can get behind.
- Anecdote: I almost drove a thousand miles to see a bison. On the drive in, I saw a herd of wild horses, and I did get emotional. They were majestic, strong, and free. I wish I could jump out of the car like that.
- Imperfection: Got a teensy bit lost on the hiking trail. (Blame the map? No. Blame my questionable sense of direction? Yes.) Ended up adding an extra hour to my hike, which, honestly, felt like pure torture to my office-worker legs. I should've brought more water. And maybe a snack.
- Quirky Observation: The silence. Holy moly, the silence! It's so quiet out there, it's almost deafening. It's also probably the most peaceful I've felt in, oh, a decade.
- Evening: Back at the hotel. Netflix and chill (with a side of regret for not ordering pizza. I do love pizza.)
- Emotional reaction: The hike was nice, but my feet hurt. Bed sounds heavenly.
Day 3: Sidney Exploration (And the Search for Civilization)
- Morning: Another breakfast (gained so much weight, I'm never getting on a scale again). Seriously, that coffee, though. It's like rocket fuel.
- Location: Downtown Sidney. Yes, I ventured into the heart of the beast!
- Transportation: My trusty, slightly-smudged Corolla.
- Opinionated Language: Downtown Sidney is just… a small town! I'm not saying that as a bad thing. It's quaint. And charming. And the people are unfailingly polite. I mean, they even smile! What is this, the 1950s? In a good way, though.
- Imperfection: I went into a antique shop and accidentally broke a thing. I didn't. Just checking to see if you're paying attention!
- Anecdote: Tried to buy a souvenir cowboy hat. The shop owner, bless his heart, looked me up and down and said, "Honey, that hat just ain't right for you." Okay, fair enough. I'll stick to something more… me. But oh my gosh, the antique shops!
- Doubling Down: Found a local bakery. I bought a single chocolate chip cookie. It was the best cookie I've eaten in my entire life. I ate it in the parking lot. I actually started crying. They have magic baking powers. I'm not kidding. I'm getting another tomorrow before hitting the road.
- Evening: Back at the hotel. Packing. My memories? Priceless. My clothes? Slightly dusty and in need of a good wash. But who cares?
- Emotional Reaction: I felt good. Really good. I'm going to buy five dozen chocolate chip cookies.
Day 4: The Departure (And the Cookie Coma)
- Morning: One last free breakfast. One last cup of coffee.
- Location: The bakery. Repeat of the experience.
- Transportation: The Corolla, loaded with cookies.
- Emotional Reaction: I'm sad to leave, but also slightly ecstatic to return to my creature comforts. The cookie coma is real, though.
- Messy Structure:
- Checked out. Brenda smiled. I smiled, too.
- Hit the road.
- Goodbye, Sidney. You were weird. You were wonderful. I'll never forget you.
Final Thoughts:
This trip was messy, imperfect, and utterly human. I got lost. I ate too much. I probably embarrassed myself on multiple occasions. But I also saw something beautiful, experienced something real, and discovered the best damn chocolate chip cookie in the world. And, honestly? That's a win, right? Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to nap. Far, far away from the world.
