The Spotlight on Candlewood Suites Kalamazoo By IHG

Comfortable, Convenient, and Concert-Ready in Kalamazoo

Modern and practical, Candlewood Suites Kalamazoo is a laid-back 2-star hotel located just a short drive from Kalamazoo’s top music venues, including Miller Auditorium and Waldo Stadium. With free WiFi, a 24-hour front desk, and spacious rooms equipped with kitchenettes, it’s a solid choice for travelers looking for affordable comfort after a big night out.

Perfectly positioned near Kalamazoo/Battle Creek International Airport, the hotel is especially convenient for out-of-town fans flying in for a show.

Why Concert-goers love it

Concert-goers appreciate the quiet location that’s still within close reach of major venues. The hotel’s late 12:00 PM checkout lets you sleep in after a night of music, and with a 24-hour front desk, late arrivals are no problem. There’s also a shared lounge space—a great spot to debrief with your group post-show. Having your own in-room fridge means you can stash those midnight snacks or pre-show drinks with ease.

Who this Hotel is great for

  • Groups of friends looking for a functional, budget-friendly base
  • Solo travelers flying in to see that once-in-a-lifetime gig
  • Couples planning a musical weekend getaway
  • Fans who prefer a quieter, more relaxed post-concert environment
  • Budget-conscious music lovers who want value without sacrificing convenience

Food and Drink Options

While there’s no full-service restaurant on-site, each room comes with a kitchenette and fridge, making it easy to prepare late-night bites. The hotel also features a grill area for a DIY dining experience, and there are plenty of casual eateries a short drive away. Breakfast isn’t served on-site, but with your own kitchen setup, you’re in control of your post-show recovery meals.

Nightlife Options

The hotel doesn’t offer on-site nightlife, but it puts you within easy reach of Kalamazoo's downtown scene, where you’ll find local bars, lounges, and live music spots. After the concert, head out or wind down in the hotel’s shared lounge space with fellow fans.

What People Say

Guests often praise the cleanliness and spaciousness of the rooms, especially the convenience of having a full fridge and microwave. The friendly staff and easy check-in process also get high marks. Reviewers frequently mention the hotel as a quiet and comfortable spot that’s great for a short stay in Kalamazoo.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests mention that the hotel lacks daily housekeeping, which may not suit those staying longer. Others note the location is somewhat car-dependent, so rideshare or rental is helpful if you're planning to explore the city or hit multiple venues.

The Bottom Line

If you're heading to Kalamazoo for a concert and want a clean, quiet, and budget-friendly place to recharge, Candlewood Suites Kalamazoo hits the right notes.

Liked: Traveling for my sister’s funeral. Staff was welcoming and accommodating.
Disliked: Not enough hooks or towel bars in bathroom. As a result, went through more towels than needed because we could not dry them.Common pantry not well stocked. I couldn’t even find a yogurt or milk to take a pill in an emergency.

Good for the price and...

Liked: I liked that the location wasn’t right in the city but still close enough to only have to have to to drive a few minutes for anything we needed.
Disliked: The room was not properly cleaned and stocked when we came in. There was also a smell to the room like someone had been smoking in it but they tried to cover it with a vanilla smell when the room was supposed to be smoke free.

Overall we were very pleased...

Liked: The spacious rooms were a huge plus. Very functional, it felt like home. The cleanliness was excellent. The clean upon request was a good change that we liked. We were able to refresh our towels and soap when needed, but enjoyed the option of finding our room just the way we left in.
Disliked: No breakfast.
