Leland B: Day 1: Church security planning for leadership personnelDay 2: Intruder awareness and response for church personnelThe good: Good basic information about starting a safety team. All stuff anyone with any background in law enforcement or security will already know. Very basic. Designed for a church that does not have a safety team ministry. Overcoming objections, creating a mission statement, etc.The bad: The PowerPoint had apparently not been updated for at least 5 years. There was no conceptual flow. Lots and lots of repetition. Quite a few times the presenter would bring up a slide then say, "oh we covered that already," and skip. About 4 hours of information in a 7 hour day.Wrote the previous paragraph after the first day. This was sold as a 2 day seminar. On the second day, the presenter explained that it is 2 one day seminars, and a lot of day 2 is repetition of day 1. So we got 6 hours of material in 14 hours of class time. Definitely not worth the money!The ugly: No reason for us to know all the famous people the presenter has been a bodyguard for, came across like bragging. Presenter claimed to have been in "hundreds of gunfights," then quickly glossed over the fact that most of them were simulated. Humility is one of Strategos' values, presenter needs more of it.
Mark Black: Jeremy, was our lead instructor, Awesome Christian man.... He had a passion for " protecting what matters most" I will take the class again.
Nick Léger: Great training, by great instructors. Highly recommended.

Alayna Bryan: This hotel is dumb. The hotel was overbooked but did not call to let our person, who had reserved the rooms very prior to visiting, know that they only had one room available for them. They waited until the night of while we were out to a concert to call and tell us that we would only have one room. The service in this place is ridiculous. I heard in the lobby that one man had waited over an hour for his single suites to be cleaned out. They should have had that done very prior to the check in time at 3pm. Then when we returned from the concert they told us there was nothing they could do and that the manager would have to call the following day to maybe give a refund. I would not suggest this place.
Noah Harlan: No, they overbooked a room that was booked in advance for 45 days!! So while we were at a concert they called and said they only had one room instead of the second. My parents had to drive 2 1/2 hours home after because they didn’t have a room to stay in.Rooms: 1/5|Service: 1/5|Location: 1/5 …More
Nikki Mickelson: Just received a call ( two days before our reservation) saying that they had to cancel our reservation because it is an extended stay hotel and there were extended stay guests that decided to stay longer. No comp offered. Now we have to pay high prices for last minute reservations elsewhere because it is also a concert night.Disappointed.
Michelle Hilden: Tried to book a room and they canceled because I don't live over 75 miles out of the area. Used a third party site and the room was already paid for and confirmed.Service: 1/5 …More

jackson remacle: Maybe the worst hotel I’ve ever stayed in, we payed for 2 rooms, one for two days and one for one day cause my uncle got here a day before us. The day we got there the check in personal was extremely rude and snippy when we asked when are second room would be ready, That I was sitting in there game room which was unlocked they promptly kicked me out with no reason and were quite rude about it. Not sure why had no time rules posed on it like the pool did so awful dissapointed

Misty Harris: Everything was clean and in order. I gave it a 3 star for the room because there was this musty smell throughout our room. It was very strong. I couldn't find where it was coming from. It never went away during our 3-day stay. The service and help desk people were friendly.Rooms: 3/5|Service: 5/5|Location: 5/5Hotel highlights Great view, Quiet, Great value …More
Jim C: We have stayed at Candlewood at least 9 weekends in the last year. The location is great and rooms are clean. And staff is friendlyHowever,things are changing. I have noticed a turnover in staff and well as management.With our last stay I was charged twice for a third night reservation(1st was made through Priceline)Long story short...the hotel would not return my calls after speaking with the manager..who BTW messed up the reservation.I finally had to contact my credit card company and they got the charges reduced (as of now)BUT NOT completely taken off. Better than nothing I guess.We will never return to this hotel.
Kaitlynn D: As always, the Candlewood Suites is a pleasure to stay at, this particular location even more so.I had to book two nights last minute due to inclement weather during my travels, and the front desk ladies were very accommodating. They got my dog and I into a last minute room and they were just overall very pleasant and sweet.The rooms are clean and filled with everything you could need for a short or extended stay, and the coffee in the room really is way better than other hotels.There is no complimentary breakfast at Candlewood Suites, but I vastly prefer their cupboard options, of which there are many.The facilities are plentiful and well-maintained, and this coupled with the lovely staff and clean and spacious room is why I continually seek out Candlewood over all other lodgings.Thank you all for your hard work, especially during the holidays, and for being so kind to my pup and I as we were stranded by the winter storm.
