Overview
Candlewood Suites Pueblo by IHG is a low-key, 2-star roadside extended-stay hotel located about a mile from Interstate 25 in Pueblo, Colorado. It's built around suite-style accommodations rather than standard rooms, making it geared toward travelers who want in-room kitchens and a homier, longer-stay setup. With a 4.3 rating from 218 reviews, it has built a solid reputation among budget and mid-length-stay travelers passing through or working in Pueblo.
Rooms
All suites are casual in style and include free Wi-Fi, flat-screen TVs and a kitchen, so guests can prepare their own meals rather than relying solely on dining out. Upgraded suites step things up with dedicated dining and sitting areas, while the 1-bedroom suites go further with a separate living room featuring a pull-out sofa, useful for guests traveling as a small group or family. Loaner kitchen appliances are available for guests whose suite doesn't already include everything they need.
Dining & Amenities
The hotel includes free breakfast and free snacks, free parking, and an on-site gym for guests who want to keep up a workout routine while traveling. Outdoors, there's a gazebo and BBQ equipment for guests who want to grill or relax outside, and board games are available for evening downtime. These free perks and casual recreational touches support the hotel's positioning as a practical, no-frills extended-stay option rather than a full-service resort.
Location & Surroundings
Pueblo's Historic Arkansas Riverwalk and the Buell Children's Museum are both about 4 miles away, offering shops, cafes, events, and family-friendly exhibits. Other nearby attractions include the Rosemount Museum, Mineral Palace Park, El Pueblo History Museum, Sangre de Cristo Arts & Conference Center, the Pueblo Riverwalk, and the Leonardo da Vinci Museum of North America, all within roughly 4-6 miles.

Best for
This hotel suits extended-stay and work travelers who value an in-suite kitchen, free breakfast, and free parking over full-service amenities, as well as budget-conscious families who can use the 1-bedroom suites' pull-out sofas and living rooms. It's also a practical base for visitors wanting easy access to Pueblo's museums and riverwalk attractions, most of which sit within 4-6 miles, plus a short drive to Lake Pueblo State Park for outdoor time.
Travel tips
Being about a mile from I-25, the hotel is easy to reach by car and convenient as a stopover or base for exploring Pueblo without fighting downtown traffic. Most of the city's museums, riverwalk areas, and parks are a 4-6 mile drive, so having a car is recommended to make the most of your stay. If you plan to visit Lake Pueblo State Park or the Pueblo Reservoir, budget extra driving time since they're roughly 8 miles out.
