Worst hotel room ever. No elevator. No breakfast. Worn and dirty room. I am a diamond member, so i spend a lot of nights at hilton hotels, or at least i used to before this experience. Maybe change to Marriott.

Amazing Improvement Over Last Year

My experience at this hotel recently was much better than that of last year. Excellent service. Reliable wi-fi. Paying for parking and for breakfast was a bit of a surprise, but the prices were reasonable for the area.

Beware of this hotel

Reviewed By 530jumpman

I travel with my family regularly and we stay in hotels that we have researched as we have been disappointed by amenities or location in the past. This hotel was by far the worst experience we have ever had traveling. The first room we entered after check in smelled of raw sewer and the only sink, which is at the foot of the bed was the cause and would drain very slow. After moving to a second room we found a live bee in the bedsheets, blood stains on the walls and towels. It was late and we were exhausted from our day so we decided to sleep and leave after we got ready the next morning. First the shower water would not drain, our feet were in inches of a hotel bathtub shower. Second room service came into our room twice before 930 am when we where getting dressed. The second time room service came in my son was startled and hit his head on a dresser, resulting in 4 stitches on his forehead. And during our morning my wife got stuck in the elevator!! Best Western Plus accreditation has lost all of its reputation with me based on this stay. Beware of this hotel. This stay was by far the worst hotel stay I have ever had. The amount of issues we had here didn’t seem real, it literally felt like a nightmare!

Amazing Property and Wonderful Stay

Reviewed By jasminen308

This staff was so kind and attentive. We hosted a meeting in one of the conference rooms for about 60 people and throughout the entirety of it all, the staff was just so accommodating and professional. Also, shoutout to Aloha for helping organize our event! She's absolutely such a pleasure! The property itself is so clean, modern and well kept. Several of our guests stayed overnight and were absolutely enthralled by how wonderful their stay was. 10/10

Commendation to front desk associate “Yasmín!”

Reviewed By Valor24

This is a very nice property overall. I enjoyed the pool, spa, gym, and had two breakfasts. In particular I would like to commend and compliment front desk associate “Yasmín.” I had contacted her in the evening to resolve a noise issue and she was the most pleasant, understanding and helpful associate ever! She was a problem solver and exhibited exceptional customer service. So even if there were any other minor issues, my interaction with her made them all go away. Thank you Yasmín - a true asset to this Homewood Suites by Hilton!

Better than expected

Reviewed By jclarkin

A comfortable suite with a full size fridge, microwave, dishwasher, and cooktop was all we needed for our 4-day stay. As a bonus, the hotel had a social in the lobby for 2 of the nights, with tasty and complementary beer and wine. The room also included a free hot breakfast, which was far above the powdered eggs and cereal typical of hotels in this category. Overall, I was pleasantly surprised with the cleanliness and amenities.

Rundown property

Reviewed By waahi1200

Staff were very friendly and considerate. However, that cannot offset the poor condition of the rooms. I changed room once so my experience was based on 2 rooms. Everywhere (furniture, bedding, carpet, windows, curtains, AC unit in the room, even AC in the elevators) was dusty and smelly, toilet had stains and smelt, low ceiling, odd room design, small room, etc. I would not recommend it.

DO NOT GO HERE AS YOUR CAR MAY GET DAMMAGED ! STAY AWAY ?

Reviewed By 642richarde

I had damage done to my car by another guest who tossed a burning cigarette from there 3rd floor balcony and landing on the roof of my car and left a big brown spot . Most of it buffed off but there is still a very small spot burn in the paint. Still it should not have happen . Did report and did have a desk clerk look at before I left and still I have not heard back from a manger . 5 days now . Does anyone care at this hotel ? Wonder if they would care if that burning cigarette would have landed in the dry flower bed and started the hotel on fire and guests got hurt ?? I would not have expected this from a $125.00 night Hotel. I did contact Choice hotels.
