I LOVE staying at Home2Suites! The rooms are spacious and clean, and have everything a family needs while traveling. I did laundry, my family enjoyed the pool and the fitness center as well. The breakfasts were amazing and we looked forward to them all three mornings. My only complaint was that I am very sensitive to pet smells- and since it has become a pet-friendly hotel, there was a large uncovered jar of smelly dog treats, and I felt that the air wasn't as fresh due to lingering pet odors....

Home2Suites offers a consistent and comfortable stay for our family. We will continue to use their chain as needed in the multiple states we've visited. I was surprised by a parking charge however. Because I booked through Orbitz it was not highlighted/divulged that I would have to pay an extra $25 per car parked in their lot. I had no choice but to pay it as we did not have other parking options for our two cars. The front desk staff says it would have been made apparent that there was a...

I’m always nervous staying at hotels out of town because you just never know the conditions your walking into. So when we walked into the lobby we were greeted with smiles and a big hello from the staff. They were very welcoming and accommodating. We checked in late so the staff gave us food options in the area. That was helpful. We walk into our room AND IT WAS CLEAN!!!! Honestly the pictures on their website really do the room no justice!! The rooms are so much better in person. Our room was...

Shout out to the morning/afternoon front desk staff 10/25 that moved my girlfriend and I to a similar room that had natural sunlight. We both struggle with depression and natural sunlight helps us a ton in the mornings. I overlooked this in the booking process and picked a room that didnt work for us, the front desk staff were understanding and so friendly. It sounds silly to make such a big deal about it but it was a really big deal to us
