Pros:

Breakfast was good. Front desk staff was great! The room and hallways had a musty smell. It was just ok, thankfully I was only there at night for sleeping. But if were longer than a weekend, I would not have stayed.

Cons:

Musty smell in the hallway and rooms. Also I booked the room to pay at check in and they ran my card for the entire amount due before anyone even checked in. This was booked for a friend of mine and they were to pay at check in with their credit card. The hotel was not advised to run this charge in full PRIOR to check in. I have never had this problem with booking.com the hotel ALWAYS abides when I choose "pay at checkin" They then had to pay me back and I was upset because it over drafted my checking account because I was not expecting $600 to come out of my account! This left a bad taste in my mouth with the hotel. Although staff was nice, I would not book again.

You'll Be Welcomed.
Pros:

We always enjoy Homewood Suites for the comfort, friendly staff, and delicious breakfast buffets. We weren't disappointed in most areas. Dakota checked us in and was the perfect host, ensuring the check-in was smooth, our room was all that we expected and we were greeted with a smile and recognition of our honors membership. Our room was comfortable, and well-furnished with adequate towels, dishes, and furnishings. As with all Homewood Suites, the fitness center was well above most hotels with plenty of equipment, towels, water and comfort. Breakfast at this location was somewhat lacking in quality. The scrambled eggs were dry, the oatmeal very soupy, and the variety lacking with no fruit, and the quality overall did not meet Hilton's standards. The staff was friendly and we were efficiently checked out by Haven, again with a friendly smile. As regular travelers at Homewood Suites, we have plenty of opportunity to compare locations, and this one fell short on the breakfast. I do recommend it for a stopover and would use caution on entering and exiting the hotel driveways, since it is located on a busy main street with a location a few blocks from the Interstate exit, which causes extra traffic. One other point regarding the Interstate exit ramp. They closed it after 7 pm, so we had to drive out of our way to get back to the hotel. No fault of the hotel, of course, but better to try to arrive before they close the exit. Overall, I would give this location a B rating and would hope that they can improve the breakfast.

Fantastic! :)
Pros:

IDK what that first picture is xD but this hotel is very cute and aesthetic! They've got beautiful flowers that brings the place together. Their front desk team is super outgoing and helpful and the rooms have a nice touch to them and I was even given a larger room! You can enjoy a nice evening by their firepit and grill in the courtyard area. They also have a beer and wine wall that I find super convenient and unique. 10/10 stay!

Worth the money!
Pros:

The staff was amazing with everyone going out of their way to greet me and make sure everything was going well.
The hotel and room were immaculate.
Homewood always has a great breakfast and admire the options available to save a few bucks on food to start the day.
