Great location and staff, okay food, not so great pool.
Pros:

We chose this hotel out of several in the area for its suites, saltwater pool and included breakfast. The suite was clean and comfortable, and the kitchenette was equipped well enough, but could use an updated coffeemaker and better quality coffee.
The location is great - very close to the antiques and farmers markets, and a short drive to the village and other amenities.
The pool was disappointing. It’s small, shallow, too warm and there didn’t seem to be much movement. There were clumps of hair and a rather large dead bug in the water, and the pool deck is quite slippery when wet. It wasn’t well lit, and didn’t seem to be used much.
The breakfast was fine, just average, although there were a number of options, as was the food at the manager’s reception. However, the service was exceptional no- the staff helpful, friendly and accommodating.
The hotel was recently renovated, has good wifi and seems to have quite a few long-term guests, which contributed to a lively and welcoming atmosphere.
The price was competitive so we would definitely consider staying here again knowing what to expect.

Comfortable stay, good amenities, great breakfast. Would absolutely stay again.
Pros:

Fabulous hot breakfast with foos that actually tasted good. Lots of items to choose from. Room was very comfortable, larger than what I expected. Good amenities and a table to do work was much appreciated. Also, good number of plugs for electronics. Location was easy to get to, quiet, and like that Sobeys and Shoppers Drug Mart were close by.

Cons:

Check-in staff could have been friendlier.

Enjoyable stay and loved the proximity to the market
Pros:

Breakfasts was not impressive either morning. Eggs were cold and dry. Sausage both mornings were under cooked and not appealing-needed done browning-turkey sausage not nice and tasteless. Hot buffet was on the cool side. We are not picky but there was a lot to be desired. You need to really review menu and spend time with preparzz as toon staff. It was not a “Hilton” standard.

Cons:

Good comfortable large room-very clean. Housekeeping staff went aboard and beyond. Kitchenette well stocked. Loved our stay except breakfast-which could be readily remedied.

Excellent place to stay to visit St. Jacob’s market
Pros:

Breakfast was a great selection

Cons:

The breakfast was a little hectic. You just had to wait for more to come out. They ran out of the cut up fruit. Maybe a little longer would make it easier to accommodate so many people.

Extremely frustrated
Pros:

I had asked this morning for a late check out one additional hour.l was denied from the hotel and supported by homewoodsuites customer service because housekeeping could not accommodate the request.,due to heavy schedule.l have stayed at this hotel 6 nights in the last two weeks and had housekeeping maybe once.However now l am being told there to busy.l am a 72 year old handicapped man who never complains.l have a son in hospital and l am traveling back and forth from toronto .l had told them this but l guess customer service has gone the opposite direction from modern technology.

I won’t be staying here ever again.
Pros:

Honestly customer service was terrible. If you don’t believe me, go and find out the hard way, there are many hotel options in the vicinity. I’d recommend going there.

Fabulous winter getaway!
Pros:

We really enjoyed this visit at the Homewood. The room was clean and welcoming. The bed and pillows were especially comfortable on this stay. My favourite of all was the warm water in the pool which made for a terrific, pleasant swim on a cold, winter's night. Breakfast was comprehensive and tasty. Everything was beautifully decorated for the Christmas season. A very pleasant stay. Would highly recommend!

Cons:

Nothing.
