Went to check in At 420pm. Only 1 of the 2 rooms reserved was ready and no ETA when the other room would be ready. Asked for some sort of compensation, like the $45 parking fee. Lee M. Supervisor said she couldn’t only her general manager could and she wouldn’t be back until Monday. On Friday at 1043 am I requested for rooms to be located near each other and the young lady told me she set it up. However at check in I was told the rooms were on different floors. I went back and forth with her respectfully for 10 minutes as I felt she was being dismissive. We had arrived from Va with my 80 year old mom in tow. Tired and needed to be at an event by 6. That did not happen thanks to Homewood Suites staff. I requested a refund and again was told she could not. Then after requesting to speak with her superior several more times Lee M gave me a refund. Inconsiderate staff even though they were the cause of inconvenience, at 435, I was told room was still not ready and they still didn’t have an ETA

I booked a room online on Saturday to attend a funeral being held on Friday. Our stay was scheduled to start Thursday and check out Friday. Online it stated I wouldn't be charged until check in and gave me a conformation for my room. On Tuesday I received an email stating my stay wasn't guaranteed now without payment DESPITE everything listed on their website in multiple places. I reached out to the hotel and they said what I saw online was no longer valid despite me reading VERBATIM what was still in front of my face and they now needed FULL payment to reserve my room. I told them I wasn't comfortable paying in full without having actually stayed yet and offered to pay partial, after quit a few "let me place you on hold"s they said a partial payment was fine. Wednesday I get an alert that they were trying to charge two separate cards WITHOUT my approval for the remainder amount owed, luckily I lock my card just incase of situations like this. I reached out to them AGAIN and now they're telling me they once again need full payment to hold my room, I reminded them of the partial payment agreement and they said it was no longer valid ONCE AGAIN. After they realized I was NOT going to cave, they then said the partial I already paid was actually fine. Once we arrived (at 1:15 AM Friday morning) we were told we could only valet park, which was $45 for 24 hours. Given that we arrived at 1:15 AM Friday that would have us in the clear until 1:15 AM the next day, because thats how 24

Room was very unclean. previous occupants trash was underneath the kitchen sink. I also don’t believe that the sheets were changed since there was boogers smashed into the sheets. This is very disappointing, especially for the cost. There was also dust on everything, including the ceiling fan. I turned it on the dust fell onto the bed…

Ok but could improve
It was ok for the price. Good sized room in a not so new hotel. Valet parking is $45, but you can park on the street if it is a weekend. Pool was good. Hot tub wasn’t functioning. The breakfast was ok. But those eggs; they tasted like plastic.

Property was easy to get to, Valet was a treat with traveling into the city with two littles. The room was surprisingly very spacious, the closet door was stuck so we didn’t move it in fear of messing it up and a few stains on the curtains but, very nice!

We really wanted to like this hotel but were very dissapointed and surprised Hilton would put thier name on it. The lobby is actually very nice but thats it. Rooms need a complete renovation. The carpet is dirty, doors are chipping, furniture is dilapidated. They ran put of most breakfast foods at 9:15 when breakfast ened at 10 am :(. The indoor heated pool was cold too. A positive was that it was quite at night though.

It is acceptable for this room price, I recommend to have more varieties with the breakfast, maybe you can charge a symbolical money to customers, to me it really doesn't matter.
