Hotel is nice overall. The valet was extremely helpful. Checked in late, room did not have shampoo, fire alarm hanging off wall. Sofa pull out had no sheets and the mattress had stains. Tried to get a late checkout but couldn't bc short staffed in housekeeping. Front desk in morning not really helpful. Valet was awesome he kept our bags so we could sight see before flight since we couldn't get a late chk out.

It was very hard to use the key card to get in your room and go up and down in the elevator. My TV didn’t work the second day. No one came to fix it although they said they would come three times I was I’m asking to be compensated for it. However, the staff was very personable and the breakfast is very good.

Inadequate Motion Activated Air Conditioning

We stayed at the Homewood Suites on a normally hot week in July. The motion-activated air conditioning was not up to the task; it was unpleasantly warm in the room during our stay (we never got the temperature in the room below 77 degrees). We booked a one bedroom suite, but the motion activation sensor and the single cooling vent were in the bedroom. So we couldn't hang out in the living room area (because the air conditioning wouldn't sense us and turn on, and even if we got the air conditioning to turn on, the living area didn't cool off). The motion activation required a lot of motion--after two days of the AC not turning on when we got back to the room, we started dancing in front of the sensor for about ten minutes to turn it on. And it turned off overnight while we were sleeping, so we'd wake up around 4 am unpleasantly warm again. In addition, some mold in shower and discoloration on shower curtain; property generally worn. Only herbal tea provided in the room, no caffeinated tea. Conditioner bottle was empty. Good location, large room, convenient amenities. But I would not stay here again in the summer.

The staff was extremely accommodating. I informed the staff that I was traveling with my child with autism. The staff member was able to change my room near exit and on the lowest floor he had available. The changes made our stay so much better.
