The outdoor temperature was 32 degrees, and there was no heat in my room while I was caring for my 6-month-old baby. Although the engineer eventually arrived and was very apologetic, the situation posed a serious concern.

Although we got confused on which hotel was the hotel we were staying at because of the location ,the staff were very courteous and informative upon arrival. The hotel was clean and tidy but out dated. In the entrance the chairs were ran down and needed to be replaced. The sink the the room smelled and the water wouldn’t go down.

My recent stay at the Homewood Suites was a bit of a rollercoaster. While there were some bright spots, several service gaps and hidden policies made for a frustrating experience. The Room & Amenities The room itself was nice and featured a very convenient kitchenette with a full-sized refrigerator, which is always a plus for longer stays. However, the preparation was lacking. The suite wasn’t fully stocked; we were missing basic items like washcloths and extra bedding for the pull-out couch. Dining Experience The complimentary breakfast was disappointing. Despite being kept in warmers, the food was cold, and the selection was very limited. Most concerningly, the cleanliness of the dishes was not up to standard—many plates and utensils still had visible food residue on them. Hidden Fees & Outdated Information Be aware that the information on Hotels.com is outdated. The site lists parking at $20, but it is actually $25 per night. This was an unexpected expense I only discovered upon arrival. The "No Balloons" Policy The most frustrating part of the stay was a strict "no balloons" policy that is not mentioned on the hotel website or third-party booking sites. I brought balloons for a special occasion, only to be told they weren't permitted on the premises. • I was only shown the policy document after checking in. • Because the balloons were non-refundable, this resulted in a total loss of money. • Management offered no compensation or flexibility for this lack of transparency.

We really like Hilton but..Room; My room was booked 15 days prior, even managed to arrive 4 hours earlier then checkin time just to arrive here after a 10 hour drive, and waited 3 hours after my 4pm checkin just to get my room, and the bathroom shower not being properly clean, and no bath soap.. But you already have my money so you win.
Safety hazard! Only noticed cause it caught my toe but hey oh well I already paid for it guess I should have noticed before stepping in to bathe.
Safety hazard, the hand rail in  the shower is protruding from the wall.. scraped my shoulder even while being careful, do to it being placed under shower head.
Dirtier then then picture can show.

Staff was courteous. Room was fine except the hot water tap was reversed without my knowledge. Cold was actually hot and hot was actually cold. There was no way to know this since there was only one handle. They did repair this and regrout the floor of the shower which had eroded. Also, I want the price of parking shown. Also, I would rather PAY for wifi that be forced to provide my data to join whatever the Hilton program demands I join just to get wifi
