“Just like home!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 1, 2013

This is the first review I've ever written, but I just HAVE to write it. My husband and I received a complimentary one night stay at the Homewood Suites by HIlton on the Waterfront, so we took a quick trip to Wichita for New Year's Eve. It was WONDERFUL! Everybody was so friendly...from the front desk to the gals cleaning the rooms to the gals fixing the breakfast. Since it was New Year's Eve, it was obvious they had special events which were very nice. However, what impressed me the most was how comfortable and quaint everything was. I felt like I was in somebody's home. The front lobby was inviting enough to just sit and visit. The lounge area was so comfy, too. It had a couch, chairs, and was decorated for Christmas...it looked just like a family room in a private home. They even had DVD's we could borrow and watch - GREAT SELECTION, too! Our room was equally as nice. The bed felt like we were sleeping on a cloud -- SERIOUSLY! Since we had received a complimentary nights stay, I thought perhaps it was a new hotel, but we were told it's over six years old. It was snowy and cold, so we couldn't sit outside, but we decided we wanted to return sometime when we could sit out back and enjoy the outdoors. HIGHLY RECOMMEND this hotel!

Thank you for your amazing review. We know you lead a busy life and really appreciate you taking the time to let others know the great experience you received during your stay. We hope you got to take advantage of the Jazz band we had playing during New Years Eve. We do have them play one night a week, every week. During your next stay, hopefully it will be a little warmer for you to enjoy our lakeside landing area. There is a gazebo with comfortable seating, 2 BBQ grills, a .6 mile walking path and our Lakeside Landing Bar available to you. We look forward to seeing you again soon!

“Absolutely Charming!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 30, 2012

We were only passing through and just needed a room for the night, but I found myself wishing we had more time! From the point we turned into the Waterfront complex, we could tell we were in for a treat. Beautiful hotel. Beautiful lobby. Beautiful room...

We are a family of 5. Our room had a nice size living area with a pull-out sofa, work table (with PLENTY of outlets for all of our electronic devices!), and a nice TV with a DVD player (we rented a DVD from the lobby - good selection to choose from for adults and kids). The kitchen area was small but very adequate while charming and well stocked with a full-sized fridge, a 2 burner stove, dishwasher, microwave, and all the dishes/utensils you could need. As Hhonors members, they provided us with a few extra treats in the room (Milano cookies and bottled water). There was a note welcoming us to the room, and although it had the wrong name on it, we won't hold that against them. :)

The bedroom was quite impressive… two queen size beds with AMPLE room all around. It had another nice sized TV and DVD player and an armchair by the window. The furnishings/decor is absolutely beautiful... very cozy and warm. The beds are very comfortable with a variety of pillows to choose from and more blankets/linens in the closet. Ironing board and iron, hair dryer,

We peeked at the pool area (didn't have time to utilize it) and it is very nice and clean. Would've loved to have had the time to enjoy it. The bathrooms in the lobby (or "loos" as their signs from London depict) were very clean and lovely.

The free breakfast in the morning was well done. Scrambled eggs, sausage patties, potatoes & onions, biscuits & gravy, oatmeal, fruit, yogurt, do-it-yourself waffles with toppings, pastries… plenty to satisfy your morning hunger. The dining area was lavishly decorated for Christmas - stunning.

This hotel certainly put some money into their decor, and it shows. I would be VERY comfortable there for an extended stay. We come through Wichita often during our travelling and we will definitely remember this hotel. Highly recommend.

I really like this hotel nice rooms will all amenities. Staff is super! Breakfast spread is good. My only complaint is the super tiny work out room w no free weights!! They will give you a pass to the YMCA which is about a 5 min drive. They Y is pretty nice actually - but that's another review.

Thank you for the review you posted on Nov. 12th. We were able to review your response about our fitness center that is stocked with top of the line Pre-Cor Equipment . We apologize the space is more limited than other hotels you may have visited. We are glad to hear you were told about our YMCA passes for an alternate option for your work-out routine. We also have other great amenities like our .6 mile walking/jogging path behind our hotel and yoga mats and options for In-Room work outs. We truly value you as a guest and appreciate your business! If you have any other questions or there is anything I can assist you with, please feel free to email me at Justine.Ratcliffe@hilton.com or call (316)260-8844.

“Nicest Homewood I have ever stayed in”

By far the nicest Homewood I have ever stayed in. Service and accomodations were all outstanding. Everyone was very friendly and helpful. Missed the evening reception and dinner but the breakfast was very nice.

Thank you for the great review from your past stay with us. Customer service and quality of amenities is something we take very seriously. With the weather cooling off, we hope you were able to enjoy a cup of Hot Chocolate from our pantry area while you were here. We have officially put up our holiday decorations. Hopefully you can come back and join us during the holiday season. This year we have started a tradition for each guest to sign an ornament to be displayed for many years to come. We truly value you as a guest and appreciate your business. We look forward to your next stay with us.
