“Very clean and nice hotel.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 10, 2013

Hotel is well kept with very friendly employees. Workout facility is small, but everything was in working condition and was sufficient for a good workout. Rooms are very nice and comfortable. Enjoyed the breakfast and mangager reception. It would be nice if it started a little bit later and ended a little bit later, but the food was very good and plenty of choices.

Thank You for the great review of our property. We were able to review your response about breakfast times ending a little too early. Thank you for bringing that to our attention. We know breakfast is the most important meal of the day. We would love to hold a breakfast plate aside for you to pick up in the mornings, at your convenience. We also offer breakfast-to-go bags that you can pick up if you ever have to leave before breakfast starts. Just notify the front desk if the breakfast times do not accomodate your needs and we would be happy to work around your schedule. We look forward to seeing you in the future.

“Homewood Suites at the Waterfront is always a stellar experience -- we prefer not to stay anyplace else in Wichita.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 6, 2013

The room, the bed, the food, the experience are always excellent. The hotel is quiet, clean, welcoming and comfortable. We ALWAYS choose Homewood Suites at the Waterfront when we are in Wichita. There are wonderful restaurants within walking distance, and the general location of the hotel works for everything we need to do.

Room Tip: The presidential suites are wonderful, but every one of the other rooms we've stayed in has been...

“We love this place! Highly recommend it.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 31, 2013

Clean, friendly beautifully decorated, and the food served is delicious. We stayed here for the 2nd year in a row checking in on Thanksgiving night. When we asked where there was a restaurant open, they quickly gave us the information, but then invited us to stay for drinks and Thanksgiving dinner "on the house". What a wonderful evening we had - including borrowing a free DVD movie from their extensive library to watch in our room. This place is several miles off of the freeway, but well worth the drive - trust me. We make it a point to stay her on every trip we take through the area. We talked with a couple who are staying there for 3 months because it's like a home away from home.

“Lovely hotel, unless you are travelling with a pet.”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed January 23, 2013

I've stayed at Homewood several times, and I've always chosen the "presidential suites," which have a jacuzzi tub. During my last stay, I noticed someone had their dog there and was thrilled, since I sometimes need to travel with my pet. When I called to reserve a room for my next trip with my VERY well-travelled Golden mix, I of course requested the suite I usually stay in. But no, they said, pets aren't allowed in the jacuzzi suites. So I chose to stay somewhere else, and have not been back.

I think only allowing pets in certain rooms is ridiculous. Either you are a "pet-friendly" hotel or you aren't. Yes, the jacuzzi suites have nicer bedding than the regular suites, but that's why I have a dog bed. And dog hair WILL vacuum, quite nicely in fact. And Rascal has stayed at properties MUCH nicer than the Homewood Suites: The Joule in Dallas and the Hotel Monaco in Denver are two examples. ALL of their rooms are "pet friendly." In my opinion, Homewood is Wichita's second-nicest hotel. The grounds are lovely, the hotel is well maintained and I love the Wellness Suite. But I won't stay there again because of their pet policy. I always look for rooms with a jacuzzi or soaking tub when I travel, so a "regular" room isn't an option for me. As far as I'm concerned, they are not a pet friendly hotel at all and it's silly to advertise as such. It's like saying you allow people to bring their kids, but only if they stay in your less expensive rooms. They are talking out of both sides of their mouth and they simply can't have it both ways. Sorry Homewood, but you've lost a customer. I'll stay at the Ambassador, the new hotel in town and hands-down the most luxurious. And they allow pets. Anywhere.

Room Tip: The Wellness Suite is gorgeous. IF you don't take your dog!

Thank you for your review of our property. Your feedback is a crucial tool we use in order to improve our customer service. As you mentioned, we are a very pet friendly hotel. We understand that pets are just as part of the family as children are and we want them to feel welcome when you travel. We also understand that some guests may not be as pet-friendly as we are. To ensure that all our guests feel at home while being away from home, we do have certain suites that are pet friendly with our normal pet policies of. You are a valued memeber to not only hilton but our hotel specifically. There are certain situations that we do make exceptions for. In the past, we have had a larger refunable deposit to accomodate your loved ones in our Presidential Suites. I would love to speak with you about this further. We do want to ensure we are your choice hotel while in Wichita. I look forward to speaking with you soon.

“Great Place!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 23, 2013

This was a trip with an adult daughter and two young grandchildren. The property was immaculate, the staff was wonderful, and the amenities were greater than I expected. Even the stair wells and elevator smelled fresh and clean. The location is an advantage as well. This is on our "keeper" list!

Room Tip: If travelling with small children, request a room at the end of the corridor, as the kids' noise...

Thank you for your great review of our property. It is good to hear that your had a great visit. We have many fun things to do with children on our Lakeside Landing area. Especially when traveling, we understand they have a lot of energy to burn. Hopefully they got to take advantage of our 6 hole putting green, sports court area and indoor swimming pool and hot tub. We look fowarad to seeing you again on your next weekend get-away.
