“Great stay!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 19, 2012

We stayed in a king suite with our 2 kids (age 3 yrs and 2 months) while in town for a soccer tournament. The rate was awesome - less than we usually spend - and the room was very nice. It wasn't quite as big ad I expected, but we managed pretty well. Everything was very clean, the staff was nice, and the location was great - very close to some huge shopping and restaurant options! The only complaint I have is the timing for breakfast - they advertise that the hot breakfast is from 7-10am but both mornings we were there, we had to wait until almost 7:15 for the actual hot items to be available. It's nice to have it be fresh, but not so nice when we needed to he out the door by 7:10 to get to a game! The food itself was great, though. We would definitely consider staying here again!

Hello Ford Family,

It was a pleasure to have you stay with us and especially to give us such a great review on Trip Advisor.

I do apologize for the breakfast being late and sincerly hope it was the only time this has happened. I would hate to think we advertise something that is not true. Unfortunately for you it was late and again I apologize, but I am looking into it to ensure it does not happen again.

Also,we are looking forward to you returning to your home away from home!!

Sincerely,
Norman Eaton
General Manager

“Enjoyable weekend Stay”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed November 15, 2012

This hotel is in a great location. Many restaurants to chose from that are in walking distance. The rooms are nice and clean with full size mini-kitchens. The hot breakfast that they are offer was very nice. The Hotel staff were also very friendly.

“Great place for a long weekend”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed October 17, 2012

I have high expectations of Homewood Suites and this one fulfilled them all. The ONLY negative I can think of is that the 2 bedroom suite has a pretty small living room. Service was awesome and the room was immaculate. The maid went out of his/her way to ensure there was enough coffee for 3 people. I will stay again!

Room Tip: Got carried away...no real "room service" available, but all else was great!

Dear travelVA98,

Thank you for your recent stay with us and we are happy that it was an enjoyable time for you. Also we wnt to thank you for posting such a positive response on Trip Advisor.
You are correct, our 2 bedroom suites does have a smaller living room area, but this is mostly so that the bedrooms can be a bit larger.

I wlll pass this review to our Housekeeping Manager so he can share with his staff. We all like to hear good news!

Thank you and we hope you come back to our home soon.

Sincerely,
NormanE

“Feels Like Home”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed October 15, 2012

Two night stay for three business travelers. We received an enthusiastic welcome upon late arrival. Suite was clean, very comfortable. Lots of pillows without having to ask for extras. Staff was friendly and helpful. Buffets were tasty and plentiful. Location in a quiet cul-de-sac allowed quick walk across the street to Olive Garden, Applebee's, TGIF for additional food choices.

A fellow guest left a bagel in the toaster which created a fire alarm. Smoke filled the hallways, but the staff was quick to react, informing guests and setting up fans to remove smoke.

Convenience to BWI Airport is a plus. We will definitely make this our preferred stay when in the area on business again.

“Excellent value !”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed October 1, 2012

Booked 3 suites for ourselves and other family members coming into the area on last minute basis. We honestly didn't know what to expect, since the rates seemed freakishly low. Reception was great, providing quick check-in. The 1BR suites are on par with, or better than, suites we've had at more than twice the price. (Doubletree, Embassy, for ex.)

Didn't really need kitchen, but it seemed well-equipped, and the ice-maker was appreciated. Large flatscreens in LR and BR, roomy bathroom (vanity/sink are separate, in BR area.) Amazing storage, which, again, we did not need, but anyone staying longer would be glad to have. Even the vanity area had drawers and cupboards for storage; this was a welcome change from the usual scenario where some of my cosmetics have to go back in my bag, or else on the floor. Grooming products from Bath & Body Works were a nice touch.

Our entire party enjoyed the breakfast offerings. The buffet is presented in a user-friendly, no-bottleneck traffic design, also an improvement over suite properties such as Residence Inn.

Our one complaint is that the bed did not seem like a true king. This might not be an issue for most people, but, at 6'8" tall, my husband doesn't sleep all that well with feet hanging off the foot of the bed ! Since it was only for 2 nights, not a big deal.

All in all, this hotel provides excellent value for the $$.

Dear mofongo,

Hope you are having a wonderful day!!

Thank you for your recent stay with us and most importantly giving us such a high rated review on Trip Advisor.

It really means alot to us and we will do our very best to maintain our guest loyalty. As for the king bed, i was informed that there are actually two sizes for the king bed. There is a larger king bed called the California king (i think that is what it is called). But being a tall man myself, I know what it is like to have your feet hanging over the bed. Not comfortable. :)

But overall, I really do appreciate you staying with us and being a senior contributor, the high rating is a plesant plus.

If you have not alreday, with the high volume of travel, please consider becoming a Hilton Honors reward member. The perks are really nice.

Sincerely,
Norman Eaton
