We (me, my husband, and 4 kids) stayed at the Homewood Suites for 2 nights in July 2008.

The king bedroom suite was clean and comfortable. The king bed slept well. The ceiling fan is a nice touch I appreciate. The couch in the living room folded out into a double bed, which slept 3 of the kids, and we brought some sleeping bags. After pulling out the couch bed, there was still room on the floor for the sleeping bags.

The kitchen area has a full-size refrigerator, microwave, stovetop, toaster, and sink. We did not cook in the room, so I cannot comment as to how well the kitchen was stocked.

The first night, there were no pillows supplied for the sofabed. We called the front desk, but they were out of pillows. We did get a few delivered after another call for the second night.

Although it was hot in the middle of the summer, the pool is in a courtyard and was too cold for the kids to enjoy.

The free breakfast including both hot and cold items, but the staff did not do a good job of keeping it stocked. Also, trays would be nice for parents taking food up to kids in the room.

Parking is free and there is a free airport shuttle. It is also a short 10 minute drive to downtown Charlotte.

Overall, this hotel was clean and comfortable. The staff was friendly and even went above in delivering a left item to our house. However, the rating is only average because of the cold pool and problems with breakfast.

This hotel is located in a business area not far from the interstate or Charlotte Douglas Airport. Outside you could hear the frequent airplane roar but that was no issue inside. The property is very nice and typical for a Homewood. However in addition to the typical outdoor
pool it also had a putting green. Room was typical Homewood Suite, well kept and nicely furnished. Homewood has a free breakfast which is
top rate, not made to order like Embassy but more furnished than a typical Hampton. We also got a great weekend rate. Generally you can't
go wrong with Homewoods and this one is no exception.

We booked this hotel as part of a race package for the Coca Cola 600 over Memorial Day weekend.

In general, the property was clean and neat. The front desk personnel were polite and friendly. The food staff did a pretty good job at breakfast but we had to ask for replenishments of coffee and some of the foods each time.

The hotel seems to be undergoing a renovation, judging from the construction materials in the parking lot.

Our room had some deficiencies, which we brought to the attention of the front desk. They were not remedied. The room was missing a TV remote (it had two TVs). The icemaker was lacking a bin for ice so we couldn't have ice in the room. I didn't find any cooking pans so the stove was useless.

Last, of the five pillows, three smelled musty and had a disagreeable odor. This is first time I've encountered such a problem and it was a bit of a gross out, wondering how the pillows got that way. The housekeeping staff need to perform the sniff test occasionally.

We were placed in Room 102, which was right next to an exit. It got noisy when guests were arriving and departing. I would recommend requesting a room farther way. Also, the hotel is under the flight path of the airport and although the noise wasn't that bad, it is noticeable.

We stayed here for one night before we flew to Europe, for one night the day we returned from Europe, and one night before we flew from Charlotte to Albuquerque. I complained about the same problems each time, and each time got appologies but no improvements, so this hotel will not get any more chances. In short, the room was dirty, the breakfast was cold and the OJ was water with no concentrated juice, the coffee pot was heated from the previous day. The mattress was ancient and the bottom sheet kept coming off so I was laying on that unsanitary mattress, like thousands of guests before me. The noise in the hallway was caused by a sporting team or family of screaming little monsters whose parents had not taught them to be considerate of other people sleeping behind those walls, and the hotel manager would not intervene to ask them to be quiet, so I had to do it, and I am not quite as pleasant at 1:30 am as I am during the daytime. When we arrived for the 3rd night, the hotel receptionist said we did not have a reservation at all! We stayed here multiple times because we could afford it, we were supposed to get frequesnt flyer points, and because we didn't want to inconvenience a B&B family by arriving and leaving in the wee hours.
Don't stay here if you like to get sleep at a clean hotel. It was miserable to sleep there for $160 total after taxes.
