Stayed here for a couple of nights recently. Here are the issues:
- smoke smell: This was supposed to be a non-smoking room, but guests blatantly disregard the policy. My neighbors on the left and the right were smoking away like chimneys and management told me that "only some of our rooms are non-smoking, and yours is"
- internet: connected ok, but I had to do some work and get on my office VPN and it died. Tech support helped, but it was touch and go. Ended up going to a cafe to get work done.
- peeling, broken furniture and fittings in the room: The two bedside lamps didn't work, the kitchen counter was peeling
- general filth: room, premises, laundry room were all filthy. found a couple of insects in the kitchen as well. We'd initially planned to make a few meals in the room to save some money but couldn't bring ourselves to cook there. ended up eating out
- No amenities: unlike other hotels close to the airport, there was no shuttle or park-and-fly. no business center either.

The good part:
- the young man we encountered at the front desk tried to help. He got us tech support on the phone for the internet issue, offered us a different room (which smelled of smoke also, so we declined) etc.

Overall recommendation: Avoid it if you can.

We got what we paid for. Stayed here after the power failures in the DC area. Nothing else was available. It was not great. But did not feel or look clean.

First room one in my part found trash and food from previous guest. She was moved to another room and they did not note that so the staff was not sure where they were. My mother had someone try to enter her room - at 10pm. It was a staff member - went to the wrong room.

Nothing bad happened - but it felt disorganized.

The rate was excellent - we didn't pay much, didn't get much.

Don't expect the Ritz, basic accommodations here. if that's what you need - it will suffice.

I have been staying at the Homestead for about 2 months. I had valuables stolen from my room but there was no sign of force entry. Maid service is once per week but not due for the day I was robbed. Neither Desk attendant nor home office were any use,help, or insight to check card key entry... merely a "sorry sir."

Also, the rooms are dated. KIitchens and bathrooms had bug problems and during weekly maid service they obviously attempted to spray for bugs because I noticed that the room had a terrible chemical stench every Monday and the bug disappeared until Friday.

The free WIFI was ok and they have a coin laundry on site but it is expensive - suggest you go two miles to use another coin laundry that is in better shape and less expensive. I've had a few different rooms here and they are not as NEW nor CLEAN as their website shows.

I suggest that you spend a couple of extra dollars to stay at the comfort suites (dulles) or if you are longer term then use craigslist to find a month to month room.

It is not that convenient to the airport (IAD) and 30 miles from DC.

I usually stay on the weekend for leisure, the front desk who works in Saturday is very friendly and helpful. He usually knows all my information as being regular customer for that hotel now. Quite place on the weekend and really enjoyed my stay . Would like to recommend it to others.
