"Wonderful hotel, location, and service! We booked through Expedia and initially there was a small hiccup with our room but Ange was quick to offer a better replacement and accommodation. Rooms were spacious and spotless. All the staff was friendly and courteous. Our girls loved the pool and the continental breakfast was one of the best we've had, with different offerings such as delicious cartinas tacos! Overall 10/10 and we'd definitely stay here again. Thank you very much Ange and all the Homewood Suites staff for a wonderful stay!!"
