Would have been 5 stars if the pool was working, but they did offer for us to go next door to the hotel pool if we would like swim. The new hotel was very clean and rooms were very nice. Would definitely stay again and very close to Adventure Land which we were going to the following day.

The ice machines had water fill stations but were inoperable. Front desk said they were not hooked up but not sure why. Also, understand hotel is pet friendly so it is very important that the floors and furniture are cleaned & sanitized to keep the dog smell and all furniture clean and sanitary for other customers. My couch smelled a bit like a dog slept on it. I brought that the attention of the front desk. They said the would take care of it. Other than that, accommodations were great!

Temperature control is locked at 68 and one of ours didn’t work. You can see through the Kleenex, paper towel, and toilet paper they are so thin. The water pressure is that of a morning sprinkle. They skimp just about everywhere they can while charging premium rates. Would not stay here again.

Terrible! I have been trying to cancel my reservation for over 48 hours without any word from the manager at this hotel. I am unable to stay because of the snow storm and am not at the hotel premises nor will I be. This is terrible service by the Home2 Suites staff and potentially Expedia.

Beautiful room with plenty of space to enjoy with the family. Wonderful breakfast with plenty of seating space. My only issue is the animals that other guests bring in due to my severe allergies. I get it and am happy they are pet-friendly, but for those of us who cannot breathe, it makes finding a nice hotel with no pets hard.
