Check in was at 3pm we got there a little after and had to waint until 5pm to get a room they claimed the room wasnt ready house keeping needed to clean it we booked in advance minday for the room on thursday there should have been plently of time to make sure it was all set. Usually the pool room is so muggy you can hardly stand it it was freezing felt llike we were outside the pool water was do cold you couldn't even swim you needed to take a hot shower to warm back up whivh was a huge disappointment as we had three children with us that was the only thing we were looking to enjoy. Breakfast was good had a wide variety of food the seats in the breakfast area were worn out felt like you were sitting on the floor but we made do as for the room itself it was good had plenty of room was clean. parking was odd apparently all parking out front of the hotel was for one of the restaurants we also were never told there was specific parking for hotel guests either so we parked out front and noticed when we were leaving that itnt hotel parking at least our vehicle didn't get towed we probably wont book here again unless its absolutely necessary will look at other places first

This was our second stay at this location. Our first was without hot water. We stayed only one night and found a second hotel. This stay, we chose it so that the kids would have the heated pool to relax in, but it was ice cold. I went to explain to the front desk the issue. She called someone to the pool who had no access to the closet. I asked if there was anyone on call or above the two team members there who could assist and was told there was no one but she could give a manager's email, which I took. I asked if there would be any change in the pool and she said no, but would check me out of my hotel and I could go find somewhere else or go home. It was 8pm and I had 2 kids and a 2.5 hour drive home, so none of that was possible. We went to our room and made the best of it. The woman at the desk in the morning was a delight, she apologized for the rudeness of the woman the night prior and walked me through what they were doing for the pool, which ended up needing a part. Had that been explained and something done the night prior, I would not have been as upset. Being told to go home was what angered me. At least show you are doing something to help your guests.

Overall the stay was terrific. Location was easy to get to and lots of food options near by. The room was spacious and modern. However, there was what seem to be some blood staining in the corner of the bathroom floor, to which we covered with a towel to avoid accidentally touching the area. There was a similar stain on the door I was able to clean off with some wipes, but the rest of the room/ kitchen area seemed to be clean. The breakfast buffet was different daily which was nice. The front desk staff was extremely accommodating and friendly.

The breakfast was good but on Saturday morning they didn't plan ahead so people were waiting for hours and kept being told "more is coming" even after waiting for hours they never brought more out.

It was impossible to sleep through and we got a terrible night’s rest. We will not stay here again.

We arrived at the property after 1:00 AM, following a drive of over 10 hours with three small children. Initially, everything seemed fine until I realized that the exterior door to our room could be opened without using the key card. I went down to reception, and the lady at the desk mentioned that she could offer a full refund if we wanted to move to another hotel, or she could have someone fix it in the morning. As you can imagine, moving to another hotel in the middle of the night with three kids was not an option, so I agreed to have it fixed the next day. When we left in the morning, no one was at reception. Upon returning in the evening, I checked the door again and found the same issue with the handle. I went back to reception and spoke with a different lady, who had no idea about the problem. She didn’t even bother to call or check with the previous staff to see what had been done or why no one had come to address the issue. To me, this clearly shows that they do not care at all about the safety or concerns of their guests. Honestly, what surprised me the most was that this happened at a Hilton property, where you expect a minimum level of service and security, especially for a hotel charging over $500 CAD for just two nights. The staff's attitude was as if we were staying at a hostel — completely careless and unhelpful. Moreover, the breakfast was the worst we’ve experienced so far in any hotel.

I typically love staying at Homewood suites. There is one person who works at the front desk who is super nice and hospital; however this time there was a newer/younger staff and it seem she didn’t know exactly what she was doing. We called day of to see if we could get early check-in and told we could come by at 2:30 by the time we got there one of the computers was down and there was a line to check-in. Additionally, our room had an odd smell to it.

I always stay here when visiting my mom in Schenectady and the front desk is always so helpful, patient and kind. Huge thanks to Colin for his warm reception. Manager covering during check out could use some of the hospitality training from the other staff. The room was clean but toiletries need to be freshened up as most are out but i bring my own so had it wasnt a dire need. Rooms are clean, bed pillows should be changed, pretty small and flat for a king size bed. Overall a good stay.
