"Nice property. Great location. We had a small family get-together between semesters .Were able to see so much in just a few days. Made great use of the pool area, as well as the lobby (playing board games in the evening). front of the hose staff were so friendly and helpful. We will be back."
"Homewood Suites is in the perfect location near the university. It was clean, had plenty of space, and they had a simple, but nice breakfast. We had to ask for extra sheets and a blanket for the pull out sofa. It was delivered promptly and the person who delivered it was professional. Highly recommend!"
"Easy on/off the interstate. Property is spacious, clean, and seems to be new. There is a gas station nearby with a car wash. Enjoyed having lunch at The Poke Bowl across the front parking lot (great restaurant, FRESH ahi tuna!). Breakfast foods were varied and better than many free hotel breakfasts. Check-in was quick and Shiloh was very kind, which I appreciated after 9 hours of driving."
