"We stayed at a Homes 2 Suites in one city and already booked a different hotel for 4 days at our next stop. The place we rented was a dump, but we had to stay the first night due to other commitments. In the morning, we immediately found the closest Homes 2 Suites, and with the incredible help from the front desk person (Paula), we were able to relocate for the rest of our stay. For the 2nd time, we found the staff to be super friendly, the rooms incredibly clean, the breakfast buffet was fantastic with real food, the blackout curtains worked great, the workspace was spacious, and everything worked great. Homes 2 Suites is our go-to spot for all future trips from now on!! Thank you so much for such a great experience and comfortable stay!"
