My stay at Homewood Suites was quite mixed. While the views from the water side rooms were beautiful and the staff were incredibly friendly and responsive to my needs, the noise from the freeway-facing rooms was unbearable. The hotel's condition felt dated, and some areas, like the carpets and furnishings, could use a serious update to enhance overall comfort.
