• It was very nice in the lobby, with a great pool and hot tub.
• They charged my credit card again for the room on accident, but I called back to have the charge removed.

“It was a great stay, and they were very nice. Will likely stay there again.”

• The attractiveness of the hotel.
• I liked everything.

“This hotel was extremely nice, and provided much needed escape and relaxation after a long day of travel. Loved the way in which the hotel was set back from the main road and the attractive bridge taking you onto the property. Stay was very nice and fabulous breakfast was provided in the am.”

• People at the front desk were nice.
• Smallest room Ive been in since Japan.

“Hotel was nice but I checked in around 6 pm and maybe all the good rooms were gone but I got two beds in a room that one bed would barely fit in. Couldn't even put the ironing board up. It reminded me of a hotel room you would get in Japan.”

• The room included a hot breakfast buffet and a hot dinner meal with beer and wine. Staff was very friendly and the suite was great.
• No signage to help people find the property from the road. Kind of secluded from road.

“This place was great for a business travel. Food was included with the room and made for a very economical trip for someone who does not have an expense account to charge meals. Property was clean and the staff friendly and helpful. The suite was an apartment style with separate lining and bedroom and a small kitchen, great for extended stay.”

• The quiet and beautiful location was perfect! The spaciousness of the king suite was incredible.
• Only negative I could find was the limited seating at the breakfast buffet.

“We were in Cary for a family wedding, and I was just one of the non-suite rooms for the price that I was paying. Instead, we were treated to a king suite, which includes a small living room, kitchenette and a separate king bedroom. We were treated as though we were paying full price for this room! My parents were insanely jealous of our suite and the sweet deal we received. I would highly recommend Homewood Suites in Cary for travelers of any age or for any trip.”

“This hotel made our trip as perfect as it could have been. It was like having our home on the road. Perfect for a small group of diverse aged, related by marriage travelers (traveler- age 53, mother-in-law (age 80) and niece (age 11).”

• This was a clean, attractive and comfortable space. The staff was quite accommodating and friendly.
• The only negative was that the couch in our room was uncomfortable.

“Homewood Suites was a beautiful hotel in a lovely setting. It is very convenient to many areas in Cary, Raliegh/Duram and Fuquay Varina. Lovely Jordan Lake is close by, as well as the University. My husband, teenage daughter and I had a wonderful stay. I highly recommend this hotel.”

• This was my first time at a Homewood Suite and I will be sure to return. Everything was excellent: the room, decor, ambiance, breakfast bar, etc.
• I exercise while on the road, so I found I found the exercise room lacking most of the weight training equipment that I use.

“The location is somewhat out-of-the-way, but once you drive up to the hotel, you know that you made the right choice. Well groomed grounds outside of the hotel give a wonderful first impression of what to expect. Once you enter through the doors, you are greeted by a well appointed lobby/breakfast area. The decor of the lobby area created a comfortable and pleasant ambiance. And of course, the suite was just marvelous. It had everything that one would want to guarantee an enjoyable and relaxing stay.”

• All the comforts of home, and then some. Very well equipped suites.
• Not enough breakfast tables, suite furniture slightly uncomfortable.

“When you factor in the full breakfast buffet and ability to cook in your room, this hotel is a good value even at rack rates. The location, although somewhat out of the way, fit our needs perfectly. The public areas are attractive and well-kept, and our room was clean and well-equipped.”

“I was very pleased with my experience at this hotel. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. The room was large with enough space to work in the kitchen similar to being at home. My kids were very please to have 2 televisions to work select from with cartoon network as one of the cable TV channel choices.”

• The breakfast and evening free buffet were great, also very quiet.
• Even in a non smoking room, the smoke from adjacent rooms came through especially in bathroom. Very annoying.

“This hotel is in the middle of a forest, and surrounded by businesses, (although close to restaurants etc). It was quiet clean and the staff friendly. The breakfast and evening buffet was unexpectedly good. Bed was a Hilton quality king, very comfortable, too many pillows would end up on the floor. Make sure they change pillow cases if they do. MY biggest complaint; being a suite hotel with business people as primary client el, the wireless connectivity in the hotel was abominable!!! The staff said it had been changed, but still it took forever to do anything online. This is a MUST have in a business hotel, actually ANY hotel nowadays. The other problem was the smoke from other "smoking" rooms coming into the bathroom area through vents. Made the room very disagreeable from time to time.”

• A nice hotel in a park setting.
• It is very difficult to find the hotel.

“Navigating through the I-40, I-440, US-1 and US-64 maze is not for the faint hearted. Do not try it in the darkness. Once you find the covered bridge, you are treated to a quiet hotel in nice park-like surrounding. The non-suite rooms with two double bed remind me of a cruise ship. The full breakfast buffet is definitely above average.”

• Clean, well kept, friendly staff, nice breakfast.
• Refrigerator made noise, couldn't sleep. Toilets overflow very easily.

“I've overflowed about 5 toilets in my entire lifetime. Three of those times took place at this hotel (once on our last visit and twice this visit). The second time (this visit) I was very careful and it still got backed up. This means you have to call the front desk and wait about an hour for their very slow room service to finally show up with the plunger. On our last visit they made me come down to the lobby to get the plunger myself - quite embarrassing when it's full of people. The refrigerator in the room made so much noise this visit that I lost an entire night of sleep. Other than these problems, the hotel is very clean, well kept, with a friendly staff. The breakfast they serve in the morning is great.”

• Floor went by bathroom, my son fell hit his head.

“The carpet was soaked with something just outside the bathroom. My got his feet wet from the carpet, fell and hit his head. The front desk person only offered to give me another room. This was difficult since I had to repack and get us dressed, as it was bed time. I was told they could not give me a refund.”

• Complimentary breakfast, buffet beyond the usual continental breakfast and hot food during evening hospitality period.
• Weak extended stay aspects.

“Only a mini-refrigerator and mini-microwave in rooms. Inadequate to keep a pint of ice cream frozen solid. The room was small. The workstation had the only chair in the room and it faced away from the television. Bathroom very small. On the plus side, it was well maintained and had good breakfast and dinner.”

“There were a lot of pluses here. The appointments were impeccable, it was totally clean and bright. The amenities were excellent, and the staff was very friendly. Only from a hotelier point of view would the negatives be noticeable. So I would say it was an excellent hotel and an excellent property. I would stay there again.”
