| - Yelper Jane B's review is remarkably similar to what I intended to include in my review.
We've stayed at close to a dozen different Homewood Suites over the years and this one left us wishing we could have stayed at any of the others instead.
Furnishings were adequate but not terribly comfortable. The living room had a sleeper sofa and a side chair, a dining table with two chairs, an end table, a coffee table, and a TV stand with 3 drawers plus the kitchenette, all in a room roughly 9' x 14'.
The bedroom contained a desk with 3 drawers (serving also as the dresser) and the bed and nightstands. The desk also served as the TV stand, allowing a small work area and taking up so much room the door couldn't swing all the way open.
Our bedroom also contained the mystery deadbolted closet with unknown contents, which took up half the guest closet space.
The bathroom was large but dingy and dimly lit.
I considered renting an on-demand movie one evening, but everything offered by the hotel was $15+/each (!!) and since there wasn't a DVD player we didn't have the opportunity to rent somewhere more reasonable and bring it back to our room. Free wifi seemed stable although a bit slow, and the pool was small but the kids didn't seem to mind.
The staff were very friendly and helpful, and the breakfast was well-prepared and always had enough variety to keep the kids and adults happy.
We got a great rate but hey, it's Scottsdale in the summer so most rates are pretty darn good. Normally we enjoy staying away from home, but after 6 nights here even the kids were anxious to get home.
We'll stay at Homewood Suites again in the future, but not this one.
