My stay at the hotel was pleasant overall. The rooms, although a bit dated, were clean and satisfactory. The service was excellent, especially the late shift staff member who was very helpful. The location was convenient, albeit lacking nearby shopping and dining options. The dining experience was enjoyable, particularly the made-to-order dishes in the restaurant. The facilities met my needs during the stay.

The Homewood Suites was a nice and comfortable stay, although the room smelled strongly of smoke, making me feel sick. The service was fantastic, with the staff going beyond to make my day special. The location was fantastic, near a 24-hour grocery store and close to the waterfront, but the building is a bit older. The dining experience at Fatima was good, offering a nice menu breakfast.

The hotel rooms were very clean and beds were very comfortable, but unfortunately, the strong smoke smell made me feel sick and despite complaining multiple times, no action was taken. On the upside, the room felt spacious like a small apartment, not cramped like most hotel rooms.
