I travel to Ohio several times a year, and Plainfield is usually my stay-over night. I've stayed at the Comfort Inn there, but no more. (You can find my review under the Comfort Inn.) I left the CI on the night of January 5th and ended up at Hometown Suites and was pleasantly surprised. The gentleman at the front desk was especially affable, and very helpful and accommodating. That makes a huge difference in my book. The room was lovely, very clean, and most comfortable. When I travel, I just want a good, clean, comfortable room, and Hometown Suites provides this and more.

Extra touch: I loved the ceiling fan over the bed, since I'm one of those people who like the cool air circulating while I'm under a warm down comforter!

I'll be staying at Hometown the next time I drive to Ohio! :-)

We stayed at this Homewoods Suites on the 4th of July while visiting family in Plainfield. We tend to look for Homewood when we travel due to the reasonable price and what you get for your money. But this location was sub-par in our opinion.

There was no one at the front desk when we arrived, we had to dial a phone to get someone. When he got there he apologized, saying that he was folding towels. He reeked of cigarette smoke, so if what he said was true, then I would hate to think what the towels smelled like.

We like the size of the suites, that is one of the reasons we looked for these to stay at, with that said, there were problems with the room. We had two light bulbs burned out, the heat was on instead of the air conditioning, part of the curtain rod in the bedroom was pulled out of the wall, and the tray of amenities in the kitchen (coffee, popcorn, etc) was only partially filled. Maybe it was the poor lighting and drab colors, but there was a feeling of it being less clean than usual.

It is very convenient to the new Indianapolis airport but our room was on the top floor and I feel like we had planes landing in our room all night. So be sure to request a lower floor.

Breakfast was lacking in comparison to other Homewood Suites as well and no one seemed to be tending it to see of refills were needed.

At checkout we ran into the same thing we did at arrival - no one was at the desk. There was the message to use the phone to get some for assistance. Another guest was just hanging up when I got to the desk and walked away saying, "Good luck getting someone around here to help you." I dialed twice and no one ever arrived. So I gave up and left also.

This hotel needs an update. Until that happens we will stay elsewhere when in Plainfield.

My family and I traveled to Indy for a show. I decided to stay on the outskirts of town to stay away from downtown. I really liked the area of Plainfield. It is a very nice suburb west of Indy. Property is only about 2 miles from Metroplex--a huge outdoor shopping area with many restaurants close by. Metroplex is very similar to Destin Commons in FL for those who have been to that area. Wife loved the shopping options.

Since I had never stayed at a Homewood Suites before, I have nothing to compare this one to. Rooms were a nice size--living room area with a kitchennette (frig, stove, microwave and table for two) and then bedroom and bath area in other room. Sofa in living room had a pull out bed--plenty of room for our son to relax, watch tv and sleep.

This hotel is not a brand new property--but it does seem to have some updates. The shower was a nice size. Loved the fact that shower head was at like 7 feet + since I am a tall guy. Bathroom was clean. But not the amenities of a nicer property--Marriott, Hilton, etc.. Bed was comfortable.

Let me mention some of the definite positives: hotel had an indoor pool with hot tub. My son and I had a great time swimming. Pool area had plenty of seats and lounge chairs, too. There were probably 6 or 8 people also in the area and no problems of having room to get around. Size of the rooms was a little bigger than I expected. Each room had its own AC unit. Temperatures were controlled by a wall thermostat. Master Bedroom had a ceiling fan--I totally loved this since we always sleep with a fan going at home. Had a door between rooms that you could close for privacy. I have been in some suites that don't have doors. Also, free wireless internet!

Some of the things that were just okay or need improvement: furnishings are getting a little dated. This is not to say the place wasn't clean. Our room was very clean--no issues there. Bedding is typical--nothing special. No light over mirror at vanity. This makes it a little dark getting ready. I could see where ladies would not like the light in terms of getting ready. Just had an overhead light in room and 2 sconces on sides. Seems like a weird design to me--why not lights over mirror??

Televisions were basic, picture tube tvs--not flat panels. The tv channel selection was very mediocre. Probably only had about 15-20 channels. Definitely not an expanded cable package.

But all and all, this was a very nice stay. We did not get up and eat breakfast at the hotel. They did serve until 10:00 am. We had food and ate in our room. Very safe and secure area. I would never sense any security concerns here.

Also will mention this last point. I met a family that was staying directly across the hall from us and their kids were in the room next to us. Never once did I hear any noise through the walls. Because we were talking about playing video games like Guitar Hero and Rock Star in the hall, I know the kids had them hooked up in the room. Thus, I would say the walls were either really thick or insulated very well. This was a nice change compared to some places where you can hear everything through the walls.

I would recommend this property if you are in the area.

My husband and I recently stayed at the Homewood Suites by Hilton in Plainfield...we were impressed! Clean, nice and spacious rooms and very accomodating staff! Additionally, there were nights where work was late but no problem as the hotel offered dinner/happy hour until 7:30 pm and the food was far better then some restaurants we ate in while in IN. I highly recommend this hotel and will be choosing it again if traveling to Plainfield/Indy area.
