I expoect better from Hilton and as a Honors member I am rarely let down. This hotel motivated me to write my first review. This property has been remodled from a previous brand and the rooms are on par with a motel six or super 8.

My room has a skanky smell that reminds me that I am glad my stay is a short one night.

I want to thank the staff at the Homewood Suites for making my grandparents' stay so pleasant. Wesley, front desk clerk, and manager Chris were very kind and helpful. It was nice for my family to have a clean, reliable hotel to stay at. The suite was large and clean, the complimentary breakfast and dinner were good, and the staff was friendly. My family will stay here again for their next visit. Thanks, Homewood Suites!

We stayed in a 2 bedroom suite. My husband and I in one bedroom, the in-laws in the next room & our 4 & 9 year olds on the fold-out sofa. Surprisingly, it wasn't as bad as it sounds. We only stayed two nights, but for amquick weekend trip, it was great. Quiet neighborhood, decent bed. Some furnishings a little dated compared to other homewood suites we've stayed at, but good value overall. Pool area is kind of small, but after the kids got in the water, they didn't complain.

I wanted a suite-kind-of-hotel and Hillon offered a good rate in this area. So, I chose the Homewood Suites Overland Park. It was just all right. As one reviewer noted, it is situated in a safe and quiet area. It is just off of Metcalf Avenue which is a main thoroughfare through Overland Park. It's a convenient location because you can find eveything you need in a more than reasonable radius, including easy access to the 435 and the Overland Park Convention Center. Parking was free. I booked a one-bedroom suite at a rate of $99. The room included a full-kitchen (stove with two burners). However, breakfast and an evening reception are included in the price (and really "nothing to write home about.") Breakfast attendant was apologetic when I handed her my juice glass, which had a small chip on the lip. As others have noted, the suites are slightly outdated. However, for $99, this was not an issue to me. The free Internet functioned fine, as did the television. Big bathroom, with plenty of counter space. Good bath towels, shower pressure, and water temperature. One bedside lamp did not work, however. So, I exhanged it with the one on the dresser. Though the stay was OK, it was marred by the fire alarm going off THREE times on my last night there between 11pm and midnight. Good thing I was still awake, coherent, and that I carry earplugs. Several us were in the hallway outside of our rooms when the desk clerk came rushing by explaining that she had to go up to the roof to see if there really was a fire up there. We learned later from her (when we decided to get dressed and move outside the building after the third alarm) that their system had malfunctioned and they were calling someone in from outside to ensure that the alarm would not go off again. (So, did that mean that if there had been a fire later, the system would not detect it?) I'd been in a similar situation at another hotel years ago and that property made an announcement through their emergency system that it their alarm was false and we did not have to evacuate. It is unfortunate that this notification system doesn't exist in all hotels. I was also surprised that there wasn't a note of apology/explanation distributed to the guests the morning after and that no one said anything as I checked out. Based on this event, I will stay at a different Hilton property the next time I have business in Overland Park.
