My wife and I stayed at the Homestead for 5 days while we were looking for apartments in Fort Worth for our relocation this Nov 2004. We got a package deal from expedia for a hotel and car. We did not find the rooms appealing at all. We did get a cheap price of less than $40 a day but we really weren't as happy as if we got a cheap hotel. There is no daily linen service; only once during our 4 days were they changed. None of the bathroom necessities of a regular hotel were provided except for the soap. The comforter was dirty on the underside and had cigarette holes burned. The girl at the front desk was willing to make us as happy as possible but she did realize that her attempts were limited.
Overall, if you just want a space to live in and do most of the apartment maintenance yourself then you would be ok. If you are accustomed to good hotels like us then I'm sure you would have a hard time. I have stayed at a Homestead in Miami a few years back and found it better so perhaps it was just this one Suite here in Fort Worth that was below the company's standard.
