homewood suites is the only extended stay type hotel in longview and that is why i stay there every time i'm in longview on business. it is getting a little threadbare however. i have checked out other hotels and haven't found anything nicer. this is not to say that homewood suites is so wonderful, but the bar is set a little low in longview. they do put out a decent breakfast and evening meal (monday - thursday). this is convenient for business travellers. i really don't understand why this hotel would get families since they are far from the highway, but they seem to have a few every time i'm there. the exercise room only has treadmills and some type of elliptical machine, but while they don't mention it, if you ask, you will be given a pass to a local health club, which is a good facility. there is an outside (unheated) pool, but it isn't all that tempting. the staff is friendly and tries to be helpful, but not always successfully --- for instance, they just changed wifi servers, and while the front desk agent was nice about the fact that many guests were not able to log on, she did not have any solution to the problem. fortunately, they do have a small business center with a couple computers and a printer (no charge for print outs-- nice touch).
