My only issue is that a sink was outside the bathroom which was a problem for me. With that said I would stay there again.
Overall I really enjoyed my stays. As with so many hotels, there are occasional noise issues, but that's really more about the obnoxious guests than the hotel itself. I'm not sure I will spring for the premium level next time (and there will be a next time), because I'm trying to cut back on sweets and snacks!
I tried the indoor pool once, but I was underwhelmed. The exercise room is typical for a hotel, and I used it a couple of times. The staff is friendly and helpful, but I did have a difficult time trying to figure out when housekeeping would be servicing the room. I was working during the day in the room, and a well defined time period for me to vacate the room would have been helpful. I ended up guessing a lot (and usually wrong), which led to some frustration on my part.
The breakfast here is quite good, and the evening social is perfect for people like me who don't want to go out an have a big dinner in the evening. Some light food and a glass of beer or wine hits the spot, and lets me relax just a little more.
I'm definitely going to give strong consideration to this hotel whenever I'm back in the Farmington area.
Room #1: Asked for a quiet room and I got to be next to the barking dog room, crying baby, maids vacuuming at 7pm, doors slamming and overlooking the parking lot (with alarms and barking). The bathroom sink did not drain well. Holy Bible in nightstand drawer not necessary. Cat scratched sofa, bathroom tile grout black with dirty mop water residue. Kiss marks and handprints on the living room wall picture glass. Every ceiling of every level of hotel has evidence of water leaks. Overall, the room is nice, but all the noise ruined my stay. When I complained about the noise front desk 'left a voicemail on their cell, but they are probably at work, you can move rooms if you want to", is what I was told.
Room#2: Moved to a downstairs room and it was quieter, you can hear the people above walking around (lots of stomping and banging starting at 630AM until 930PM) , running the faucet and occasional banging. Here again, the bathroom sink does not drain well and AC makes a loud enough to wake me up, a buzzing sound when it cranks back on.
My room had a dead fly and cobwebs in the window sill area. Hotel has mildew on some portions of the exterior that looks like it's been there awhile and the landscaping looks neglected.
With a full hotel (and greatly reduced maid service), there could have been a person manning the hot breakfast station giving away hot plates of eggs/potatoes/etc every morning like at numerous other hotels I have stayed at this year. Also, when maids clean the rooms and they are in and out of the room dozens of times in an hour since the cart is left in the hallway, they let the door slam every single time. It's annoying to listen to it almost on a daily basis right outside my door. When I checked out there were zero available luggage carts and none could be located in the 30 minutes I waited, so had to load everything by hand, a first for me in any hotel.
Not the hotel's fault, but I had to listen to a couple's fight one day, and almost every day I see guests in the lobby with no masks.
We arrived on the night of 10/27/21, and we're booked into room 244 automatically. When we arrived, we noticed the lobby and hallway floors were unvaccumed and filthy. Litter lined the floors in the hallways, including shreds of plastic bags and other items.
Our room was disgusting. Not only was the furniture and carpeting soiled and unvaccumed, but there were stains on the furniture, the duvet covers, etc., and there were actially drops of urine on the toilet seat. Yes. Urine. We complained at the front desk. Fortunately, the night manager handled the situation well, and offered us two other rooms in place of our original, filthy suite. These were cleanER. Not clean. Merely "Cleaner". But we were exhausted and had a big job the next day, and there was no urine on the toilet seat, so we accepted the different rooms.
Within a short time, however, it became clear that the replacement rooms, 323 and 326, were nearly as grimy as 244. There was water damage in the ceiling, mold on the bathroom ceiling, the popcorn ceiling outside the air ducts was stained from unclean air blowing out of the vents. The carpets were still not vaccumed, the chairs had multiple mystery stains on them. When we pulled out a blacklight, we found suspicious droplets on the TV stand in front of the TV (I don't want to know how that happened), and we didn't even try to guess what was sprayed on the walls around out toilet under our blacklight.
We will be complaining bitterly to Hilton Corporate about the condition of this second Homewood Suites. However we thought that users have the right to know what to expect from this filthy place that's in terrible need of cleaning, maintenance, and renewal.
I would give guests sponges to wash dishes with, and maybe put a mirror somewhere in the living room area. My puppy was sleeping and I felt bad to wake her up to apply my makeup for work in the bathroom area (connected to the bedroom)
