Hotels like a homewood suites are meant for a comfortable stay and not a luxury stay. But when you have workers like Kiki at the front desk. It’s luxury all the way. She was the most polite and nicest front desk worker I have ever encountered in the states. I usually get that kind of service at an all inclusive resort in Mexico but she was an exceptional and I return again because of her.

Having a roadtrip car emergency traveling with a child and dog i was in a panic.. needed a room and a dealership in the morning.
Sandra behind the desk couldn't have been more emphatic and helpful... got us and my dog right into a room and even gave me a doggy bone bag for my dog..
Thank you so much Homewood and especially Sandra who was amazing .. would definitely recommend!!!

Nita was very rude when I called to verify how much the security deposit was. For the record, on booking.com it says $100 but Nita said it’s $250, which is very over priced even if you get it back. The other staff, especially dawn was very nice and friendly! The rooms need a major update! Poor patch work, rust, a bug was found in my room and so was cobweb in the ceiling corner.

What a wonderful addition to the Hilton brand of hotels. I absolutely loved this place. During my 24 hr stay - I enjoyed a lavish cocktail hour, cooked my side dishes for the next day's Thanksgiving feast, swam a few laps in the pool, worked out in the gym, did laundry in the laundry room, took 2 steaming hot baths, and indulged in a delicious complimentary breakfast. Homewood Suites is awesome. I would stay here again and again‼️✌🏾😘

Every staff person I’ve met has been friendly and service minded. Asking for more hot water for tea at night done with pleasure by Dawn. Maintenance man was extremely nice and helpful and friendly. If my son attends University of Delaware this will the hotel we stay. Breakfast crew also friendly and helpful. I’m blown away at the level of service and how all employees appear to like their jobs and customers. What a refreshing 2 night stay! You all deserve a round of applause.
