Staff we encountered were very friendly and professional. A pleasure to interact with. Despite having to go down a cement stairway to get inside to the main lobby (only discovered the ramp to the door a yard to the right later that evening) and the floor of the elevator needing immediate attention to fix tripping hazard, our stay was quite pleasant!
Our King room (314) was comfortable, clean, and had many amenities (large mini-fridge, microwave, Keurig coffee maker, alarm clock radio, huge tv.) The bathroom was sparkling with a big mirror and bright lights. The shower head has three settings to choose from, the water pressure is great, and soap, shampoo, and conditioner are all provided. I love the corner chair with its little table and the hassock. We both used it at different times for reading or surfing the web for local restaurants. The King size bed was a little harder than I like (needs a mattress topper to be more body-forming & softer.) But was tolerable for the two nights we stayed. The walls aren’t exactly sound proof (could hear all conversations in the hallway.)
Location of the hotel is right in big shopping area. We were in the area to attend a convention in Monroeville (about 10 miles/ 20-30 minutes away (depending on traffic.) But we couldn’t pass up the great price (compared to Monroeville hotels) plus we got to experience Homestead and what it has to offer.
The free breakfast has many options, but healthier food would be better. I had a banana, a couple bites of an apple (which was bruised all around and past its prime), scrambled eggs and sausage patties. Lots of carb/grain-filled options available for those who aren’t on a restrictive diet. Suggestion: Maybe offer a gluten free choice as well. Possibly have non-dairy yogurt as an alternative. Our second morning we opted to eat breakfast at a restaurant to eat better choices.
Summary: enjoyed our stay and would stay here again because of location, cleanliness, prices, and friendly staff.

Woman at the front desk was super nice and helpful. The hotel definitely can use a bit of renovation. Floor in the only elevator was pretty beat up. Bathrooms had a tub shower that had lots of discolored tiles. Two of my pillows had stains in them. Probably would chose other accommodations if I returned to the area.
