Stayed at Homewood Suites over the weekend to attend the HipHop50 Concert at Yankee Stadium.

The hotel is lovely, from your arrival to your departure, there is no stress. Complimentary valet parking is such a treat! Why park your car yourself and go through the hassel, when they will do that for you. I was just never more appreciative for a service such as that, after the crazy long drive we endured, to give the keys over to someone to park the vehicle. Thank you Valet Service, you guys truly made the start of this vacation a joy and as busy as you were on check out on Sunday, you handled yourself with professionalism and did everything with a smile on your face!

Next stop, front desk. And checking in was a breeze. Like the fastest check in ever. Provided us with all the information that we required for our stay as far as the daily breakfast hours, what time the bar opened and closed and all the necessary information to make your stay as pleasant as possible. They were all lovely at front desk. The room! Oh wow. I had booked the Double bed with sofa bed and full kitchen. The room surpassed all expectations. It was a great size room, from the sitting area to the bed room. There was five adults and it didn't feel crammed. We were on the 9th floor (suite 904) and the view from our room was just beautiful. Highly recommend requesting that room.

The daily breakfast was decent. I knew what to expect, so I wasn't disappointed at what was provided. The eggs that second day were definitely better than the first day. As were the sausages provided, the turkey sausages provided the first day were truly appreciated by my friends and family that do not eat pork, but they just didn't look appetizing. The eggs were runny. Suggestion, maybe a bank of microwaves for people to warm up their breakfast a little more when they get it. Loved the waffle, cereal, bread/muffin, juice and coffee station. The basket of fresh fruit was a nice touch. The staff that maintained the breakfast area, where friendly, helpful and professional. They were constantly ensuring that everything was topped up and replenished, when they would make eye contact if was a good morning or a hello. It was really nice.

It is a pet friendly hotel, and you would not have known as my cousin and I have the worst allergies and they were not flared, so to your cleaning staff, I thank you!

The grounds is beautiful and are well maintained there are areas to sit outside.

Overall stay is always pleasant at this location. Kim atvthe front desk is always great to see. They just need to find a better system to make sure guest return their luggage carts as soon as done. I had to make 5 trips up n down to unload my car. Guest gave tendency to keep carts in their room during stay.
