I just stayed here last weekend while in Frisco for my daughter's gymnastics competition. The hotel is very new and has a staff that is as fresh as the hotel is. And I mean fresh in a good way - they were all energetic and always ready to help. The front desk staff was great when I asked for everything from a toothbrush to an extra blanket. I can't say enough about how helpful they were. While we aren't talking about a five star hotel, that's the kind of service I felt I got. In addition, they have a great breakfast in a very bright, attractive lobby.
While it's wasn't swimming weather, they have a lovely pool with tall fountains flowing into it. You can sit in the lobby and watch people swim in the courtyard pool.
As Sunday was the Superbowl, they put out light snacks (pizza, nachos and drinks) so folks could watch the game in the lobby. Nice touch.
The only complaint I can come up with is that on Sunday afternoon my mother had to call houskeeping to say that the room had not been cleaned (we had been out all morning) and their response was "you must have put out the do not disturb sign." Which we didn't. But they came and took care of the room.
My daughter stayed in the Embasy Suites with her team. While it is also a nice hotel, we both felt that the Homewood Suites was a step above the Embassy Suites.
