“Almost Perfect-Feels New and Fresh”

Excellent Experience. I’m not sure if the property is new, or is being just recently remodeled, but everything seems fresh clean and smells great. The hallway smells of new carpet. My one bedroom suite was well appointed, everything worked, the kitchen was well equipped. If I do have one piece of slight change feedback, it appears that there are newly deployed refrigerators, which are lovely, work well, and clean. The only problem is, is that they have not adjusted the swing of the door appropriately between the odd and even Number rooms. you have to kind of contort yourself in a pretzel in the corner in order to get the door to swing out, which then blocks the rest of the kitchen. I realize it takes 15 to 20 minutes to swap these, but the one time modification would surely increase guest comfort for years in the future. Tree trimming is in process through September. It’s not just trim, but whole trees being taken down. I left in the morning with one of my windows looking out directly into the branches of a tree, and come home to blue sky. Not sure if they were diseased or something, but will miss the wooded nature of the courtyard. The breakfast cycled out daily, a combination of eggs, potatoes, various shredded meats, and Carnitas for burritos, a cold bar had yogurts, hard boiled, eggs, etc. the first two days, offered a Chia pudding, which I love secondary to It’s vegetarian nature, and packing protein. I was very disappointed when it was not available the next two days. I also did not see any plant-based milk readily available., But again overall, a fresh, well stocked, and plentiful availability of breakfast options. I understand they do an evening reception now on Wednesdays. We used to have these every night in a Homewood pre-Covid, but I’m glad to see that they are at least coming back to some small detail. I was not aware of it, so didn’t enjoy it this week, but will take a look next week during my upcoming stay. While not specifically a reflection on the property itself, it’s kind of convoluted to actually get into the property. The address is on Fresno, but the property itself faces Herndon, but you can’t access the property from the main street. You kind of have to wind through some side streets, through a roundabout, then down another road, to access these two properties. It took me about 10 minutes following my GPS before I finally figured it out. I will say, if you are able to access the CVS parking lot, it’s easy to go out their back lot and reach the property until you get your bearings. Again, overall Very happy with my stay here, and looking forward to being back next week.
