I have never stayed at a Home2 before so I was pleasantly surprised by all the amenities. To be honest, I've been doing the Airbnb thing and have opted to avoid hotels. Well, I believe they're attempting to take some business from the VRBO/Airbnb market. For me, the bonus of an amazing breakfast with actual proteins (omelets, breakfast sandwiches) and a kitchen with items to cook food (pots, pans) and eat (utensils, plates, cups), has me telling my friends we'll be looking for these Home2 stays whenever we travel. The room darkening shades, room dividing curtain, two burner stove top, dishwasher, pool, workout room, and outdoor breakfast seating were all reasons I'd be back there in a heartbeat! My only ;-( was a bit of a wet dog smell in my room. I know they allow pets so that may have been the reason although I saw no evidence of pets previously in my room.
