The Bad

• Geared towards extended-stay customers
• Availability

Homewood Suites offers a lot to like, but there are a few flaws that must be noted. Because Homewood Suites was created with one type of traveler in mind they can't offer much to travelers that do not meet that specific criteria. Most of the weaknesses can be directly attributed to the small scope of customer needs that Homewood Suites chooses to meet.

• Homewood Suites is only intended for extended-stay customers so the quick rejuvenation traveler will not want to spend the extra money for the extra amenities. For example, don't pay for a kitchen if you aren't planning on using it.
• For the international traveler Homewood Suites are located in the US, Canada, and Mexico. If you are traveling anywhere outside of North America Homewood Suites won't meet your needs.
• With 350 locations there aren't going to be Homewood Suites everywhere you go.

A few weaknesses make Homewood Suites the imperfect fit for a lot of situations, but it may be the perfect fit for your next trip.
