Homewood Suites by Hilton McAllen

Old but clean

I will start by saying I just stayed at the Homewood Suites in McAllen. A lot of the reviews don't seem like a recent stay. I used the digital key and it worked well. I read a lot of reviews about the room or hotel not clean. I felt that our room and the hotel was very clean. I did notice some of the furniture was not fully functioning (dresser drawer could not be opened). I think the maintenance team should be checking every room before guests staying in them. We stayed in room 226. It is in the far back of the property, but had very little traffic going by it. The laundry room was 2 doors away and is open 24 hours a day, but that room has a door on it and was very quiet. There was an elevator nearby, but far enough away that we did not hear it. Yes, there is military and border patrol that do stay here because the border is about 7 miles away. They are very nice and keep everyone safe. The hotel is in a good/safe area with many places to eat nearby. You can walk to Cracker Barrel, Dominos pizza, etc. The 2 room suite had a full size refrigerator, couple burner stove, microwave, coffee maker, toaster. It did include a buffet style breakfast, They do switch out the warm items, so it is not the same everyday. They also have an evening social/dinner Monday-Thursday 5-7pm. They had beer, white/red wine and when we were there they had salad, pasta with meatballs and garlic bread. The people running the breakfast and social are wonderful people. We were so impressed by Gloria. She ran the breakfast and was also there for the social/dinner. Gloria puts her hard work and dedication in her job. She goes above and beyond to make her special drink with"love". Gloria is truly an asset to the hotel. Checkout time for this hotel is 12pm (not 11am like most hotels).

I’d definitely stay at the property again. Loved it.

Majelle was great. Sorted out a mistake in booking and got me settled in. Super welcoming. Rooms are clean and nice. Tons of amenities pool grills for use. Hotel has free breakfast and dinner during weekdays. Very welcoming experience excellent for long term stay.

Great price and location. Very spacious and comfortable rooms.
