Just back from 15 nights at the new Homewood Suites LBV. The hotel is quiet, clean and comfortable. The free breakfast is good. They rotate several dishes such as pancakes, bacon, sausage, ham, grits,french toast, western style eggs and always have scrambled eggs, two cereals, toast, bagels/or english muffins, and fresh fruit. The evening reception was good for a quick bit. They had beef stew and mashed potatoes, pulled pork with brocolli/cheese sauce, chicken and dumplings. I can't remember the rest.
The pool is located between the two hotels and is in the shade. Even before the weather got really cold the pool was very cool. I am not sure it is heated. The building only has 3 washers/dryers for everyone and it could be a long wait. The gym is basic.
The room has a full size fridge, micro, two burner stove top, dishwasher and a few cupboards. The two queen size beds were amazingly comfortable.
DD said the sofa bed was good.
We would happily stay again at the $99. rate we got that covered Christmas and New Years.
The only problem I am having is with Hilton Honours points. I booked two rooms on the same reservation, they were both in my name and I paid for both.(Christmas gift to sister and family) and they are only crediting points for one room because the hotel put the rooms on separate bills. I have complained and will hear back in 10 days. This infuriates me. I paid the total bill and their website says up to two rooms per stay for points. The hotel screwed up and issued two separate folio#s not my mistake. Hopefully I will get the points and miles if not I will take it up the chain of command. Other hotel chains we used on the trip (up to three rooms per stay) have all credited me all the points since I reserved the rooms and paid for them.
