I have stayed at both and they are both great. I would really recommend them. It just depends which area of I-Drive you would rather be in. We like the one near Universal because you can walk to the parks if you want to.
We love Homewood Suites. We have stayed at both but go back to the one in Unuversal now as we think the rooms are nicer and there isn't any noisy air conditioning noise coming from other units (was a problem att he one on ID) Also the pool is sunnier as we found that we were in the shade most of the time at the other one. I wold say the food and staff were excellent at both. However, it really depends on what part of ID you want to be in.
Excellent property. We have stayed at different ones here in Syracuse , PA and Fl. Clean and cheerful and comp. breakfast & evening cocktails - beer and wine and soda for the children, nice touch. Enjoy!
