I got a call from Homewood Suites yesterday verifying our stay, November 12-18. The said they are opening on November 12th and we will be the very first to stay in our assigned room!! They said this a "firm date for opening" and can not see any reason to not open. They told me they will be fully staffed and on site starting November 9th, but delaying the opening to the 12th to make sure computers are up and running and all the staff are fully trained. Fingers crossed! But I am holding on to my backup hotel until the 11th!!
