Homestead Boca Raton-Commerce - Boca Raton, USA 

This hotel was a big disappointment. I was traveling for business in the area and needed a hotel for an extended stay. I could barely make it through the first night! And would never stay there again. It appears the hotel appeals to construction workers and truckers. When I drove into the main entrance, sitting out front was this huge sewage pumping truck and many more large construction pickups! If the hotel was smart they would not allow such a aweful eye sore. Further, it sits next to the heavy rail road tracks - a nice wake-up call at 3:00am, as the room shakes!!! The buildings and surrounding property looks very nice and well maintained from the outside. The buildings I was told where 10 years old and where recently updated inside. However the inside updating was poorly done and already shows signs of wear and dirt. My room was not very clean and smelled even worse - a complination of harsh mildew and smoke! The carpet was stained and in areas not vacuumed - under the bed was trash! The bathroom and kitchen floors looked dirty and had tar chunks. There where spots and finger prints on the mirrors, tv screen and walls. I could go on and on. Overall, this Extended Stay Hotel company should be ashamed, and at $80.00 per night it wasn't cheap!

I was transiting through South Florida enroute to a Caribbean cruise and needed a one night stay (as I always leave a 24 hour buffer between my flight and cruise). I am most familliar with the Boca/Delray area and enjoy the shooping and dining in that area. I am also familiar with just about every hotel in terms of location, facilities, amenities and price (what it ought to be not what they are charging). I have been staying in that area fo rthe last 15 years on stays ranging from 2 weeks to one night and I have seen prices rise dramatically over the last 3 years. I was elated to see this property available for $63 as I was not prepared to shell out $200 for similar accomodations. The reviews that I had read prior to travelling allowed me to expect the worst but be prarred to be impressed in th event the hotel had gotten it's act together. The front desk employee was inept to say the least and trying to check in was quite a challenge. the rooms were decent but not particulary comfortable, up to date or clean. The stay was not one of my more memorable ones but the price was right. I would hate to have actually had to stay there as an extended stay guest, even though it is an extended stay hotel. By the way, there is no daily maid service so one day was long enough of a stay.
