Spacious and comfortable living quarters combining the amenities of a full-service hotel with the comforts of home-all at the price of a quality, traditional 1-room hotel. HOMEWOOD SUITES is one of the top brands in the upscale extended stay market, which is fast becoming the industry's fastest-growing segment. In a category where demand runs 6 times higher than supply, HOMEWOOD is solidly positioned for future growth. We have an improved prototype to help you build or convert to a HOMEWOOD SUITES.
