Compared to the prior year, I think I got one of the smaller regular rooms. Just like the room I had last year, just scaled down.So really, one year hadn't changed much in terms of the room, so the general details of the room aren't really different - so the stay itself hadn't changed significantly for me to change the rating. I even got to use the pool late at night while it was still warm outside.The one thing I would say is that looking around the regular room there were signs of wear and use. Was it enough to change my rating? No, hotels eventually go through wear and age over time - and the single rooms would certainly see more use than the expanded room I had last year. And it's not like the hotel can just renovate when it wants toSo really, in the end you can still refer to my prior review. If you're really nitpicky about the room you probably could find something to fault. But if you're looking for a clean room at a good price, a place to lay your head, and helpful staff at the front desk, then this place is still a great value.

I was here attending an event in downtown McKinney, which was convenient from the hotel and from the freeway to access other locations (though exiting the freeway to basically a parallel freeway took getting used to, but that's Texas for you).Check-in was easy, though I did need to get a physical key card - I still have been having consistency issues using my phone as a digital key.As an aside, the pool didn't look small like some other hotels that angled their pictures to make them look bigger. It's just that given the hours you can access it, I couldn't take advantage of it in the evening - when beating the Texas heat would have been really refreshing, but yeah, liability issues, etc.Elevators are a little slow, but with so few floors, not that big of an issue.Getting to my room it was certainly interesting. Yes, I did look at the room photos beforehand, but it was still a bit weird to see a curtain used as a divider between areas instead of a wall. Also weird to see same type of curtain instead of cabinet doors, but actually I didn't mind that at all. Anyways, the room was really nice, the bed was comfortable, the shower as one would expect (did give proper hot water), and while I didn't use the kitchen really, looked like you could do quite a few things there if you were prepping your own meals, etc.Speaking of that, you were in a central area where you could go for fast food if you wanted to (Whataburger, Raising Cane's, etc.), or do some grocery shopping if you wanted to make your own meals.Back to the room, the desk area had an oval table that rolled out, which was actually convenient and I used it extensively during my stay.The only significant quibble about the room (though may not be for anyone else, because who watches TV?) is that again the hotel appears to use a non-traditional provider for TV coverage (maybe something like those online cable providers), but there was a channel that I wanted to watch (TVG) that tuned into a different channel instead (TV Games) which theoretically has the same abbreviation, but the guide showed the schedule for TVG. This isn't the hotel's problem per se other than the fact that they decided to use this particular provider which I have seen at other Hilton Hotels every once in a while, but it would be nice to see it fixed.I didn't have time to stay around for breakfast, so I can't comment on that part of the stay. But when I was in the lobby, I was able to talk to the staff who were very friendly and answered any questions I had.While perhaps a more abbreviated review, it probably speaks to the fact that I have travelled extensively at this point, and the things I comment on generally are the same and that at this point it's more if I find something wrong or something exceptional. Otherwise, I figure the hotel I choose when traveling will meet my base expectations (which I figure is pretty high).

Great clean and well kept hotel. Not issues during my stay. Hotel was still quiet even though it was close to the highway. Disadvantage is driving through the strip mall parking lot to get to the hotel. Always left before breakfast so I did not get to see how it was

We have this hotel booked this weekend for a baseball tournament. The baseball tournament location got moved and I thought that they would understand that we booked another Home2Suites that was closer. Let's just say, no, they did not understand and WILL NOT refund the money. Ashley, the General Manager, is rude and does not care about providing costumer service. Avoid booking this hotel if you want to be provided with exceptional customer service.

This establishment has been the best Hilton experience I have ever had. Traveling to Texas for work frequently is always draining. However the amazing staff at Home2Suites was phenomenal. From the friendly amazing smile from Krystyn at the front desk, to the fast and friendly housekeeping that makes sure everything is meticulously clean and comfortable! I will definitely consider this hotel when I come back for personal trips!
