We’ve stayed in a lot of Homewood Suites properties with our family of six over the years, but Staybridge Suites was new to us. Though we usually make a two-bed + sofa bed suite work for our group, with older (larger) teenagers and staying over Thanksgiving, I wanted a two-bedroom suite with kitchen. This property had the room we wanted at a fair price. Booking was easy through the IHG app, and I appreciated the birds-eye floor plan of the room on the site. The room was essentially set up the same as the two-bedroom Homewood suites. Our room was on the fourth floor and was absolutely quiet. It’s far enough from the interstate that road noise isn’t a problem, and the street that it’s on is not busy, so there were no sirens, etc. There’s a bowling alley next door and a mall across the street, plus some other restaurants within a 10-15 minute walking distance. Everything in our room was clean and in good condition. The beds and pillows were comfortable. The kitchen had a two-burner stove and a pot and a pan that were just a little too big for the burner setup. Still, I was able to cobble together Thanksgiving Day meals with one pot, one pan, one cooking spoon, and one spatula — with all the groceries coming from the Buc-ees store just a few miles away. It wasn’t gourmet, but it worked out ok. The free breakfast was good with several choices— hot food, cereal, yogurt, fruit, etc. They could use a few more tables in the breakfast area; we ended up eating on sofas the last day due to the tables all being full. Our only complaint would be that we were asked upon checking whether we wanted light or full housekeeping during our three-night stay. We chose light — empty trash, change out towels — and knew there would likely be no service on Thanksgiving Day. On Friday, however, we returned from a day out and nothing had been done. With the cooking from the day before, it would have been nice for the trash to be emptied. This was a minor thing for us, however, and did not put a blemish on our stay overall. We would definitely stay here again if in the north Dallas area. A solid five stars for what we needed in this stay.
