Homewood Suites by Hilton Lynnwood Seattle Everett

Location: Frequently praised for proximity to walking trails, shopping areas, and convenient freeway access.

I’m generally a big fan of Homewood suites and was prepared to continue that with this stay. Unfortunately this one didn’t live up to their usual standards. I was pleased that my room was ready an hour before check-in time. I had a little trouble opening my room door with my digital key but thought I just wasn’t turning the handle quickly enough. After checking in I went down to the pool and was disappointed that my digital key did not work here. The front desk tried to assist but couldn’t fix the issue. Oddly, their solution was to tell me that they’d put in a ticket for maintenance but it wouldn’t be possible to fix it until the next day. I was checking out in the morning so this was a useless fix. The gal from the front desk walked me to the pool and opened the door for me. Once inside I was disappointed that there was no longer a hot tub. I was however able to swim a few laps in the pool. My digital key did work in the fitness center so that was good but I wish there had been sanitizing wipes available for the equipment. There were some type of wipes but they were bone dry-not sure if they were meant to be so or not. I stayed on a Wednesday night and visited the Wednesday evening reception. There was some lettuce, tomato, cucumber, with some salad dressing, croutons, and chips and salsa. There was also some shredded cheese. I believe there was complimentary wine as well but I didn’t partake. For an evening reception, I certainly give the nod to the nearby Embassy Suites. Each time I attempted to return to my room I had more and more trouble opening my room door. I would try between 10 and 20 times before I could finally get my room opened. Just before checking out I gave up, drank my coffee by the elevator and went to go to the front desk for help before deciding to try again. After another 2 minutes of effort I finally got the door open. Speaking with other guests I realized we were all having similar issues. Finally, in my experience all of the Homewoods have chia seed pudding available at breakfast. This location did not which was disappointing. It may seem like a small thing but I’m on a pretty strict diet and when you are planning on something, especially while traveling, it’s difficult. The breakfast tacos were great however and I love that coffee is available 24 hours a day. The beds are comfy, rooms are clean, and location is convenient. I appreciate the e/v chargers. Overall though I will choose the nearby Embassy Suites next time as they offer everything except the e/ v chargers just done better.
