Homewood Suites by Hilton Boston - Peabody

*April 2025* hotel is under construction, see pictures. Construction crew did not provide signs/physical barriers to shut-off doorways where they were working. Parking lot barriers were set up for cars, but not for pedestrians using sidewalks/entrances/exits. The hotel advertises as family and pet-friendly, but unsecured equipment and spare nails were left around the building exterior and parking lot. All guest room windows were covered in opaque plastic sheeting. Booked directly through the Hilton website, there was no disclosure that the hotel was under renovation during booking. There were signs at the hotel elevators noting that construction has been going on since November 2024. Travelers may want to check that renovations are complete before booking. I reached out to Hilton and did not receive a response. The interior lacked upkeep: the single high chair at breakfast had a broken backrest so a child would fall out if used; indoor pool wasn't heated; hotel room needed vacuuming and a wipe down; the gym had no fan and air conditioning couldn't be turned on by guests.

Pet rooms should not have carpet it smells from an array of pets and carpet fresh smells worse

I've been staying here on and off for the last 15+ years. Great location. When I showed up this time, I was shocked to find the hotel under renovation with a lot of the windows covered. There's nothing about renovation on the website, and their rates certainly don't reflect renovation. When I questioned the front desk, they said they have no idea when it will be done. I didn't want to stay in a hotel full of construction equipment with a lot of the windows covered in plastic, so I cancelled and stayed at a different property. They should disclose the renovation on their website, rather than hiding it.
