I stayed at the Homewood Suites St. John's Town Center for two nights in January 2009. Overall, the hotel has great staff and is fairly new and quite clean. However, I would hesitate to stay there again due to the noise between rooms.
The other reviews of this hotel tell of the positives, with which I concur. The room was incredibly clean, there was a free bag of microwave popcorn ready to be popped, the staff greeted me anytime they saw me in the hallways, and the breakfast was truly amazing (cereal, fresh fruit, coffee, tea, eggs, bacon, sausage, biscuits and gravy, waffle maker, yogurt, breads, pastries---almost reason enough to stay here). There's Neutrogena products in the bathroom, a huge, swiveling flat screen TV, and tons of room.
The main drawback (which for me was a huge one): the walls are paper thin. Anytime anyone entered or exited a room in the hall, had a television on in another room, or simply walked down the hall talking, the noise reached me in my room. Plus, if you're not on the top floor, you can count on hearing every move your upstairs neighbor makes. I don't believe anyone in the surrounding rooms was being extraordinarily loud; the building just seemed to be very poorly constructed.
Lastly, I've got to complain about the cable TV. (Anyone who has read my other hotel reviews will know I've got an axe to grind in this area). I understand that the hotel is geared to business folks, but, believe it or not, some business people want to watch something *other* than sports and news when they're winding down at the end of the day. Why is there no Food Network or HGTV?
Overall, a nice hotel, if you don't plan to spend much time in your room---either sleeping or watching TV.
