Guests appreciated nearby fast food options, a sushi cafe, pizzerias and the presence of a coffee shop with a decent menu on the ground floor.

Many found the apartments tidy, cozy and equipped with everything needed for a comfortable stay, including clean bed linen and towels.
The apartments are often described as compact but efficiently designed, featuring spacious bathrooms and comfortable beds.

The practical layout and thoughtful furniture arrangement contribute to a pleasant and functional living space. Some rooms are spacious enough to accommodate multiple guests comfortably and the overall cleanliness of the apartments is frequently praised.

Beds
Guest reviews of 'Home Inn' paint a mixed picture of the bedding experience. Some guests found the beds to be comfortable and the linen clean, contributing positively to their stay. However, an overwhelming number of reviews highlighted significant issues. Many guests complained about dirty and worn-out bed linens with some noting holes and stains on the sheets and pillows. Mattresses were often described as uncomfortable with springs poking through, making it difficult to get a good night's rest. Additional concerns included squeaky beds, torn bedding and a lingering musty smell. The furniture appeared tired and outdated, further diminishing the overall comfort. While instant check-in and clean rooms were noted as positives, the pervasive dissatisfaction with the beds indicates a clear need for updating and improved cleanliness.
Cleanliness
Guest reviews of Home Inn are overwhelmingly critical when it comes to cleanliness. Visitors frequently mentioned finding rooms, bathrooms and common areas in a poor state of hygiene. Stained blankets, dirty towels and dusty surfaces appeared to be quite common with several complaints about sticky stoves, greasy dishes and uncleaned carpets laden with hair and dust.
In more severe instances, reviews highlighted the presence of cockroaches, a clogged sink, mold in the kitchen furniture and a foul smell emanating from various areas, including the bathtub tile gap and refrigerator. It was also noted that cleaning seemed superficial at best, often overlooking significant issues such as dirty mats in bathrooms, stained curtains and poorly maintained ventilation systems.
On the positive side, a few guests did note that their rooms were clean and comfortable with fresh bedding and towels. Some appreciated the spacious and clean kitchen area and the occasional clean room was mentioned. However, these positive comments are sparse and overwhelmingly overshadowed by the numerous accounts of subpar cleanliness and maintenance in the hotel.

Additionally, the staff's politeness and the ease of settlement left a positive impression on many visitors.
Instances of the staff providing keys promptly and accommodating early check-in requests further highlight their efforts to ensure a comfortable guest experience. However, some reviews did mention negative experiences, citing unprofessional behavior from certain staff members, including rudeness and a lack of hospitality at reception. Moreover, a few guests were dissatisfied with the approach of some administrators, describing them as unpleasant or even rude. Despite these instances, the overall sentiment suggests that the staff is trying to be accommodating and helpful, contributing to an overall satisfactory stay for many visitors.
