“Hom Hotel offers clean, comfortable beds and friendly service, but some rooms seem to struggle with lingering odors and maintenance issues. While the inclusion of breakfast and good parking add value, the experience could be improved with more attention to detail in room upkeep and addressing concerns about cleanliness. For me, the sterile interior design leans a bit too much toward the clinical, impacting the overall ambiance.”
