Earlier this month while visiting Land of Oz, my mom and I spent the night at the Home2 Suites by Hilton Boone. So, I thought I would review it.
Home2 Suites by Hilton Boone
This is a newer hotel located centrally in Boone, North Carolina and is walking distance to Appalachian State University. It comes with free parking and free breakfast! Plus, it had affordable rates thanks to the Hilton Honors rate.
2 Queen Beds Studio Suite
Given that this is a Home2 Suites hotel, every room here is a suite with a kitchenette! This would be perfect for a longer trip as it comes with a refrigerator, microwave and even a dishwasher! It was more than adequate for our one night. In fact, the room was so nice and large that my mom kept mentioning that we should return to stay for a longer trip. She was really impressed with the room having a dishwasher!
The bathroom was more than adequate with a nice shower. Although, the shower doors never seem to close well. In fact, one opened up pretty good while I was in the shower. I also wasn’t particularly impressed with the water pressure. Then again, that’s almost expected with hotel showers these days.
The bed was pretty comfortable. We both slept well. However, it did feel like the top sheet was made of polyester. I prefer cotton due to some polyester fabrics irritating my skin and not being breathable. Thankfully, we still slept well here. No complaints on that. Plus, it was pretty quiet.
I was also happy about the number of plugins found in the room. There were plugins on each side of the beds. So, there was no fighting over plugins here.
Free Breakfast
We decided to take a look at the included free breakfast and were impressed. First, we made waffles. We added some chocolate chips on top and it was tasty! What was most unique was the breakfast sandwich station. They had several different breads and proteins to make your own breakfast sandwich. I made an egg bite and chicken sausage croissant sandwich. Was it the best I’ve ever had? No, but it was good. It was better than lots of other free hotel breakfasts. I like that we didn’t have to hunt down breakfast and it allowed us to hit the road with full bellies.
Also, of note is the free water/tea/coffee that’s available all day in the lobby. I used the water dispenser to get some hot water to make some hot chocolate and then topped it off with some cold water. That made it a lukewarm chocolate that was great for the warmer weather.
Pros
- Every room is a suite – There’s plenty of room to spread out here!
- Includes a kitchenette – It’s great for storing and heating up leftovers! Plus, the dishwasher keeps things tidy and from smelling.
- Comfy bed – No complaints about sore backs here!
- Free breakfast – This is a pretty good breakfast with the breakfast sandwich station. Plus, the people working here were friendly and kept it well-stocked.
- Good rates – We paid $157 with taxes using a nonrefundable Hilton Honors rate. We thought that was an excellent value for the room and breakfast!
Cons
- Not the best sheets – Again, this is me being nitpicky. I think the top sheet was polyester. While I didn’t have any trouble with it, I prefer cotton.
- Shower doors don’t close securely – The doors on the shower will pop open easily. It’s definitely not a deal breaker, just something to be aware of.

I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend the Home2 Suites by Hilton Boone. It was a comfy place to spend the night with a good breakfast. The rates were affordable and it was centrally located.
