I'm giving The Homestead five stars although this review may leave you wondering. As it stands today the room air conditioning seems spotty across the hotel. Our room was in the 60s and changes to the AC thermostat yielded no change whatsoever. Several others said their rooms were too warm and the AC was ineffective. Carpeting in the hallways is worn and soiled after years of use and neglect. At the same time we found the staff (everywhere in the complex) to be warm and helpful. Professional people. Omni owns the resort now and we heard a nearby restaurant owner say that Omni is slated to invest $60-80 millions in repairs. Omni should publicize the amount and offer schedules and explanations for the work to be done. Let's hope there is truth to this and that plans are being developed for a makeover of this landmark location.
