Blythewood Getaway Review: Home2 Suites – Accessible Luxury & Beyond! (Blythewood Hotels, Home2 Suites, South Carolina, Accessible Hotel, Pet-Friendly, Free Wi-Fi, Luxury Stay, Spa, Fitness Center, Pool)
Alright, let's get one thing straight: finding the perfect hotel is like finding the perfect parking spot on a Saturday afternoon. It's rare. But did this place come close to nirvana? Let's me, Myself and I find out.
First Impressions & Accessibility: The Good, the Meh, and the "Whoa, That's Thoughtful"!
From the get-go, I was on high alert for accessibility. You know, because it's 2024. I’m happy to report, Home2 Suites Blythewood seems to get it! We're talking Wheelchair accessible entrances, which is a HUGE win. Elevator, obviously. They even have some facilities for disabled guests - which is great - just don't assume it covers everything for everyone. I didn't investigate every specific detail (sorry, I was too busy looking at cute dogs, more on that later), but the overall impression was one of genuine effort. Now, the exterior corridor gave me a bit of a… motel vibe. Not glamorous. But hey, maybe I’m just a snob. And remember, getting around in the hotel using Elevator is very important.
Internet Access – Because We're Savage Animals, and Wi-Fi is Oxygen
So, the vital question; what about the Internet access? Free Wi-Fi in all rooms! Praise be! And the Wi-Fi in public areas also. I didn't mess with using the Internet [LAN] because, who even has a LAN cable anymore? Shrugs. But the Internet services were pretty consistent – streaming my bad reality TV habits was a breeze.
Cleanliness and Safety – Is This Place a Hazmat Zone?
Okay, so safety. Important. This is where Home2 Suites REALLY shines. They're serious about Cleanliness and safety. I saw Anti-viral cleaning products at work. I also noted the Daily disinfection in common areas. The Hand sanitizer was everywhere, which is a plus. There's even Staff trained in safety protocol. They're taking this seriously.
Dining and Snacking: The Buffet Battle and Beyond!
Alright, let’s talk grub. The Breakfast [buffet]… it was… okay. Don’t expect Michelin star quality. We're talking scrambled eggs that may or may not be actual eggs, and some questionable-looking cereal… But hey, it's free. And let's be real, I'm more of a bagel-and-coffee kinda gal, so I ended up sticking with my routine of getting coffee from my room (thank God for the Coffee/tea maker in the room! And Free bottled water!).
They have a Restaurant, but I didn't actually eat there, which is a failing on my part. I did see a Snack bar, which is always a win for those late-night munchies.
Things to Do, Ways to Relax – Poolside Dreams and the Gym of Doom
Alright, let's get real here. This is where Blythewood has a right to scream "LUXURY". The Swimming pool [outdoor] was beautiful. Let me just gush about the pool for a hot sec: I spent an entire afternoon floating, sipping… well, diet coke (I'm on a diet, don't judge), and pretending I was a mermaid. The Pool with a view was the kind of view that actually made you forget about your to-do list and your ex. Just… pure bliss.
Oh, and the Fitness center. I walked into the gym, took one look at the treadmill, and walked right back out. Okay, I’m lying. I looked at it, whimpered, and then pretended to be busy, instead. They also have a Gym/fitness.
The Spa Whispers (or, Why I Forgot To Sign Up)
Deep breath. This is where Home2 Suites fell just a smidge short for me. They have a Spa! They also offer Massage. They have a Sauna. I was so busy being a mermaid, I completely forgot to book anything. BIG mistake. HUGE. Next time, I'm booking a Body scrub and a Body wrap immediately.
The Room: My Sanctuary (Probably With a Few Mystery Stains)
Okay, the room itself? Pretty darn good. They weren't kidding about Home2 Suites Luxury Awaits! The Air conditioning was a lifesaver. The Bed was comfy. The Blackout curtains were a definite win. The Separate shower/bathtub was fantastic – I love a good soak. I loved the Slippers. And the Bathrobes. My inner diva was very, very pleased.
The Additional toilet made it that much luxury!
But… I didn't find it completely perfect. The Closet was a tad snug. And, honestly, I could have used more outlets near the bed. Small things, but there. And I'm willing to guess they had a few non-smoking rooms. I hope.
Services and Conveniences: The Little Things That Matter
Okay, the little things. Daily housekeeping: amazing. Laundry service: necessary, especially if you're me and travel with half your wardrobe. Concierge: a little bit hands-off, but helpful. A Convenience store, the Gift/souvenir shop, and a Coffee shop? Yes, please.
For the Kids & Pets (Because Let’s Get Real)
Oh, and the kids? Family/child friendly is a yes. They have Babysitting service. (Not sure I’d trust me with babysitting, but hey!).
(Now the part I’m most excited about…)
The Pet Factor (My Biggest Win!)
Okay, real talk. I'm a sucker for dogs. Home2 Suites is Pets allowed! I literally saw so many adorable, well-behaved pups. It made me want to adopt them all. This is the biggest selling point for me. If you're a dog lover like me, this place is paradise.
The Quirks & Quirks (The Stuff They Don't Put in the Brochure)
The Elevator Music: The music in the elevator was weird. I think it was some elevator version of smooth jazz. I would have preferred silence, but it’s all forgiven.
The "Proposal Spot": I'm not sure where the proposal spot is (probably by the pool, based on my mermaid fantasies). But hey, bonus points for the romantics!
The View: Okay, I was in a room on a HIGH FLOOR. The view was spectacular. (and the Reading light at night… chef's kiss)
The Verdict: Should You Book?
Look, Home2 Suites isn't flawless. But overall? Absolutely, YES. Especially, if you need an Accessible Hotel, want something that works for you family or even the pet! The location is good, the rooms are comfy, and the staff seems genuinely nice. And the pool. OMG, the pool. It's a solid choice.
Now, for the pitch (or the "Get Me There" Call to Action!)

Okay, buckle up buttercups, because this ain't your grandma's travel itinerary. This is me, attempting to wrangle a trip to the Home2 Suites in Blythewood, South Carolina, into something resembling a plan. Prepare for some chaos.
Home2 Suites Blythewood, SC: A Disaster Waiting to Happen (Or Maybe Not?) – A Stream of Consciousness Odyssey
Background Noise: (Currently, the dull hum of my existential dread - did I pack enough snacks?)
Day 1: Arrival - The "Calm Before the Storm (of Laundry)"
Time: 3:00 PM - Supposedly Arrival at Home2 Suites Blythewood
- Okay, so the drive. Let's be real, it involved a frantic hunt for the aux cord (because silence is never golden, it's just… unsettling). And naturally, I took a wrong turn. Twice. But hey, I finally made it! Checked in… or attempted to. I swear, that front desk guy looked like he'd seen some things. And by "some things," I mean a never-ending parade of sleep-deprived travelers. He was efficient though, I'll give him that. Got my key card, which I immediately dropped. Classic me.
Time: 3:30 PM – Room Reconnaissance & the Great Fridge Dilemma.
- Okay, room. It’s… clean. Surprisingly clean. The fact that I didn't find a rogue sock is a win in my book. But the fridge! The size of a child's coffin! Where am I supposed to keep all my precious perishables? Panic sets in. I'm already envisioning my carefully curated yogurt parfait transforming into a lukewarm puddle. Gotta figure this out.
Time: 4:00 PM – Unpacking & the Eternal Struggle with the Closet Rod.
- Unpack. A necessary evil. And let me tell you, the closet rod is a nightmare. I'm pretty sure it was designed by someone who hates humanity. Why are they always so high up? I'm short, people! I need a step stool! (Mental note: invest in portable step stool. For all my travel needs.)
Time: 6:00 PM – Dinner - Maybe a Culinary Adventure (or at least, sustenance)
- Food! The most important part. I googled “restaurants near Home2 Suites Blythewood” and the options are… well, they're there. I'm leaning towards the one with the worst Yelp reviews. Just for the story. Or maybe, just maybe, I'll embrace the siren song of the hotel's complimentary breakfast offerings. We'll see. The tension is palpable.
Time: 8:00 PM - The Truth About That "Free" Wifi
- Wifi! The bane of my travel existence. Will it work? Will it be fast? Will I spend the next hour staring at a loading symbol? Place your bets.
Time: 9:00 PM – Staring at the TV, Contemplating My Life Choices.
- The TV. The classic hotel pastime. Channel surfing. Finding nothing. Feeling vaguely disappointed in the general state of entertainment. Maybe I'll order pizza. This is actually genius I could order pizza right to my room…
Time: 10:00 PM – Sweet, Sweet Sleep (or at least, attempting to)
- Hope the pillows don't smell like desperation. Fingers crossed.
- Night, world.
- (Wait. Did I remember to charge my phone?)
Day 2: Adventures in Blythewood (Probably Not)
Time: 7:00 AM – Breakfast - The Hotel Breakfast Gauntlet
- The moment of truth. The free breakfast. Will it be a glorious spread of scrambled eggs, crispy bacon, and perfectly toasted waffles? Or will it be… slightly sad? I'm preparing myself for the latter. I've packed emergency granola bars. Just in case. (Update: The waffles were… adequate.)
Time: 8:00 AM – The Decision
- This is it. Do I have an epic plan? I'm thinking, maybe, perhaps, the most exciting thing is… laundry. This is what happens when you don't plan anything ahead.
Time: 9:00 AM - Laundry Adventure!
- Laundry. The unsung hero of the travel experience. Except, is it? I have a love/hate relationship with doing laundry. I love having clean clothes. I hate, well… the process. Finding the right detergent pod (they always hide them!), figuring out how to operate the machine without accidentally launching my socks into another dimension. Pray for me.
Time: 11:00 AM - The Pool (If I'm Feeling Brave - Probably Not)
- There's a pool. I COULD be a glamorous person and get into the pool, but do I have a swim suit? no. Do I want to be around people right now? absolutely not. Maybe I'll just stick to people-watching from a distance.
Time: 12:00 PM – Lunch - Back to maybe the Restaurant of Despair
- I'm thinking. Maybe the restaurant of despair? Why not? Life is short. I'm a foodie.
Time: 2:00 PM - The Aftermath
- I will either love it or hate it. I will report back.
Time: 3:00 PM - Nap Time
- Self-explanatory.
Time: 6:00 PM – Dinner & Existential Dread.
- Dinner Again. What do I eat? Will I be alone? Will I be okay?
Time: 8:00 PM - Bed.
- Sleep.
Day 3: Departure - The Great Escape (Hopefully)
Time: 7:00 AM – Breakfast - AGAIN
- I survived.
Time: 8:00 AM – Packing - The Last Stand of Socks & Sanity
- Packing. The final hurdle. Remembering all the chargers. Making sure not to leave anything important behind. I'm a master of leaving things behind.
Time: 9:00 AM - Checking out. Goodbye Sweet Freedom
- Goodbye, Home2 Suites Blythewood! It’s been real (or at least, it’s been a place to stay). Wish me luck on the drive home! (Or wherever I'm headed next. I should probably make a plan.)
Time: Whenever – Realization!
- Did I leave the light on?
Post-Trip Ramblings:
Okay, so the whole thing wasn't exactly an epic adventure. But you know what? It was real. And maybe, just maybe, that’s enough. Sometimes a clean hotel, a questionable breakfast, and a chance to stare blankly at a TV are all you need. Or so I tell myself. Now, where's that step stool…?

Blythewood Getaway: Home2 Suites – The Honest Truth (and Maybe a Little Chaos)
So, Home2 Suites Blythewood... Luxury? Really? Like, REALLY REALLY?
Okay, so about the "luxury" part... let's just say it's a relative term. I mean, it's a Home2 Suites. Think... clean, comfortable, and *relatively* spacious. Don't go expecting a marble-floored ballroom with a personal butler. I was picturing chintz and like, a fully stocked mini-bar (which it didn't have). But! The bed was comfy. And that's HUGE. After a long drive, all I wanted was a soft place to collapse. Mission accomplished.
The Breakfast: Worth Waking Up For? (And is there *actually* a waffle maker?)
Alright, the breakfast situation. Yes, there *is* a waffle maker. And yes, the smell of waffles does indeed make you want to leap out of bed. I'm a waffle addict, so bonus points immediately. Though, I'll admit, there was a slight... waffle-related incident. Let's just say I got a little *carried away* with the batter and ended up with a waffle... that defied all known laws of physics in terms of size. It was a monster waffle. Ate every glorious bite though. Besides the waffles, there’s your standard continental fare. Cereal, oatmeal, some sad-looking pre-packaged pastries. But the waffles... the waffles are worth the effort. Just... pace yourself.
The Pool: Clean, Cool, and Calm? Or a Swamp Monster Convention?
Okay. Pool time. This is where things get... interesting. The pool itself *looked* clean. I'm pretty sure it was. I did not actually see any swamp monsters. Which is a win. The pool was refreshing after a long day of... well, whatever I was doing that day, probably driving and worrying about the monster waffle. Here's the thing though. There was a *lot* of kids. It wasn't so much calm, more like enthusiastic splashing and squealing. Which, you know, fair play to them. But if you're seeking zen, maybe pack some noise-canceling headphones. And a strong sense of humor. And maybe a floaty. Definitely a floaty.
Pet-Friendly? Because My Fluffy Overlord Demands Answers.
Yes! Home2 Suites Blythewood *is* pet-friendly! (Phew, right?) This is HUGE. I saw a couple of absolutely adorable little fluffballs. And a grumpy-looking bulldog who clearly ran the place. (I’m pretty sure he gave me the side-eye.) Just be prepared for the occasional dog bark and the potential for some enthusiastic sniffing in the hallways. Pack some treats, and all will be well. Just be sure your fluffy overlord behaves... unlike me and my monster waffle.
The Room: Shiny and New? Or a Little... Worn?
The rooms were... good. They were clean. They had the basic necessities. It's not the Ritz, people! Look, my room was fine. Functional. The decor isn't exactly going to knock your socks off. Think modern-ish, with a touch of beige. But it was comfy, plenty of space to move around, and crucial – the AC worked. That's a big deal in South Carolina. Now, I *did* have a slight issue with the remote control... it seemed to have developed a mind of its own. Kept changing the channel to the shopping network. Eventually, I just gave up and embraced my inner shopaholic. Okay, not really. But the "luxury" TV service was a little frustrating, I must be honest.
Location, Location, Location! Is Blythewood a Total Bore, or Does it have Potential?
Blythewood! Okay, so... it's not exactly Times Square. It's a quiet, suburban-y town. Plenty of chain restaurants (which, let’s be honest, sometimes you just NEED a reliable chain!), a few local spots. If you're looking for thrilling nightlife, you're in the wrong place. But it’s close enough to Columbia, so if you want some action, a twenty-minute drive could transport you to a whole new world of bars, restaurants, and what-have-you. It's a great base for exploring the area. Don’t expect to be blown away, but also, you won’t be massively disappointed. You’ve got options. That’s the key. Just roll with it, and embrace the small-town vibe. Trust me, it grows on you after about a day. A day of waffle-fueled adventures, of course.
The Staff: Angels or Apathetic Robots?
The staff? Generally, they were fine. Perfectly fine. Polite, helpful. They weren't overly effusive, which is sometimes what you want. No over-the-top friendliness at 6 am when you just want coffee, you know? They get points for not judging me too harshly when I stumbled bleary-eyed, waffle-faced, and slightly embarrassed, into the breakfast room that first morning. Or for my monster waffle creation. They’re doing their jobs, keeping the show going. Definitely a solid “B” for the staff. Nothing spectacular, nothing awful. Just... competent, which is what I needed. And appreciated, even if I wasn’t exactly a model hotel guest.
So... Would You Go Back? The Million-Dollar Question.
Honestly? Yeah, I probably would. For the price, and the location, it's a solid choice. The bed was comfy, the waffles were amazing (seriously, I *still* dream about that waffle), and it met my basic needs. It's a no-frills, comfortable experience. You know what you're getting. I’m going to give it four out of five waffle batter explosions. Okay, maybe three and a half. But hey, a girl's gotta eat, right? Especially when there's a waffle maker involved. It's not palace. But it's clean, safe, and friendly (mostly). And at the end of the day, it was my kind of getaway.
