I've done a bunch of Homewood stays and never had an issue with the water. (Or really anything else that I can recall.) That's not something brand-specific...could happen at any hotel in any chain.
If they need to turn it off for 6 hours, they try to do it midday when the fewest guests are in the hotel. That's not surprising...
Average Homewood is newer than the average Residence Inn. They also seem to have more King beds, whereas a bunch of RI's were installed with Queens. And you don't take the 50% points penalty like you do at RI.
Homewood is one of Hilton's good brands where they beat the competition pretty easily. Now if only there were as many of them as there are RI's...
