I would stay at the Homewood if there are any decent restaurants within 10 minutes of you, unless you really really like your hot breakfast. If it's one of the Homewoods with Queen Studio rooms that are about 30x15, I'd take one of those every time and even pass up the two-room suite upgrades.
The $5 pantry credit at the HGI is nice, but the ability to stop and get your favorite beverage and snack and store it in your own full-size refrigerator is really nice after a couple of weeks. And some Homewoods even go out and do grocery shopping for their customers a la Residence Inn.
