First Thoughts on Homewood Suites by Hilton Kansas City Speedway

Homewood Suites by Hilton Kansas City Speedway

Peyton and I travel frequently, which means we check out hotels often. However, this was my first time at a Homewood Suites and it was also one of the few times I traveled without Peyton.  The Homewood Suites by Hilton Kansas City Speedway is centrally located to shopping, restaurants and entertainment.

Why I Quit Nutrisystem
