Today I am review a Homewood Suites Studio in Concord, Ca. I call this “timeshare Lite” because the unit has many of the features of a timeshare (full kitchen, pool, activities, Studio), but typically not as elegant as a timeshare… This is why you take the points when doing an owner update. With Hilton Honors points, I booked four nights with points and got a fifth Night free.
The resort has a small pool. It also had a nice fitness center… One of the advantages over a timeshare is they had free breakfast each day and evening snacks (only on Wednesday currently). They also had Grills by the pool adding to the timeshare feel.
