Overall my stay was enjoyable The College Park Holiday Inn was located in a great area not to far off I-95 Ext

on Ikea Way and yes it shares a parking lot with Ikea The hotel has a Bar and Restaurant both reasonably priced Their breakfast buffet is very fulfilling and kids eat free That was a plus! Although I didn’t get a opportunity to use the pool, they did have a indoor pool in Tower One The staff were all very friendly My room was clean as well I definitely recommend this as a place to stay when visiting the area

Kala Twigg

Front desk staff were kind & tried to help as much as they could But this hotel is disgusting Not clean

Whole first tower smells like water damage My lungs & throat have been killing me Was contemplating staying extra days Definitely not now Moved rooms because the first definitely smelled of animals Children were complaining of that And water damage The elevators smell like urination And there is dust & dirt in every crevice Not to mention a very strange encounter at “free breakfast” which we wound up paying for I will be beyond grateful to be HOME (We originally wanted to stay at Hilton… it was having some Reno issues so they suggested we shop nearby, sad this is where we chose) Id venture to say the water/sprinkler system went off multiple times at some points in the past The carpets reek of water/mildew Convenient to the highway But … save your money people Drive elsewhere

Dan Royea

I really enjoyed my stay here Staff was very friendly and helpful Hotel was very clean no matter what area I was in, either my room, at the pool and in the elevator

I really enjoyed the color changing water wall (be sure to check it out) And this is the first hotel I’ve been to that has a doorbell for every room How cool is that? Plus the ring around the button changes red for do not disturb (also shuts off doorbell function) and green if you want your room cleaned Nice indoor pool Also has a nice restaurant/bar Outside was just as clean as the inside was It’s 30 minutes from the White House and 20 minutes away from the airport I highly recommend staying here if your in the area

The staff was very friendly and the room was clean and very comfortable The breakfast spread was nice

eggs, potatoes sausage and pastries Sad to have to use valet parking but there really is no other option available It would have been nice if it were included in the cost of the room with an option to tip the attendant All in all it was a great stay

Joyce Griffin

Very nice and clean Full kitchen, dishwasher, refrigerator, microwave, stove, garbage disposal, and large shower gel, shampoo, conditioner in bathroom All the amenities of a home away from home for a short term

No free parking for residence Steep at $27 over night Staying a few days so a bit pricey to me There was a stale odor on entering room Staff very accommodating and friendly

Mars Salcie-Gautreaux

This hotel is strongly mid The staff is ok but I’m a titanium elite which is the second highest status and I struggle to understand why my treatment wasn’t better No one acknowledged my status (they’re supposed to), didn’t get special treatment for it (also supposed to)

Our rooms were pretty basic but the cooking wear is really really old The breakfast was ok, most of the items were very salty and for whatever reason, they hid the wheat bread I’m used to wayyyyyy better service in 2/3 star hotels The front desk didn’t explain my benefits I asked to have my bags held for two weeks (as I come into town every two weeks) and was told no, even though pretty much every other hotel I’ve been to has stated yes, there were no free bottles of water at the front Also the elevator has been broken for four months and there is not effort to repair it The location is cool, but I would rather just stay at the Residence Inn in Gaithersburg if service is going to be less than great

Fantastic experience from the moment we walked in the door The night Auditor Chris went above and beyond to help us get checked in and make it a simple experience He was kinda and knowledgeable and answered all our questions and made it an easy experience

When we needed a couple extra blankets and pillows he answered the phone so politely and greeted us by name asking how he could assist us When we stepped down later that evening for some snacks from the snack bar, he was super helpful and even got us a bag to carry all our items back upstairsThe room was nice, and clean We did not have any issues during our stay Parking is only $24 a night compared to many local places charging almost $50 Would definitely stay againWe were also happy to find out there is a metro station near by for future visits Where we could walk 2 blocks and be at the hotel

Magdalia Ruiz

Beautiful smaller property Room is a bit outdated but it gives it a rustic historic feel The front desk staff are sweet and kind and accommodating

Beds are super comfortable, pillows are soft , room is basic but has what you need If I’m ever in the area again, I will definitely stay here Thank you!

Crystal Edwards

This Hotel is in a Great Location, and became my hubby and I, go to spot for comfort, relaxation and Great Service However, our most recent stay had determined that it would be the last time we patron, this Courtyard The room was inadequate, we were given a room right by the elevators, which became the alarm clock in the early morning, it was LOUD! No room service, even though the Website stated there would be, that needs updating

They did offer Grab & Go items, which should be changed to ” Grab- Pay & Go, some folks take that literally, just saying 🙄 The Hotel was kept cleaner before the Pandemic, because it was not up to cleanliness by any standards, the elevator’s were dirty, the carpet in our room didn’t look like it was vacuumed in a while, room was dusty, Guest were walking around without face covering, even though it’s the Hotel Policy to wear face covering?? There was some kind of Basketball tournament in the area and some teams did stay there, had I’d known that, this Courtyard would never had been an option and parking fees were also ridiculous, should be free free for Guest To bad though, this use to be a Really Good Courtyard Marriott, but we’ve moved on

Garshét Hatcher

I thoroughly enjoyed my stay at the Marriott, even though it was only for one night The room was modern, spacious, and you can smell the cleaning products when we walked in which is a breath of fresh air The restaurant/bar at the hotel is GOOD

I definitely recommend, the drinks and food exceeded our expectations Our waiter was also very nice!The only slight problem I had was that the washcloth in the bathroom was wet when we arrived, I’m not sure why or what it was used for but what if we had arrived later in the day and it was dry? We would have used a potentially dirty washcloth Also, you’re paying to park in a parking lot behind the building – not a garage

jeff goldberg

A very nice hotel with a large indoor pool, great dining facility, and comfortable suites The location of Bethesda Embassy Suites makes it extremely convenient for going to DC, northern Virginia, and Maryland locationsI especially appreciated the friendly and courteous staff, who started my day with a cheerful smile and a wonderful breakfast

They continued this as they greeted my return and supported my requests A Manager’s reception in the early evening helped ease the stress of the day or provided a change to help one wind downThe experience I had was shared by the hundreds of guests that were there at the same time I was I saw the staff interact with everyone in the same manner and you know the had equally comfortable and clean roomsSo come and stay at one of the DC area’s best hotels You’ll enjoy it, I’m certain

sharon fritts

We stayed at Embassy suites because my husband had to have facial reconstruction We had to stay 5 nights The location was great, close to the medical facility

The room was comfortable Berta, at the front desk, was very kind and helpful She was exceptional at her job, all of the staff seemed very good at whatever job they did The breakfast was wonderful, the breakfast team was AMAZING We are very pleased with our recent stay

Javier Mejia

Positives: Big and comfortable rooms, enough set of towels The breakfast offered is pretty good There is a good food variety and the products offer are of high quality

The room also had a good viewNegatives: The first night I had to kill a spider, and I didn’t had soap for my hands I also had to tell them twice to send a housekeeper to do room service

The Hampton Inn Laurel is a basic hotel The best things about it were: the location, the excellent staff, and the complimentary hot breakfast All the staff members were there to make your stay the best, and each took pride in the property they work at

The rooms are badly in need of renovation Our first room had a soft and old bed, but when we were moved to another room upon request, the bed was better In both rooms the bathroom sinks did not drain, although the showers were strong and decent The tiled floors need re-grouting The colors are dark and dingy, and the carpet had some stains The views were terrible, and the windows did not open for any air However, the A/C was sufficient There is no fan in the bathroom, which is a problem with steam when one showered I think that is a code violation We did ask for housekeeping during our 3 day stay and they did a good job The breakfast was very good and the coffee was delicious The lobby was nicely appointed and comfortable The pool looks nice, however it was not open when we were there I think that the staff goes above and beyond for their guests, but the sad appearance and condition of the rooms will lead me in a different direction when I book a stay in the greater Laurel area in the future

walter brzyski

Just OK, seems dated, had to pry my Gold Member bottle of water and snack from the front desk member She stated I only get water, but the sign shows Gold or Diamond is eligible, she then obliged Weird exchange

Walls are super thin, as you can hear the cell phone ring in the next room, the whole conversation, them using the bathroom(number 1) and then washing their hands Like having a roommate, but not seeing them, only hearing them I will check other properties outside of this area moving forward

I can’t speak highly enough about the staff, management and service! Not only is this hotel clean, updated and in a great location, but it’s well-run hotel, the team here doesn’t take anything lightly All concerns were addressed immediately and they were most helpful and compassionate when I experienced a personal emergency The front desk, maintenance and management were all very kind and I will never forget my experience here! Highly recommend, will be returning! Thank you~

Ahmed Al Bayati

Check in was smooth, I arrived earlier then the schedule and they were able to find me a room The room was clean overall, but had a couple of missing things here and there With a simple phone to the service desk they were able to get it

Daily housekeeping service, the housekeepers are wonderful and honestly that’s why I put the 4 stars It’s all for the housekeepers! Full kitchen is provided, location is great The gym is alright, only dumbbells and cardio (not expecting anything more) Overall great! Front desk staff were also great

Very clean, safe, and friendly place to stay Rooms were quite and beds were comfortable allowed for easy rest every night Finally, I wanted to mention Paul, who is a hotel employee (maintenance crew i think) that went out of his way to assist me during my visit

I had a 2 night stay here last week and I was greeted by Mia who was a very friendly and informative employee She even offered to look up restaurants/closest wine stores nearby for me when I inquired I really appreciated the kindness upon arriving

My room was very clean and and modern and the shades made the room dark for sleeping The only issue I had were some very noisy neighbors around midnight which lasted until around 1:30, which sounded like they were moving furniture around for 45 minutes and banging on the walls, but that is not the hotel’s fault I enjoyed the breakfast and always available coffee/tea in the lobby as well I was going into DC and the Greenbelt Metro station was a 10 minute drive from the hotel, which was very convenient also I look forward to staying here again the future

Kayle Mabry

I always travel for work and always stay here when I’m in town It’s one of the cleanest and best 3 star hotels I’ve stayed in It’s always extremely comfortable and is a good location and everything is up to date and new

Only reason I gave it 4 out of 5 stars is the noise at night if you’re on the highway side of the building I’m in my 20s and never have issues sleeping even with noise but even this was a little much for me Other than that I would recommend this hotel everytime

Andrew K

Staff was excellent! I’m sorry I can’t give 5 stars on this alone and separate it from the Hotels location! A crowd of “youths” in and around the lobby as I’m checking in after midnight And on the street in and around the Hotel there was rambunctious activity and even fighting that had local police intervention! Great stuff when you’re trying to sleep And not just for a minute or two, this went on for hours! I expect more from a Hilton!And oh, the water dripping out of the shower, basically made it useless was the kicker! Unacceptable! Otherwise the room was spotless and nice, very clean! Again, staff was wonderful and I felt sorry for them having to deal with the trouble there

We always stay at a Holiday Inn Express when we travel but this was not the same experience Outside looks like their typical/renovated hotel however, rooms are very dated and small I wouldn’t recommend this location if you enjoy other Holiday Inn Express locations, you will be disappointed

Pros:-Not far from tourist attractions-No daily parking fee (others in the area charge)-Parking lot/facility was gated and well lit-Morning front desk staff were pleasant and helpfulCons:-Typical breakfast was missing ‘normal’ options daily (We were there for 6 days/5 nights) Also, breakfast staff was overheard talking about guests to other guests (not positively)-No hot water one morning but was corrected in the afternoon Also, shower made a very loud sound while water was running-Rooms are very outdated and small comparatively-Possibly not the greatest area but I’m not from around there I only say that because the front door is a key card swipe to open 24/7 and there is a security guard overnight

Johnny M.

This location is situated perfectly for enjoying the area It’s a safe and clean place to stay The Ritz Carlton it is not

There was a disconnect somewhere on there part concerning my reservation but fortunately it was resolved later that evening It has its own parking lot but if you happen to go when the hotel is at capacity, finding a spot might be a chore Parking spaces are tight It’s very dated and some of the furniture and drapes in my room looked tired It definitely needs some attention to detail Breakfast was OK and served its purpose Walmart is just down the street I would stay here again but it would not be my first choice

Renée

Pros and cons—Cons: To Google maps and IHG Google stated this was 8 minutes from my destination NOT!And from the employee standpoint

ahem IHG please get them renovated!!Pros: Staff, hkpg and the girl at the front desk who greeted me were wonderful! (give them a raise!)Clean but dated rooms Breakfast was yummy, just like the one at my hotel!👋😄

We stayed here for two weeks while our home was being remodeled The location was perfect for us We booked two rooms as my husband and I both work remotely and had our double monitors set up in each room

The desk/chair was comfortable for working 10+ hrs/day The internet was fast and reliableThere is no kitchen but there are plenty of eating options just steps from the hotel There is a microwave and a small fridge The free coffee in the lobby was pretty good too!Our kids enjoyed the indoor pool as a treat and we made use of the fitness centerThe breakfast is cooked to order and served I would have rather full self service because it took a long time in the mornings, but it was good The food was fresh, especially the fruitsEveryone was friendly and the accommodations were comfortable overall It is not easy to live/work out of a hotel with small kids, we made the best of it and this turned out to be a great option

Shujie Dong

The hotel looks great from outside, bedroom clean and big Unfortunately, The bathroom smell of Urine When speaking to the staff who insisted that all rooms cleaned very well and she didn’t smell it and she stated she had a good nose

The front desk staff is professional but I cannot feel her warmthOther than that the hotel cafe’ staff is very friendly, look forward to switching to a different room this afternoon

VagabondMike

This hotel looks clean and modern, but that’s where the comfort ends Every expense was spared in the comfort of this hotelI’m sure they could have found a firmer substance for the bed

Maybe concrete, but even that may have been an improvement, at least springs wouldn’t have been stabbing at me all nightThe pillows are feather, but broken down horribly I would like to think it’s from washing them so often, but they weigh a ton for a feather pillow, which means they’re probably full of dust mites from years of useIt was clean, but I probably would have gotten a better nights sleep in the truck Spend your money somewhere else

and a secret rooftop play areaMy only cons: our key pad on door was way to tricky Took 5 tries every time Rooms are nice but a little dated No water offered in the room other than from the sink tap Had to go to front desk for all snacksOverall, a very enjoyable experience with a hotel close to everything you could need

I can’t speak for others but my experience has been great so far The gentleman tonight was patient with me when I didn’t know where to park and told me where everything was after he helped me out Called twice prior regarding questions for the hotel and each time one of the guest representatives was very helpful

The rooms are really clean, parking was breeze, staff was great I can’t really ask for more It’s relatively close to the NIH so I really can’t complain This probably won’t impact a lot of people but the height for the garage is 6 feet 3 inches I had to drive my personal vehicle from Pittsburgh instead of my work one( not a big deal but just a heads up)

Great room Clean and comfortable Friendly staff

We stayed for 4 days and initially said we didn’t need housekeeping, but we changed our mind I asked for the room to be cleaned on the 2nd day and they said fine and wrote it down, but never came My husband asked the front desk for extra coffee pods, they never sent them So think about your needs carefully when you check in They really go by whatever you initially tell them The location is great Many great restaurants, grocery, within walking distance (Panera, Starbucks, subway, and great local places – we enjoyed Fish Taco twice) Breakfast is expensive at hotel so we just got some items at the Giant grocery down the street Parking is expensive ($20 per day) but really convenient Metro is just a couple blocks away

The staff is really, really nice!! Easy to get to by public transit— you can call their shuttle to get you from the metro, but it only runs on weekends right now bc of the pandemic It’s about a mile walk in an easy flat area if you don’t have too much luggage or it’s a nice day Beds are super comfy and the showers are great

The toiletries provided are lightly scented and smell great! The rooms are kind of dark at night which I don’t really like, but they are otherwise great Nice and clean The light switches are all electronic buttons which might take you a few minutes to work out but once you get the hang of it it’s kinda nifty The pool and gym are solid and the conference amenities are very attractive as well I haven’t been to the spa myself but a friend got her nails done there and had a great experience The bar is wonderful, though the beer selection is pretty smallThey make a great bloody mary!

I loved my stay here! Beautiful hotel with an amazing view Conveniently located just steps from the University of Maryland The staff was nice, the room was immaculate, and the bed was so comfortable

If you are planning a trip to DC this is a great option just outside the district but is located near the metro line I really enjoyed my stay here and hope to visit again

I have stayed at the University of Maryland Hotel several times over the past few yearsThe rates are good and the service is excellent The staff is very friendly

I wish that some of the rooms had bath tubs instead of just showers but that’s a minor issueThe two restaurants right next to the premises, a pizza place and a bagel place, are excellent and reasonably pricedObviously this location makes sense if you’re doing something at the University of Maryland However, it’s a very clean and professional outfit for anyone staying in the DC area in general

Nice hotel Parking was free on weekends so if you are leaving on a weekend there’s no need to payEntry is a bit weird off the street but the security of this hotel is 5 stars

You need your keycard to get around Staff was nice as well Room was clean Like most hotels the bathroom could use some more attention but overall was very satisfied

Yanick Rochon

Rooms are okay The curtains still let light pass in the morning The extra bed had no blanket included so we had to order some (without charge but we specifically asked at check in but had to repeat request a second time)

Nothing else is included There is no swimming pool, no gym, no breakfast included, and a paid parking It’s disappointing for the price

Convenient transportation, convenient shopping, quick check-in, considerate handmade chocolate cookies at the front desk, business center, easy access to computers, clean and tidy rooms But there is no matching pool and exercise equipment, the room does not have a microwave, parking is not ideal, there is paid parking and paid breakfastSo Check-in is recommended if parking and breakfast are not required
