the inside was redone recently and is very nice The outside is a bit of a deterrent If I was driving by I would not go in

But once in the door the lobby, room, and amenities are really nice The service at the Coffee Bar was perfect The woman that served us was Awesome and not to mention we left at 11pm and returned at 8am and she was back!!!! What dedication

I feel for the most part that Courtyard in itself just kind of rides off the Marriott name and this one is no exceptionPRO’s – The hotel main floor is very clean, has ample lounge spots and overall very inviting The inside fireplace is very nice and welcoming

The little store off from the front desk is super convenient (also ridiculously expensive) The rooms have been updated(ish) with comfortable beds, new sofas, carpet yet out of place looking furniture with an early 90s persona Room service was great and they replenish with more than enough towelsCONS – The Bistro in the morning is the worst Bistro of all the Marriotts I’ve been to in the last ten years and I’ve been to ALOT The Bistro “opens” at 6:30a through the week and my rewards include free breakfast everyday Would’ve been awesome if someone was actually there at 6:30 and ready to serve Nope 6:40? Nope! Half the time closer to 7am and the poor guy from the front desk has to come over there and do the Bistro employees job BECAUSE THEY DONT SHOW UP ON TIME, CONSISTENTLY!! The food is also way overpriced for what you get, I mean…over $4 for a small bottle of water? Is this hotel THAT broke? Front desk guy needs a raise as he was doing everyone’s job most mornings, by himself The floor hallways are very long and creepy as in new carpet yet odd looking wood doors out of the 80s The keyless cards don’t work half of the time The toilet takes five flushes just to get a piece of toilet paper to actually go down Water pressure is horrible and takes ten minutes to try and get all the soap off you in the shower Undersized room TVs and only two USB ports in the whole room and those two are on top of the alarm clock The outside of the hotel is cringe and unwelcoming The grounds need major focus and look overall unkempt Killed multiple spiders in the room throughout my stay The pillows are way to flat and unsupportive Took all five of them together just to make one good one that kept my neck straight One washer and one dryer for the entire hotel that look like the first whirlpools ever invented and did not wash nor dry good at all Stairwell carpets are stained and you aren’t sure if you’re climbing stairs in a state prison or a hospitalOverall, the lobby felt more like a Marriott while everything else felt like a nice Motel 6 If you’re passing through for the night and traveling alone than this will suffice but don’t expect much because the hotel just doesn’t offer much and the staff is just kinda “there” I will most definitely not be staying with this hotel again and will not book it for any of my employees going forward

Great hotel, staff is very friendly and helpful Loved the gym and equipment in the room that encourages business travels to stick to their routine Room was clean and spacious food was good

Parking needs a little bit of work but not terrible Use the conference room space w/ coworkers and it was very accommodating Overall great experience as a business traveler Teresa was wonderful!

I booked a night at this hotel this weekend after my boyfriend stayed there for over 2 weeks It is a pet friendly environment and the gym is fully equipped with new machinery The rooms are very spacious with many outlets and comfy bed

There was only a mini fridge and no microwave The staff overall was friendly, however, there were 2 incidents that we had with the staff that was very disappointing My boyfriend stayed in that room for over 2 weeks and they only cleaned the room once We had asked for the staff to provide us new sheets, towels, and washcloths and remove the old bedding and trash in the room I informed them that my dog would be gone the entire day to be groomed so they may clean the room Unfortunately, they do not clean the rooms while you are staying there because of Covid We had to change our own sheets and take the trash out and after asking on 4 different occasions for them to bring us all that we asked for, we finally received everything We had also asked for a late check out, which they approved The next day we had gone downstairs to reactivate the room keys and the staff told us we could not do late checkout We only had 45 minutes to checkout or we would have been charged another night Overall, we had decent experience, although, I personally will not come back to this hotel

Sara Smith

We booked a room in your hotel as always in advance from April 23-25, we indicated in advance that we need 2 queen beds We received confirmation of the reservation We were calm that everything was fine

But when we got to the reception desk, it turned out that we were not expected There was surprise on the faces of the custom service, and they said that they had been waiting for us only since April 26 and there was no room with two queen size beds in the hotel But wasn’t it possible to warn us about this when they confirmed our reservation? And how could we confuse our dates for booking a room We showed in the phone that we have a reservation from April 23-25 Of course, the custom service did everything to save the situation, and found a free room for us, but our mood did not improve from this The very fact that one of the reception staff mixed up our booking dates, did not warn us in advance that we needed two queen-size beds, and even when we checked into our room, the bathroom was poorly cleaned, the bath was poorly cleaned, there were traces of other guests inside the toilet We have stayed at your hotel twice And the second time was the last We will no longer be staying at your hotel Your service has become substandard And the price for the room is greatly overstated

Attended this location for a business conference Hotel wasn’t complicated to navigate and staff was friendly and willing to be helpful I thought the food was some of the best I’ve had at any resort

Even means made in mass for the entire group were very good Bar was a very nice size to spread out if you wanted Rooms were good, nothing overly special but clean and nice Would definitely do it again

Arik D. Brown

I picked this place for a short distance getaway to celebrate my wedding anniversary Some of the reviews my wife read were not accurate Thankfully we didn’t listen to them and stayed here

We had a great time!It is a nice mini resort The rooms were nice and clean and the service was great We ate primarily at the resort and enjoyed our food and the atmosphere Great gym and pool I’m not a golfer but the course looked nice The Spa is FABULOUS I highly recommend this place!

chintu sharma

So my only gripe is still there The bathroom sink set in the middle of the bathroom has a table leg that sits in the middle My foot hits that every time I stay there

Otherwise the location, bars, ambience, food, golf and setting are excellentI love the pool and spa I want more time here Also a great setting for weddings, just a beautiful well curated set for an important moment

Carpets were dirty The twin beds took up most of the room There was the sofa bed, but it had no sheets – we had to order them twice before they came

Worst of all, the free breakfast (well, we probably paid for it out of the $27500 one night stay) I was hoping they would have a nice selection for one’s personal taste – especially for the room rate The eggs were cold hard boiled, no fruit, there was milk, cereal, and some packaged waffles Juice too Forget trying to find any hot scrambled eggs or omelettes – they didn’t offer any McDonald’s would have been better We were the only ones wearing masks in the crowded room that had no social distancing during this latest COVID outbreak – and the dirty looks we got from patrons – I don’t think it was because we are interracial – but you never know The looks were like “Why are you here? – “Do you really belong?” – “How can you afford this place?”

Jasmin Leu

Big and clean room with fridge, microwave and TVBreakfast was delicious good choice Oat milk and fresh fruits were a highlight

Negative is that there is to much single use plastic involved Instead use real plates and mugs and glasses Would be much more environmentaly conciousIf this changes 5 stars are appropriate

Michael Sadowsky

My interactions with the staff were excellent When I asked for sheets for the pullout they had them right awayThis location’s breakfast has not fully recovered from COVID yet

There was breakfast, but more limited than I would normally expect from a Springhill, and lots of individual packages, and less hot food optionsThis was the smallest Springhill room I have ever stayed in We had a King with a pullout, and when the couch was pulled out the door to the room could not be fully opened I’m not sure how that isn’t a fire hazard

Mike Topper

Nice rooms comfortable beds but when I reserved the room I paid for the “romance package” chocolate covered strawberries wine and roses were to be waiting in our room on the bed also breakfast room service and a late check out When my wife and I arrived there was no such thing as a romance package

we did not get any of the extras I had hoped for no room service there was wine available in the lobby and the maids pounded on our door every hour like the police! Our quiet romantic evening and morning was a let down We have 5 kids and was really looking forward to a quiet morning sleeping in but it didn’t happen thanks to the maids probably won’t visit this hotel again

Shearmene Steals

The hot tub was closed, couldn’t use the gym due to the pungent sewer odor, the pool also smelled bad after being in it for 30 minutes,the computers were also not working during breakfast at the hotel the waitress was very polite and helpful as well as the dining staff however the cook did not get my orders correct He made me wait 40 minutes to recieve my breakfast after preparing food for other guest at the hotel, although I was first to order

Todd Hess

I spend 80% of my time living out of Hiltons So I know what to expectPositive:Rooms are largeHousekeeping staff does a great job

Negative:Maintenance needs in the rooms need attentionMaintenance again, the spa out of orderFront desk lady was very rude when we arrivedOne of the reasons why we chose a Garden Inn, is because they have a onsite pub when we come home in the evening we can have a drink before retiring We were told us guest we’re not allowed to have drinks because they had rented it out for a private party The manager argued that he could reduce our accommodations anytime he wanted We’re paying for something we’re not gettingI recommend you do not stay here Just stay at the Hampton, that’s the service level you get Why Pay More

Overall it is the same as any other Fairfield so if you like them, you will like this one It is close to the highway and in a business area so if you have business in the area it is very convenient Simple breakfast conveniently served

Pool on site Rooms are clean and spacious Beds are fantastic Place looks very new so everything is in good shape and clean Recommended

Mary Jane Lavin

Greeted warmly Room including bathroom was very clean, no odors, comfortable bed Very quiet in the area of my room

Breakfast room was clean, a good selection of food, coffee was good, hot and plentiful Parking is free Note: the parking lot is shared with a restaurant on the property The lot was crowded when I arrived but I found a space close to the front entrance

KRA

Standard sized rooms, very clean, shower has excellent water pressure Business center has free printing, and they offer continental breakfast This location is walking distance to several chain restaurants, it is also a 5-10 minute drive away from various pharmacies, a Walmart, and other big box stores

I knocked off one star because rooms do not contain a safe, which is very unusual for a hotel

Overall it was a fine place to stayCONS The breakfast was not good at all Soggy waffles, dried out sausage, the eggs were okay

I stay places with breakfast in mind and that was not one I would want to have again The stay was Over priced I felt compared to the marriott Renaissance Cleveland that I was in the weekend before for $50 cheaper and only 5 min walk from the house of blues right downtown where my concert was at Not real close to late night food placesPROS The staff were friendly, the room was clean and comfy The area was nice and I felt safe walking around at night

Speaking to a handicapped accessible room Shower seat extended past the tub making it impossible to use the shower curtain to keep water off the floor Since housekeeping is limited this meant I had to ask for extra towels to soak up the water on the floor

There is a phone installed on the wall that is so close to the grab bar that it makes it difficult to use the bar effectively so my son has knocked the phone off the hook a few times when trying to gain his balanceRoom didn’t have dish soap or towels and dish set was a bit incomplete We reserved a king bed suite and got a queen studio Considering my son is 16 and needs space due to his surgery that is a huge adjustmentMany of the lights on the property do not work which becomes an issue of safety at night I had to use my cell phone flashlight to navigate the property and also to figure out how to use the card to enter (no light at the door or lights in the parking lot) which isn’t the easiest thing while pushing my child in a wheelchair that needs two hands to do so Accessible entrance is not easily found Went to two doors because the one near the parking lot wasn’t accessible and the one near the courtyard was (super steep incline on the ramp to that door)If you don’t have to consider safety and accessible options it’s likely ok I stayed here before many years ago but my son at that time was not wheelchair bound so I didn’t notice all these problems thenThe hallways do have smells of food and animals but the room appears to smell ok Our tv also doesn’t work properly It allegedly was on 86:100 but barely a whisper as far as volume

This place rips off veterans Really, they’re ripping off the citizens of the United States by not honoring the government rate for official travel But also ripping me off, because I’m going to have to eat the difference based on the way travel reimbursements work

Occasion: Work travel- Booked online for 3-8 April at government rate of $199- Shortened reservation to check out 6 April before my arrival date ( my Th/Fr meetings were cancelled) and was not informed of a rate change, nor did I receive an updated confirmation reflecting a different rate)- Offered proper documentation per their website at check in and was told they didn’t need (looking back, this could have been a foreshadowing but it’s not uncommon for businesses to not want to see ID so I didn’t infer trouble at the time)- Called on the 5th to extend until Friday again (they added back the meetings on Th/Fr) and was not informed of a rate change, nor did I receive an updated confirmation reflecting a different rate-When I received the bill, even though they had listed the correct rate at the top, they charged me $328 for all but the last day (smh on that one) And to make matters worse, when I tried to call the hotel and Marriott to get the adjustment, they denied me!Would I return/recommend? Not if you’re military or government on official travelFWIW, the husband is a Hilton Honors member and has never had an issue of this nature or a response of this type from Hilton I’m already looking into whether I can transfer my status

Super nice front desk staff! They were courteous, friendly, and very helpful The room was nice There were a couple of small things that need to be repaired

The location: the hotel is located in a business park environment So, the view is of roads or the parking lot There are shops about a half mile away They have an indoor pool and hot tub Breakfast is pretty basic fare There is a bar in the restaurant So, nothing fancy But, the staff is superb!

Jason Lee

In terms of hospitality and comfort, this stay at the Hilton Garden Inn Rockville-Gaithersburg hotel was by far one of the most best and memorable experiences Joyce and April both helped our two families check in quickly and easily allowing us to make the most of our short stay Not only that, they also took the time to get to know us and found out that it was our 4 year olds birthday and made it extra special by giving him a really memorable present

It’s these little things that make us keep coming back to Hilton and if you’re ever looking for a comfortable, friendly stay, look no further!

Courtenay Marshall

The hotel is clean and well maintained but a little tired and could use some upgrading It’s located in a convenient and nice neighborhood The restaurant staff was very friendly and helpful

The hotel still is not cleaning daily which is fine but I called 4 times and visited the front desk in person asking to get the in-room coffee replenished including waiting up late last night for someone that would be “right up” I’m typing this in need of coffee desperately I’m a Hilton Diamond member and besides a 25 cent bottle of water at checkin there has been no acknowledgment It’s just about impossible to get responses If you just need a room and don’t care about indifferent “service” then it’s fine to stay here Don’t forget to bring your own Kuerig coffee pods if you are staying more than one night Tried to check out on the app but that wasn’t working so went to the front desk and the girl at front desk was busy on a FaceTime call with her friend and couldn’t be bothered to talk and said put the key in the jar Indifferent “service” by the hotel staff from beginning to the end

Hampus Engstroem

Decent hotel The lobby is really flashy, unfortunately the rooms are quite dated, and mine had a weird smell The shower had some mildew on the floor, and of course the room had an old carpet on the floor as most hotels do

At least the rooms were bigThe on site restaurant had a decent selection of food and beverages, I had the salmon for dinner and it was pretty good I also had breakfast in the restaurant and they did not have the buffet set up, I ordered parfait with granola and fruit and it was good! Main gripe was that they charged for coffee and juice, and quite a lot, so the whole ticket got quite expensive for a really simple breakfast The executive lounge was closed too which was a bit if a bummerOverall it was a decent stay, definitely stayed in worse hotels

Matt Winn

Our stay at the hotel was extremely disappointing On the first night, there was continuous noise until 1am Part of that noise was the hotel staff loudly opening and closing doors up and down our hallway and running a vacuum cleaner which they also carelessly slammed into the door/wall outside our room

When we asked the staff member with vacuum to stop, he refused Part of the noise was rowdy activity in the hallway, which the staff did nothing about despite multiple requests Even later in the week, young people were running around and yelling in the hallways because there is no atmosphere of civility or control by the staff It was very disruptiveOur stay was also disappointing because basic amenities were broken, unavailable, or held at cost For example, the convenient location next to the metro was spoiled because upon return, the door back into the hotel was locked and the card key access was not operational We asked to use a microwave and were told that it would be a $10 extra charge – really? At the price we were spending – which did not even include any room cleaning – it is insulting to me that you’d try to milk even more money out of us for something that could have been set up and finished in 5 minutesConsidering the hotel itself was responsible for these disappointing factors in our stay, I regret paying for the room and don’t think it will be a good idea to return, even though I plan to return to Rockville many times in the future

Teresa Buchanan

This is a conference hotel but it’s also perfect for business travelers Things I loved: super fast elevator, simple interior parking, Starbucks, great bartender and kind front desk people, good work space in the room (huge desk chair), fabulous pillows, every store you need within walking distance, close to DC, AND across the street from a metro stop and regular sized grocery store (Safeway!) My FAVORITE thing? It was So

Quiet!!! Slept great!

Due to a project, which got extended over and over again, i spent quite a few months in total here this year Reception, Bar, Security, Housekeeping staff etc were all so amazing

Felt very welcomed here and the overall competence as well as the motivation of the staff to make your stay special was totally outstandingReally gonna miss most of them and hope to see them again!Absolutely recommended from my sideSafe travels everyone!🙏🏼

Rion McKeithen

I visited this location for business travel and was exceptionally pleased with my experience Upon arrival, I received a small welcome gift [as a member of the rewards program], and had a beautiful lake facing room I was pleased that it was quiet and all service requests were tended to with care

During my stay I enjoyed the fitness facility, restaurant, and adjacent attractions at Rio It was very nice to have the option to go to the movie theatre or walk around the lake right next to the front doorEven though there were many highlights of this trip, the best part was undoubtedly the service provided by Carla [front desk] She went above and beyond in helping me with all of my questions and become acquainted with the area I even had a few requests that were not part of the regular offerings and she helped craft and deliver innovative solutions It was a refreshing relief to receive such excellent customer service that would be more commonly associated with the St RegisOverall I strongly recommend this hotel for any business travelers and also believe it would be suitable for families as it quite safe and orderly There are also adjacent attractions for children including a carousel, large arcade and multiple high quality family restaurants

Sue Bai

My daughter and I stayed here last week during the independence day weekend The hotel was quiet, clean and the staff are very friendly and welcoming The location was ideal: we walked over to AMC for a movie-night right across the hotel! The breakfast food was so well prepared I left a note to the food service manager about how much we appreciated the wonderfully prepared food, even though it was a slow weekend with very few customers at the hotel

I am impressed by the quality of the service and highly recommend this hotel!

Yudita Markovich

Hampton Inn was one of my go-to places for a quick one night stay on a road trip Last May, I stayed at a couple of them in Maine and was not disappointed What I like best about them is that they are clean and the bed is usually pretty comfortable

This specific one has some issues I think that they don’t use all cotton sheets or something because they don’t feel good against the skin The mattress wasn’t awful but not good The pool area smelled strongly of mold I was down there last night because I needed to relax my back and do some water therapy exercises after a long drive Because I have a mold allergy, I’m still having symptoms in my chestWhile I’d recommend Hampton Inn as a chain for folks on a road trip, I wouldn’t recommend this one Keep driving

New Very Clean Comfortable stay

Nice staff LOVED their pet policy Hate that the hilton has expanded their pet policy but this is the first hotel i have visted with posted strict pet policies Pets had restricted areas, and doors were to have a door cardBreakfast was ok If you are taking food back to your family take the tray from your room to avoid a trip back upstairs

We found this amazing place on a whim Luckily someone had cancelled there reservation and in less than 24 hours we arrived It’s not easy to plan far in advance with 3 kids under the age 5

This place made everything so worth it We booked our reservation with the owner Monique She was detail oriented and nice to talk with Chris welcomed us with wine and warm cookies Breakfast was superb We stayed in The Turret room The house was beautiful and our room smelled really good The room necessities were a bonus The robe material was heavy and warm Close proximity to downtown We walked to Magoo’s for dinner We look forward to visiting again and thank you for welcoming us

My husband and I were traveling through Maryland for our honeymoon and decided to make this cute place our first stop Do yourself a favor and stop here too Monique the owner and Christopher were such wonderful hosts and were very kind and professional

They cooked the most delicious breakfast for us and made us feel like royalty The house has a collected and vintage feel while still being very clean and cozy We were able to walk to a nice dinner and see the neighborhood which was very fun! Also Violet the dog deserves 5 stars for being a sweetheart

10 Clarke mixes old world charm and modern amenities We were graciously greeted by Christopher who introduced us to what the property had to offer Next we were treated to iced tea, red or white wine and freshly baked cookies in the parlor where we chatted with another guest

Our room, Poet’s suite was spacious and clean The linens were good quality and the bed and pillows were comfortable Soap, lotion, shampoo, conditioner and hairdryer were provided10 Clarke is nicely situated and we walked downtown to stroll around the Carroll Creek area Later in the evening we walked to dinner at one of the many fine restaurants Frederick has to offer After returning from dinner, we noticed the party lights in the back yard It is a spacious area with patio table and chairs and multiple seating areas that are perfect for fair weather enjoyment among the trees and plantingsThe next morning we met Rachael, the property manager and hostess, who presented a wonderful breakfast of her nicely prepared house specialty items The food exceeded all expectations and was complimented by her gracious and warm manner Breakfast was served in the formal dining room with lovely table settings10 Clarke checks all the boxes and is a place to visit and return to We plan to return and bring friends

Full breakfast with lots of options You won’t go hungry! The room was very nice and included a fridge and microwave Coffee in the room or an unlimited supply in the lobby area (plus tea and hot cocoa)

The staff was super and the most friendly I’ve ever encountered Free shuttle service to and from the airport I loved the bathroom with large counter space and a huge mirror I highly recommend!

Cathy Reis

Comfortable stayI visited with family to visit relatives in the area The children used the swimming pool It was a hit

Complementary breakfast was very satisfying and more than ample The beds were comfortable One thing to be aware of is this is a pet friendly hotel I did not bring a pet But I did hear a few barking yips in the middle of the night It only slightly woke me up I would stay here again It was a little expensive for the four of us but if it if needed I would stay again

Tammy DeRosier

We stayed at the Hampton Inn with our swim team for a tournament over President’s Day weekend The staff couldn’t have been nicer to our team, wishing them luck and asking how it went when we came back And, the management was wonderful to work with as we booked a block of rooms and banquet space

They had everything ready for us, cleaned the banquet room quickly while we were at the pool to have it ready when we came back, and made sure that breakfast was ready as we had some early mornings at the pool They also worked with us to make sure all of our girls were on one floor and the boys were on another and the rooms were together Rothitha and his team were excellent and can’t thank them enough for a great experience !

A Straightforward ReviewContext:-I booked 2 rooms for 5 nights-I called the manager of the property for clarification about earlier reviews-I am a Diamond Member with HiltonExperience:-I arrived at 4:28 and one room was not ready and was told that the 3p Check-in is not a guarantee-I was given an accessible room since there was no ETA of my room being ready-The AC in the room did not cool the room till a full 24 hours-Both rooms had an odor that never left throughout the entire stay One room smelled of fish and the other one of stale air

I had housekeeping and the front desk make repeated attempts to fix the situation-the shower did not drain-there was a towel shortage therefore for our last nights stay neither room had enough towel supplies for us to all bathe properly (that was after asking the front desk for assistance)-the dogs above us barked for hours without skipping a beat This happened for 3 days whenever the owner would leave ( I did ask for front desk assistance)-elevator looked to have had spots of animal urine-the AC in the hallway was not working-neighbors screaming throughout the night in the room that did not have the dogs-the Internet worked for 3 of the 5 days We had to use our phones to tether to other devicesStaff:-The staff was kind and ready to help-The staff sympathized with concerns but had no help for any of the above situations-I called the Diamond Service desk and asked for a possible transfer to another property and they hung up on me after a 55 minute phone callConclusion:I have lived in foreign countries and understand that these complaints are minimal in the scope of humanity, however if you are looking for an experience… I believe this is not the hotel experience you are looking for I came to this location for a vacation for a birthday getaway and unfortunately I do regret this decision If you are a family staying over a couple of nights, I do believe the staff is very kind and will give you a good experience, but the property itself I would rate closer to a Best Western Plus experience and not a Hilton experience

Rachael Davis

We got a 2 queen bed and 1 sleeper sofa room for 2 adults and 4 kids We weren’t planning on spending much time in our room so it was perfect for us Upon check in the room was clean and well prepared

However, no room cleaning services were provided the 3 days we were there We had no where to place dirty towels, no replenishing of soaps or coffee/tea When we went to the front desk to request more towels and ask about their room cleaning services, they said they only clean the rooms on the 5th day of someone being in the room? How is that sanitary? They did give us a few more towels but that was it We had a complaint about the room next to us blaring music and essentially throwing a party rather late in the evening We called the front desk and they said they’d handle it, but nothing was resolved until we called the room directly and requested they turn down their music Then, at no fault of their own the fire alarms went off in the building but there was no explanation provided for this At checkout, they didn’t even ask how our stay was or seek out feedback They checked to make sure our room was paid for and then literally turned away and began talking to other staff thereSome things we did like were the fact that we didn’t have to pay for the 4 kids The breakfast that is provided was good There appeared to be a lot of things available to guests there but we didn’t get to check them out

Wendy Mills

I was a little skeptical especially after reading some of the negative reviews but I am glad I went ahead and stayed here anyways The front desk reception for the PM shift was great I forgot to get her name but she was so friendly and so helpful I felt very welcomed

Room was clean and breakfast selection was a little minimal but I certainly didn’t expect a full breakfast spread Would definitely stay here again in my next trip to Gaithersburg!

This was very pleasant place to stay The breakfast spread was extremely impressive The staff was very nice and my favorite part was that the rooms were definitely clean

The bad thing is vending machines take quarters only along with laundry Reception desk has quarters Elevator smelled like smoke but truthfully none of those mattered to me because our room was SPOTLESS Sheets were clean and comforter were comfy Pillows too

Ben Maddox

Platinum Tier customer service encompassing a very enjoyable experience The employees here are friendly, courteous, and professional! Breakfast is phenomenal! Beautiful park on site is wonderfully filled with fresh air, green grass, and a lovely pavilion for an outdoor meditation spot! I also highly recommend walking over to Minerva for some of the best comfort food I’ve had in years, take your card from the front desk and you will have 10% off your meal! I am very pleased with my visit and am looking forward very much to my return stay shortly!

Terry Guers

Stayed one Saturday night The price was $70 less expensive than a similar type national brand hotel nearby The room was fine and the AC was adjustable and responsive which was important since the outside temp was 92

The morning breakfast provided a nice selection and the breakfast room was good sized Free parking Only negative was an additional, small charge not listed in the reservation because the room had a safe To enter the highway when leaving the hotel, you must turn right There is a gas station conveniently located right beside the hotel

This place is an unbelievably good deal The rooms are HUGE (be sure to ask for a tower room) It’s a bit of a drive from DC, but we plan on staying here any time we come back

This hotel offers an experience you typically don’t get unless you’re spending an additional $100-200 per night Be sure to walk to the town square in Rockville where you’ll find families with kids playing in the water park when the weather is warm Great hotel for families

Anonymous

The staff is very unfriendly we said hello and attempted to be friendly after making 8 hour trip with a baby But, They did not say hello or welcomed to the hotel

“keys, wifi, elevator to the left” is all they said we asked for a change to do laundry, and the staff refused There was no coffee in the morning, and 2 staff were talking to each other while guests were waiting for coffee Location and building are fine, but service is terrible

Mike Larrick

OK but quite expensive for the quality Rooms are clean and large, but not a lot to write home about No bath, only basic cable

They will charge you $20 for parking, which seems scammy They tell you they’ll validate parking but don’t mention they’ll charge you for it For a hotel on the outskirts of beltway suburbia, you’d think they would include that with the room I didn’t take a boat in Also they will send you spam emails and texts to sign up for their club
