    Excellent quiet time policy
    Dana B.

    Realistically, I would give this property a 2.5 star. We stayed here May 10 for one night, as we were in town for a concert at the Filmore. The check-in experience was 5 stars; friendly, courteous, professional. Our room was on the 6th floor and was a very quiet location. We never heard a peep from others. The bed was very comfortable. The room itself was smaller than what I'm used to for an IHG property, but it's one night. The main issue was that the property is older and in need of some TLC. The curtains had holes in them, and the bathroom was very small and outdated. It took quite a while for the water to get warm/hot in the shower, and the water pressure was non-existent. There was zero bathroom counter to put stuff on, we had to put stuff on the shelves instead. I used the provided Hairdryer, but a minute in, the smell set off the smoke alarm. There was no bathroom exhaust. Also, we kept looking for cups and the ice bucket, we found it shortly before checking out, located next to the bed on the bottom shelf of the bedside nightstand. Before checking out, we decided to hit up the included breakfast. Mostly everything was in stock and seemingly fresh. However, I had grabbed a yogurt from the refrigerator and it must have frozen and then thawed at some point, the texture was off, and inedible. They did have a good variety of options, including eggs, bagels, muffins, toast, biscuits, gravy, cereals, some fruit. Some of the furniture was observed with wear and tear, also there was some food abd crumbs on the floor, even though there was an attendant present. For one night this wasn't a bust, but I wouldn't have wanted to stay longer. I hope this property gets some attention. We walked to and from the Filmore and there are lots of interesting restaurants around.

    I usually like Holiday Inn hotels and they are among my favorites because they're clean, fresh, have good service, and are reasonably priced. But this place was a complete disappointment.( Maybe I just came across a bad manager, I don't know. ) The rooms are very old and worn. Customer service was poor and I do not recommend this hotel, and I will not be returning.

    Please read if you're considering staying here. The elevators are slow and you feel lucky to get out of them -- take the stairs. The rooms are just okay. A tad stuffy. And the color scheme is brown on brown on brown. I had some carpet overlapping, some wallpaper overlapping, and a very gross stain on the bathroom door. The AC unit was small but mighty. This was the hotel's best asset. The shower water pressure wasn't enough to fill up an empty Dixie cup in five minutes. The toilet constantly ran. The sink took a long time to drain, which grossed me out. But what absolutely ruined my stay was that the doors and walls are not insulated. Not at all. I could hear conversations in the hallway from my shower. If you stepped out of the elevators/ stairwell, you could hear people in their rooms from more than halfway across the hall. This was insanely awkward. So this situation went from bad to worse when, for two nights in a row beginning at 11 pm, one or two bus loads of 7/8 graders would be dropped off.. and somehow the majority were staying on my floor ... and they would run, scream, argue, and play through the halls and in their rooms until about 4am. I didn't complain because kids are going to act like kids. The hotel is to blame for the poor quality insulation. The hotel is to blame for not setting the expectation of what behavior they require in order to allow for a field trip to book. And of course, it's down to the chaperones. So from 11pm to 4am, they ran laps, played ball, and screamed completely uninhibited by any authority. And it sucked. It was so bad that I was on speaker phone and the person on the other end could hear the chaos. The hotel is a $30-$80 / 40 minute to 60 minute ride to DC proper. It sucks for sightseeing, and it sucked for a work event I was there for. I spent more of my time traveling to and from the hotel than I was able to sightsee. We originally planned to take the metro (can't speak on the quality), but it's down for maintenance, which the hotel staff wasn't aware of... so do your research and don't rely on the front desk for questions. The cost of the Ubers to and from DC proper also would have made up the difference of what we saved staying here. So please take this into account when you're looking into hotels. DC have the most expensive Ubers I've ever seen - including Paris, Los Angeles, New York, and Munich. It's also not a very immediate place to walk around. There's a small Target a few streets away, but the hotel is between a 7/11 and a car wash, so it wasn't great. A few blocks down and you're in some very nice areas, however. The WiFi is terrible, so working there is difficult to do. And the keys / key pad things are awful. One of my keys took eight tries before it would open my door. Consistently. And one key would work. My coworker had to get a new key from the front desk every day.. I think he did this five times. Please, please take into account the logistics of visiting DC before booking something so far outside downtown. With the additional cost of Ubers, you will end up spending more money and you'll lose tons of sleep with the noise of this place.

    8'2022 Although I'm late as heck w review, I remember this experience like it was yesterday. Unlimited street parking, friendly desk staff (Marcus), cozy breakfast area, clean guest rooms, free breakfast. Great location to walk to restaurants and stores. Cool night life. The building (hotel) itself is a little old and would greatly benefit from a renovation project. Other than that, it was great !!

    Always a very comfortable bed at HIE! And amazing pillows!

    I am a loyal Holiday Inn Express guest. Having stayed at about 20 of them across the country over the past year, I am always impressed by how consistently good they all are in terms of cleanliness, comfort and providing a restful sleep. Breakfast is always great and this location has an excellent staff, which is are very attentive. For this price point, you get a lot of bang for your buck! This HIE is located on Georgia Avenue in Downtown Silver Spring--walking distance to all the activities one might hope to attend such as concerts at the Fillmore or the Silver Spring Blues & Jazz Festivals!

    Would give 2 1/2 stars. My niece is an IGH member and reserved our rooms from June 25-27. We were there attending a funeral. Prior to arrival I called to see if we could get accommodations because I had a disabled person with me. Rachel, who was working the front desk, was clearly agitated when I began asking questions so I just left it alone and asked if we could just remain close to the elevator. Our check in was at 3pm, we arrived at approximately 5pm to get to our room and housekeeping was still cleaning our rooms. Upon removing our luggage from the car my one of my nieces' shoes got caught on a rod sticking out of a parking curb causing her to fall. My sister reported to Dewit at the front desk and he showed no compassion, upon him coming outside to see where she fell he just stated you have to be careful and if you're hurt you can talk to management tomorrow. He did not follow hotel policy and report incident to management or fill out an incident report. Between Rachel and Dewit I can't say who was more unprofessional. Very poor customer service. When I asked Dewit for more towels Sunday evening I was told it was very busy. I would have to wait till morning. My niece's toilet was backed up and she was told she would have to wait until maintenance came in the next morning. Parking is an additional $20 a day and is first come first serve. $15 a day to park in the garage next door. My room was overall clean, my niece's room had stains on the carpet. A lot of homeless people nearby. The manager William and staff that were there on Monday June 26 were very pleasant.

    King suite room.

    If you like the smell of marijuana, you'll really enjoy the tiny rooms in this hotel and the shuttle service.

Gala presenting a fanfare to the African culture with the backdrop of the building's ecofriendly & urban architectural design. In both areas I crossed paths with some of the Hospitality, A/V & Catering teams who were interactively busy & pleasant. GapBuster is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit & minority-founded educational organization dedicated to empowering the community through education benefiting their students/mentees in aiming to close the educational performance gap. The gala featured Keynote Speaker Kojo Yankah, former Member of the Ghana Parliament & founder of the African University College of Communications. Other special guets included Pat Lawson-Muse of NBC News 4, Congressman Jamie Raskin & Montgomery County Council At-Large Candidate Hoan Dang. The notable guest of the evening in which I had the esteemed honor in meeting, was King Peggy (Nana Amuah-Afenyi VI - born Peggielene Bartels), the first woman King & Reigning Chief of Tantum in Ghana. I didn't venture around the entire space, however on my way out I quickly spanned the Betty Mae Kramer Gallery (former First Lady of MoCo) that supports the arts & humanities. The portico to the plaza is a popular space for concerts, famer's market, festivals, live entertainment...I saw light advertisement for the upcoming seasonal ice skating rink & annual Silver Spring Jazz Festival which is held in front of the building. There's a parking garage across the street on Ellsworth Drive if you can't find street parking. I saw many people parking in the Whole Foods parking lot...not suggesting, just to note. From the Silver Spring Metro Rail Station - Red Line, it's a very casual 15 minute walk.

I'm only familiar with Salsa on 1, so I got out of my comfort level and tried on 2. It felt soooooo weird, but I'm glad I tried!! Then they opened the floor for social dancing and it got surprisingly crowded. This is a very safe environment. Security checks your bag. I came solo and felt perfectly fine. Many people were solo, guys and female. So, it's a cool vibe. Of course there were couples and groups of people that came together. But in the dance community, it's fine to go solo. People are respectful and really respect dancing. I will say, this is the sort of environment where people are taking classes and coming here to practice, along with plenty of instructors dancing. So there's a lot of flair and showmanship. I was thinking, am I at Dancing With The Stars or what, lol!! Lot's and lot's of turns and endless turn patterns. Less musicality. That's what makes it not my style so much, but a lot of fun for others. The classes were about 1 hour each, organized, and gave you a taste of the different styles. The instructors told everyone where they teach so you could take more classes. As with anyplace, some leads are fantastic and easy to follow, and other leads are still learning and practicing how to lead, so it can be bumpy dancing with them. Especially if its a first time dancing together. Other leads were really smooth and easy and fun to follow. There's a full bar selling beer, wine, and mixed drinks. If you bring a water bottle, it must be empty and they will fill it with water for you. Or you can purchase bottled water. I had a pretty good time and danced several songs and learned Salsa on 2. So it was a solid experience for me. Highly recommend.

I was so impressed, they had a great turn out and the instructors did a great job teaching the basics, but have classes for all different levels! Definitely will be back to try all their classes.

Also they have a bar also only takes cash and usually provides snacks and drinks.
