Even though I was very close to home, I knew I was going to be taking a break from home. After all the travel for the week, I wanted to be able to just relax and decompress. I had selected this hotel in advance and knew this was where I was going to be laying my head. When I told my colleagues where I was staying, they were a bit worried, thinking it wasn't a great place to stay. Plus, you can tell that this was another chain hotel before switching over to a Hilton branded hotel. But I am happy to report that this place surpassed my expectations. Checking in was extremely easy here. Being a Hilton hotel I used the app to check in ahead of time. If you do this, you can request a digital key, time of check in, and bypass the front desk altogether. I love this option and it allows me to move at my own pace. And, on the backend of it all, checking out is simple as well. Walking in here I was a bit lost at first. Attempting to find which corridor I needed to go down to get to my room. After going back and forth, I found the correct corridor. This happened as the front desk came out and checked on me. While in the lobby area, I was a bit worried. They had a police officer posted right there, it gave me pause that something has happened here in the past and this is why the police officer was sitting right near the entrance. Honestly, in the end, it didn't matter to me, I was just spending the night and would be on my way. Made my way down the corridor and I happened to have one of the rooms at the end and on a corner. When I opened the door, with the app, I thought I was being pranked as when I opened the door, it felt like I was looking at another hallway. But, being in a corner room, this made sense. Small walk down this hallway and the whole room came into view. Honestly, this room was perfect when it came to the noise level. If something was going on in the hallway, I did not hear a damn thing. I felt isolated and I did feel relaxed. With the rebrand came a remodel. They did a good job at this in my opinion. The colors were vibrant in the bathroom, relaxing in the living space. I had more than enough space in this room. King size bed, couch, desk, etc. This is the best room I have had in a while. I was able to sleep well and felt very comfortable. The only downside was being ground level, even with the blinds closed, you can still sometimes see car lights coming through the window. But, with the sized of the room, it didn't really affect much in the room. Then, like I said, check out was really simple. Did it on the app and walked out one of the side doors out to my vehicle. read more

If it wasn't for my company booking this hotel, I would not be there. No exercise room no elevator no class.

The cleanliness. The smell of marijuana in the hallway. The breakfast was horrible. There were cold boiled eggs. No meats for breakfast. We went out on Saturday when we returned saw a slug crawling on the floor of our room. This hotel is not up to Hilton standards!!! read more

The hotel seems to be on the low end of Hilton. I expected more for breakfast based on staying at Hampton Inn, Home 2, and Hilton. Only had Bagels, cereal, and fruit, apple and orange juice. No meats at all. The room was fairly up to date but the floor needed to be mopped. It had stains on the bedroom and bathroom floor. Staff was nice no issues there. Property was well kept with a police office working in the lobby. The bed was comfortable and slept well. So for me, it didn't give the Hilton level of all around excitement, but was affordable and safe. read more

The staff is beyond helpful and knowledgeable. Spark on the other hand is trying to control my likes. They have taken all coffee pots out of the rooms because they want me to socialize ???? They have 24 hour accessible coffee??? I don't come to a socialize, I come to shower, sleep, and have hot coffee in MY room. Not around strangers. Also, they are looking at taking the microwave out as well?? Guess they don't want business or introverts people at their locations. I won't stay here again. read more

Only because there is no zero. Disgusting.... I can't believe I spent the night here. Mouse traps everywhere. Black mold all over the place. We actually left to stay somewhere else because my wife was getting sick. I'm bringing the key back in the morning because the night front desk lady doesn't like white people. She's really nasty to us. I'm sure no one cares. Oh yeah, they let a homeless man sleep under the stair case. read more

This hotel has good rates and the GM/staff are very attentive to your needs. The maintenance staff are always cleaning and minor paint/repairs to keep the hotel in top shape. I do work in southern Maryland often and will stay here again. There is a small breakfast nook with a continental type breakfast available each morning for free. There are also some vending machines available for late night snacks and they are kept well stocked. There are laundry facilities onsite for a nominal 1.50 for wash or dry. The area surrounding the hotel is loaded with every type of business you can think of as well as a mall within 5 miles either direction. If you have a concern, air it with the GM, I promise you will get a positive response. She cares, she really does, but don't leave quietly and unhappy. She does want to know. I did and she fixed it. read more

This is the worst hotel I have stayed at in a long time and I would never come back and I would not recommend anyone I know to stay here. The pictures shown are straight out lies and they should be ashamed. If it wasn't so late and I had my dog I would have went else where. read more

I have updated this review to 4 stars thanks to Imani, the manager personally reaching out to apologize for this employee's actions and compensating my wyndam rewards account. She was extremely apologetic, professional, and took complete ownership of the situation. I am active duty military and moving across the country with 2 cats. I made a reservation with this hotel over a month in advance through booking.com. Their website says check in time is from 3 PM to midnight. I called at around 9 PM, about 2 hours out from my ETA to touch base and let them know we were going to be in around 11 and they tell me that they gave my booking up because I didnt arrive at 6 PM. They stated they cant hold rooms for longer than 6 PM. What the heck? I've never heard of this being done anywhere and no where on Booking.com, their website, or their policies did it state that there is a 3 hour window from 3 to 6 PM to check in. This is not how you treat customers, especially those who have done their diligence and made reservations. I will not be giving La Quinta anymore of my business, and I encourage that you don't either. read more

Stayed in the two full bed ADA room with microwave and fridge. It didn't have a grab bar by the toilet. The walk in shower has a small step (about half an inch) to get in and has a shower bench attached to the wall. The room's entrance has fake wood flooding and the rest of the room has retro yellow carpet. The carpet has a square that is being cut from it. Weird wifi setup/sign-in page. After clicking a few pages of these questions, the free wifi works. I've never seen this before. It was full for the second half of the week, probably because it is relatively close to DC. But there was lot of traffic getting to/from DC. read more

The Channel 70 Video Productions crew bedded down here for one night. The good. Affordable, excellent staff, close-in parking, new TV, nice breakfast area, quiet and clean rooms, great shower flow, fluffy towels, perfect HVAC, well stocked vending area with reasonable prices. Not so good. Needs a light renewing as some shabbiness (wallpaper, wood trim, bathtubs, countertops), major fail - free internet access requires submitting to spam-laden login process, 2.1 mbps at 7pm, no HD channels, no meat served at breakfast, artificial/institutional odor in lobby and hallways, phony 'green' claim for not changing sheets - it's, more profit in hotel's pocket. On balance, we'll probably return. read more

I stay with ya all the time all around the country, but this is the first time here. Lets say that you lose a star because you really need to remodel. however all the other stars are for your staff, who were over the top in every single way. We were a group of 12, and had many rooms. breakfast was okay, but when you remodel you might want to get on board with the new breakfasts that are served everywhere else. other than that, AGAIN can I say how great your staff is? read more

I really want to rate this place a 2.5 but unfortunately that is not an option. First, lets start with the positives. All of the staff that I've met so far have been super helpful although scarce at times. (Sometimes its hard to locate the front desk personnel). The rooms seem well maintained except for a few oddities I found. Some stains on the bed sheets and a poorly constructed outlet for the microwave and fridge. It seems like it was installed backwards making it impossible to use the microwave and the fridge at the same time. Talk about strange! read more

For price, not awful. However would not leave my wife or kids if I had them here without being here myself. Security seems poor.

We really enjoyed our stay here as refugees evacuating from Hurricane Florence. The manager of this establishment is incredible. She understood our situation and was more than accommodating to our needs. I just wish I could say the same about the regular booking staff there. While the hallways are quite cramped and the ceilings very low, the hotel rooms are excellent for the price. We booked two separate rooms for my wife and I along with my mother in law and pets. Each room was very clean and tidy. The rooms contained everything you could want for an extended hotel stay including a 42 inch TV, medium sized desk, refrigerator, and bathroom with various towels and soaps. The main lobby offers a lounge area complete with a TV, computer stations, free coffee and ice water. They also offer free continental breakfast from 6AM - 9AM. The only issue we ran into was when first checking in we were told our stay was only for 2 nights, contrary to what I had previously discussed with the manager about our stay being tentative due to the hurricane which I was told was fine and they were able to accommodate for through the weekend. I tried to explain this to the employee and she seemed unsympathetic to our situation and was very firm in stating that "they were completely booked through the weekend" and we can possible stay an extra day if we are lucky. This added an unbelievable amount of stress to an already stressful situation due to what appeared to be a lack of communication or organization. Luckily, the next day we were able to speak with the manager who ensured us that we could stay as long as needed. Booking issues aside, we had a great stay at La Quinta and the manager was able to greatly reduce the stress of hurricane evacuation for us. read more

This place is disgusting. Roach infested, trashy, dirty, questionable people hanging around. NEVER AGAIN. Management obviously know what's going on because she was very nice about refunding us except for the pet fee which is the only reason we booked this hotel. Our microwave didn't work and when we asked for a maintenance man to come up the front desk girl appeared. Not sure if they have maintenance either.. I wish I read the reviews before going there...don't waste your money!! read more

We came to the area for a football game. This place had real reasonable rates and we'd been happy at La Quinta's before so I booked for two nights. The lobby is fine and service was decent. Work is being done on the second floor which may explain the price. There's a breakfast which includes boiled eggs and the usual light breakfast. The room is decent, certainly not fancy; the bathroom is tight but serviceable. I have a real gripe about the internet. Not that it gets dragged down; I haven't experienced that. But to get on I have to jump through hoops; answer questions so they can present me an ad. This is the first time I've experienced that and I don't like it. It's time consuming and I'd rather pay extra than jump through hoops. Our last morning there the wi-fi was down for some time. I doubt that I'll come back here; not sure I'd stay at La Quinta if I did. read more

Real thought I wasn't going to enjoy my stay here but over all We really have. The hotel basically has catered to the families and friends of the bride & groom and we are glad to see a great staff. Fresh breakfast fresh linen and quite halls throughout the stay. I mean I really wanted a more expensive. Hotel but the outcome was great. If one looks to complain and not see the brighter side the it's a view never obtained by them. So look to the brighter side Stay at Laquinta. @rydellv read more

Wow. Where do I start? The door separating our rooms in the suite was broken and didn't close. The door to the bathroom was also broken and didn't close. The beds were uncomfortable. The faucet to the jacuzzi tub in the room spun freely as if it was broken. The dimmer light switch was missing it's control knob, some light bulbs were out. The tub and shower were dirty with rust stains and the toilet was also dirty. Oh and can't forget the best part, there was a blunt on the floor of the lobby my children had to step over when we were leaving. I will never be caught dead in a La Quinta for the rest of my life and neither will anyone in my family. read more

The good- Reasonable rates. Clean rooms but dated building. They allow pets. Friendly and helpful staff. The bad Some guy walked into the breakfast area barefoot and half dressed but no one said anything. Another person looked like they were homeless and wandered in through the front door into the breakfast area. The end of the hotel I was in was near the road and there is a traffic light so you can feel the vibration, thumping, and vulgar lyrics of the jungle music from the cars right outside your window. read more

This is one of the most ill kept hotels I have ever been. I travel a lot for my job, and because of an event had to switch it up from my usual hotel and will never make the mistake again. From the staff, to the room, this hotel is a complete disaster. There are many other options in the area and I strongly advise you do not stay here. read more

Decent place, but not for the price. If you're looking for a simple stop on a long trip, acceptable. If you're looking for a hotel that's anyway decent all around, not really the place. The entire hallway smelled like weed and cigarettes, but at least the room didn't. I figured the weed smell wasn't permanent, but from passing by rooms where people had it, but the cigarette smell wasn't avoidable whatsoever. It's a decent hotel if you're not looking for much but to spend a single night in, but I wouldn't recommend 2 or more. Wifi cuts in and out bi-hourly, front desk doesn't seem to have as much respect as they should, breakfast is free but extremely mediocre, rooms have cracked walls and 480p TVs. Beds appeared nice but I can't help but think they weren't clean, based on the smell of the hallway and the hairs found on the floor in the bathroom. Not terrible, but not worth it unless you're really just looking for a quick place to sleep. read more

I don't like giving bad reviews, but I also don't want anyone else stepping into traps I experience. I will do my best to not stay here again unless there are radical improvements. First one being that a NO SMOKING policy be established throughout the entire building. (Sorry if you smoke, but CANCER sucks.) When we checked in the desk person assumed we wanted smoking rooms, although that may be due to booking it through Hotels.com. The front desk people were very nice and friendly. That's the best thing about this place. However... We were directed to go up the steps to get to our room. I have no issue with steps, but when you're carrying luggage, it's annoying. There is no elevator in the building so if you have trouble with steps and still have to stay here, I suggest making sure they have a first floor room for you. As we climbed the steps we were greeted with the scent of marijuana. I think medical marijuana is legal now in Maryland, so maybe someone at the top of the steps had glaucoma. The room... Although it was made VERY clear that we needed a NON SMOKING ROOM... It REEKED of stale cigarette smoke and the room was possibly doubling as a hot house. After a few hours the tired air conditioner got the temperature down to something habitable. The bathroom was, for the most part, clean. I'm not sure if it was a pattern in the shower wall or if there had been a homicide that was about 95% cleaned up, but I wasn't fond of its appearance. The toilet was okay as long as you didn't need to flush it. The TOWELS were actually nice. Nice sized too. I'm 6'7" and they covered me well. The bed wasn't horrible. The sheets .... They could use replacing. In the morning... The breakfast "room".... More like a closet they converted over to stock some cereal. This place is bare bones. If you're on a budget and don't mind the smell of smoke... You'll be fine here. If not... There's a Country Inn RIGHT NEXT DOOR, that is VERY nice. Being in a band... You get the cheapest rooms you can and next time, we will forgo that when staying in this area. Safe travels to you and yours. read more

There is no elevator. My room smells like pot and there are stains on the floor (some crusty white stuff). The TV doesn't work. The walls are bare and dirty. I arrived at night and the front desk could care less about their job. A convinent location but real cheap. You get what you pay for. read more

Using Hotwire's random hotel matching, we stayed 2 nights in the hotel for 63-65ish per night. And it was much better than expected for a 2.5 hotel. Beds were good. Rooms were of the same size as any other. Breakfast was good. Only backside was being told by the concierge that there was no trash bins in the hotel. Thankfully we looked by the laundry machines and found one! Something to note is that there's no elevator. So get ready to carry your luggage upstairs read more

Don't EVER stay at this hotel. My boyfriend and I were trying to check in at this place and the obstinate woman behind the counter was refusing to honor our reservation because his dad reserved it for us and she was insistent that we had to pay in cash before staying or she wasn't going to hold our room. She was so rude and completely ignorant. It took us two hours to make arrangements with his dad to get it all straightened out. The customer service here is the worst. read more

Nice staff, free coffee and tea in lobby. So lack of a coffee pot is a minor annoyance. And my husband was able to tighten the loose arm on the desk chair enough to use it. No smoke detector was a big problem; it got replaced after about 2 hours. read more

This hotel does not have an elevator and it has two levels. We were part of a block of rooms for a cat show and were supposed to be on the first floor, but were placed on the second floor. The woman at the desk was "short staffed" and helped us bring the luggage and cats to the room upon arrival at 2am. This was very disconcerting to us, as we had to request aid to lug animals back and forth up and downstairs each day of the cat show, especially since my friend has back and breathing issues. This was not your typical La Quinta, but a hotel that was bought by the company. We will not be going back. read more

Spent 2 nights this past weekend as a lodging location for the Dental Mission of Mercy. A/C was not working on the 2nd floor hallway and was marginal in the room. Rugs were stained and needing replacement. Shower was stained - not sure how the marble finish gets stained. Heavy "dust bunnies" along the baseboards (noted when I accidently dropped my earring by the bedstand). Safe was locked and not able to be used. Will not return. read more
