I give this hotel 3.5 stars but rounded it up to 4. I recently stayed at this Hampton Inn & Suites…read moreduring a recent visit to Maryland. I booked the room through Expedia. When I arrived, check in was a breeze. The room was pretty clean and comfortable, considering my one-night stay. My only real complaint is that the shower door in the bathroom could use replacing....maybe even the whole shower altogether. The shower door was difficult to open and close, so much so that I showered with the shower door open. I was afraid it would be difficult to open again, especially from inside the shower. Other than the shower fiasco, I had a pretty good experience.

The beds felt like boards and the thermostat wouldn't go under 73, so it was pretty warm. The shower had a drip, but no big deal. However, the shower water was either freezing cold or boiling hot. I reported it through text, but did not get a response. Since it was a short stay, I didn't press the issue. Hopefully they will fix it for the next guest. I loved that it was close to everywhere I was going, but I doubt I would stay at this location again though.

We had to sleep that night smelling chemicals. I stayed here for one night and I wished that I didn't stay here at all. No one even ATTEMPTED to clean the bathroom. Flies everywhere, stain on the blankets and a lamp wasn't working--maybe I had to plug it in myself, but why should I do that as a guest when it should be ready when I walk in? Location is convenient, activities and the town center is very close and price is great. However, convenience should not equal laziness. Would not and will not recommend nor come back to this place.

I was extremely disappointed with my recent stay. Upon entering the room, I discovered roaches…read moreinside. This made the room feel unsanitary and uninhabitable. I was unable to comfortably use the shower or fully occupy the space I paid for due to the pest issue. I reported the problem immediately, but the situation was not handled with urgency. An employee named Joey was dismissive and unprofessional when addressing my concerns. I also requested the name of the General Manager for documentation purposes and was told it could not be provided, which I found concerning. My refund request was later refused despite the clear sanitation issue. Travelers should be aware of the cleanliness standards and how complaints are handled before booking here. I will be reporting this hotel and I encourage anyone who has stayed here to do the same!!

I had a long hiatus of reviews due to a # of factors. One factor was the apartment fire on 8/5…read more The next several reviews I plan on writing center around the Fire era from early August to early September. This caused a change in course of events from August-October. On the evening of Sunday, 8/6, we were told to plan for 2 nights in a hotel, and that the apartment would reimburse for up to $200/night. I decided to stay close to my office. So, I chose the Homewood Suites in Columbia convenient off 95 and MD-175. The hotel was very nice; I had a beautiful suite with two separate rooms facing the tennis court. On Monday, 8/7 I had a very easy commute to my office in Halethorpe. I had work travel to Largo that afternoon, but it still wasn't too horrible getting back to Columbia. That night I went to Old Navy/Target in Columbia to get a 2nd set of clothes for Tuesday (since I wasn't driving to VA [where I was living] to get that) and had Mission BBQ for dinner, which I plan on writing a review for. Unfortunately, the weather on that Monday was rainy & cool. So, it was bad timing to take advantage of the pool although as I recall I didn't think to take a swimsuit. The other thing I was not aware of was that there is a free happy hour on Monday-Thursday 5-7 PM at all Homewood Suites. Sometimes it's just snack foods, and sometimes it's a full meal; so perhaps, I could've gotten that instead of Mission BBQ. Tuesday morning, 8/8 I checked out of the hotel, but the story with this hotel doesn't end there. That afternoon I had work travel to DC & Arlington. Arlington work had put me close to home in Arlington near Bailey's Crossroads. I was ready to get my life back on track, but the electricity was still out. I asked the apartment manager, and she said to plan for one more night at a hotel. I was slightly annoyed, but I went with this Homewood Suites again. I hung out in Bailey's Crossroads to let the traffic die down some before I made my trek back closer to my office. Therefore, I missed the happy hour again (It runs 5-7 PM) as I arrived at about 8 PM. This time the room I got was a different style and while big was technically a lower tier room than the one I had, which was a disappointment, and it was about the same price since weekday rates are higher. It was still a nice room, but the bed was queen instead of king. The shower wasn't as fancy, not two rooms, etc. Since I had gone home that afternoon, I was able to pick up a swimsuit. I was able to take advantage of the pool, but the water was very chilly. It wasn't really good pool weather as temperatures were below average for August. The temp at 8:30 was only 69 F. I did enjoy the hot tub though. It got a little crowded with a couple of kids who splashed a bit in the hot tub, but the parents were keeping them under control. I met a guy in there (would've been better if I had met a girl), but I'll take whatever company I could get. He was in town for work for 2 weeks and from my hometown, Phoenix, along with several other people. So, we had more to talk about. I went back to the room, which faced the pool, which seemed nice at first. That same group from Phoenix was drinking & making a lot of noise, which was a little annoying, but they eventually settled by the time I was ready for bed. Wednesday morning, I checked out of the room. Unfortunately, I found out from the apartment to plan for hotel stay until Friday, 8/11. However, the rates were going up beyond the $200/night limit. So, I went with a different hotel.

I travel for work on a fairly regular basis. And when I do, my preference is usually to stay at a…read moreMarriott-owned hotel, mostly because I can almost always count on my following top-four priorities being met: * Cleanliness: The rooms and common areas are almost always very clean. * Safety: Entry into the rooms is almost always via an indoor hallway, where entry is obtained through the front lobby or by key-card access into one of the main hallways. * Quietness: Whether I'm traveling for work or for pleasure, I like to feel well-rested for a better day afterwards. And, these hotels are usually pretty quiet. * Free perks: As an elite member of this hotel chain, most of the time I get free perks during every stay. These are usually simple (like free bottled water), but they're appreciated. I also like to earn free stays for the future (for pleasure) by coming here on business. Within the Marriott chain of hotels, SpringHill Suites is one of my favorites because the rooms most often have: * A comfortable living and work space * A good sized TV * A mini refrigerator * A microwave * A well supplied free continental breakfast * All-day free coffee available in the lobby Now, on to the details for this specific hotel. This hotel, at the SpringHill Suites (Columbia, Maryland), was very nice during my entire stay. It met all my needs, with only two minor annoyances. These included: * All exterior doors to this hotel were non-functional for entry with a key-card during my entire time here. In other words, one could not enter from either side door or from the back; one could ONLY enter through the lobby. I'm not sure why the other doors were not working. * Unlike other SpringHill Suites locations I have stayed at, this particular hotel removes their free coffee from the lobby sometime after breakfast hours are over. This is annoying for guests (like myself) who like to have coffee in the afternoon or evening. In addition to the nice things I expect from all SpringHill Suites locations, the most pleasant part of my stay at this hotel was interacting with the staff here, especially Ahmed. He was incredibly friendly and professional, and I enjoyed chatting with him. He's definitely a five-star employee for this business! So, in summary, aside from two minor annoyances, I had a flawless experience here at this SpringHill Suites hotel. If this business corrects these two things, this location will be worthy of a five-star rating, in my opinion.

What they advertised as free continental breakfast was a joke and consisted of coffee and one single lone honey bun in a jar. There were 2 very small tables and a very dirty window looking out at the highway. We asked a housekeeping staff member who walked into the room if there was anything else to offer and she just smiled and walked away. The positive was a microwave and fridge in the room and fairly efficient electronic communication regarding our stay.

I had my flight re-scheduled and accidentally booked a room there(due to my gps being wacky) and didn't realize I did it until I was trying to check in a at the red roof miles away. Upon realizing this I talked with a receptionist explaining the situation which I was told to have Priceline call them and they will accept my refund. Priceline talks with the same receptionist that evening the worker stated that they didn't have permission to do it then and to call back the next day at 10 am and the manager "Sony" would gladly issue me the refund. The next day I call Priceline and ask did the refund from quality inn go through and then was told the manager said they didn't do refunds after the next day(which pissed me off because I been lied to basically the night prior). Then I was questioned "was the person I talked to a man or women?"(which shouldn't matter if you knew who worked the night shift as a manager) because I couldn't remember the receptionist name. Then asked what time I called I checked my exact time on the call log but that wasn't enough. Then the manager "Sony" relayed the message he would question the employee who worked that shift and i put another ticket in with Priceline for 10 am the following day. Today I had Priceline follow up and the excuse to why I couldn't be refunded was said that I told the manager and receptionist two different reasons on canceling when I haven't spoken with the manager directly at all. I was told by Priceline to call up there and speak with the manager when I went to call they ask my name and all of a sudden the manager "Sony" had suddenly just left for the day and to try and call the same time tomorrow. I'm struggling on bills and more and to be robbed by this janky rubbish of a hotel is just plain wrong and demeaning. The manager "Sony" is obviously so desperate for some guest to stay at this pitiful hotel he steals people hard earned money and obviously he hires liars to work for him. I advise people to stay far away from this trash place if they want to get treated like a decent human being.
