Overall, not bad for one night stay…read more The good: - Bed was fairly comfortable - Room was spacious - Front desk was courteous - Check in was very easy - Room was quiet - close to airport and cruise terminal The not-so-good: - The TV remote didn't work. I had to visit the front desk 3 times before getting one the worked with our room TV. - The TV itself was hard to figure out. - Bathroom floor was dangerously slippery when wet. - Breakfast was just ok. Nothing to brag about. - Shower was dark (low lighting in bathroom) Overall, if I need a quick overnight stay I'd stay here again. No frills, but comfortable.

Which is great for most, if you still like using cash for small purchases you should be aware. Parking lot wraps around the hotel and lights were off in the lot when we arrived at night and before sunrise so we were thankful for the thaw. Prices vary dramatically depending on whether you stay in regular or wellness rooms. I wonder if the wellness rooms are cleaner and more comfortable aside from the hypoallergenic treatment and an air filter. If you prepay for the breakfast and have an early day then you might want to reconsider. The breakfast starts at 0630. Rooms are not sound proof so be prepared to hear the noisy guests transiting the hallways and loud cars.

A friend was in from out of town, I was in charge of booking their room. During my research, I came across this hotel which stated it has recently been renovated. Decent price, $154 for King. A $50 hold is on your card for incidentals until check out. Pretty, modern lobby. Clean! Clean, modern room. The bed was the best part! My friend said they couldn't get out of bed the next day, due to how great they slept. Location is meh. You can see the hotel off the highway, quite a few turns to get there. No fault of the hotel. Pool and workout room are the amenities. Breakfast is included, eggs, pancakes, french toast, cereal, coffee, etc. Not a bad deal at all.

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.

The bad: Constantly under construction with wires hanging from the ceiling. Front desk was not friendly or helpful. I had electrical outlet screws scattered across my room, 9 in total. Unfortunately, I stepped on 5 of them barefooted before I found them all. I took them to the front desk, and all she could say was, "That's weird " I asked for a water bottle fill station and she said it's in the gym. There wasn't a fill station. I told her and she said, "I guess it's not in yet" How about you learn a little about the place where you work! The shampoo bottle had been opened and the dish soap was empty. After housekeeping came, I had to ask for more soap. I inquired about checkout and if my receipt would be emailed. They said yes and 3 days later I had to call and ask for the receipt. That was an ordeal in itself. Nobody would answer the phone so I had to call the new reservation line. They keep trying to get me to buy promotional vacations and said I have to call the non reservation line. What a joke. I recommend staying somewhere else, even if you have to pay more. Not worth the aggravation. The place feels a little dirty and unkept. I will not stay here again.

NOTE: This hotel sits right next to Route 95 in the Jessup/Elkridge area. But to actually get here, you will be going through a residential area with several turns in both directions. Listen to your GPS, they will guide you here! My reservation was made for a King Suite Accessible room as I need the provided bars in the bathroom and shower for assistance and safety. The bathroom had a low entry tub and along with the installed bars, it worked for me. The room was comfortable and clean. And huge! Upon walking in, there is a living room sort of area with sofa, coffee table, desk/chair and TV. Then you walk into the area where the bathroom/tub is on one side and a sink vanity on the other side. Through another door is the bedroom area which also has a TV and padded bench for luggage or seating. There is also a closet in this room with a full length door mirror. I was on the second floor, there is an ice machine room next to the elevators, you need your room key card for entry. Shower pressure was great, water was hot enough. I slept very well. Breakfast offerings were the standard fare of various cereals, yogurt, two waffle machines and sausage and those hotel eggs. Also, bread and bagels for toasting and some packaged mini muffins. There is an indoor pool and exercise room but I did not have time to check those amenities out. DISCLAIMER: No, this is not a five-star or even a four-star hotel. But for the price, location and the fact that it met my needs, I have rated as I have.

Out of season holiday decor, stuffed animals and character decor are out of place in this historic home. The listing photos and website are quite outdated and don't show the current state. With some additional help and TLC, this place could be wonderful again.
