Holiday Inn

Reviewer: Not provided on Fri 12 Nov 2010 rated 5 out of 10.

The staff does care and that's a plus. However, if you're like me, I have a thing about Holiday Inn hotels and this did not change my mind. There were a lot of important internal things that seriously attention, like the cleanliness of rooms, (bed, bath). The breakfast was terrible! The buffet in particular, it was messy and the food that should have been hot was cold, the milk and such was not. And although the staff was pleasant, it did not make up for the overall experience. Be mindful of what's important to you when you go here!

Positives: Kindness of staff.

Negatives: Lack of attention to detail.

Negatives: Room in south tower is very uncomfortable.

Hotel had a pleasant atmosphere. Make sure you request the type of bed preference. I was not asked and didn't think to mention it. We ended up with a full size bed. My partner is a large man and it was rough sleeping.

Positives: Convenient

Negatives: I'm confused on my hotel bill.

Excellent for the price. Extremely clean and spacious rooms. Several cable channels compared to many hotels. Good location. Overall great hotel!

Positives: Still provides Ethernet lines for those without wireless laptops.

Negatives: Would like assistance with luggage when checking in and out. Air conditioning did not get quite cool enough.

The hotel is adequate. Rooms and surrounding areas clean. Employees seemed pleasant and helpful. Negatives were construction going on 9-5 weekdays, coffee maker needed to be cleaned with vinegar as the tea I tried to make had a bad taste and beds were ok but not as comfortable as a 3.5 to 4star.

Positives: Apples at the front desk.

Negatives: Construction going on at the time.

This is an old hotel. The exterior is being renovated but not the rooms. The rooms smelled musty. The hardware in the bathrooms was rusted and not secured to wall.

Positives: The staff.

Negatives: The rooms - common areas and location.

Reviewer: Not provided on Tue 29 Apr 2008 rated 7 out of 10.

Lots of construction, loud, dusty a bit farther from the area of interest for this trip and was not able to narrow location during search.

Positives: NA.

Negatives: Location.

Nice hotel with a good location. The staff was very nice and the pool area looked tropical. The only drawback was that my room smelled like smoke. I should have asked for a different room.

Positives: The pool area was very attractive.

Negatives: The room I was assigned smelled like smoke.

This hotel is right next to a fire station - a very active fire station. There is no way to sleep over the constant sirens. Additionally, the limited amount of plugs was a huge bother. You cannot have your phone charging and coffee warming at the same time. It was old and run down. Never, never again.

Positives: Leaving.

Negatives: My entire stay - never again.

Friendly, courteous staff. Very noisy. I love animals, but having dogs in the hotel with irresponsible owners is unacceptable. Also, loud/noisy talking in the corridor at all times of night. The room, itself, was poor. The bathroom needed updating. This is really a 2 - 2.5 star hotel.

Positives: The staff was very courteous, friendly and available.

Negatives: The room itself was poor. There was old, moldy wallpaper in the bathroom, the room was in the part of the hotel (room 221) which had not been renovated.

I'm referring to my stay at Holiday Inn Gaithersburg, Maryland. This place is a dump.

Positives: This hotel should not have been rated 3 stars.

Negatives: No staff. Waited in line 20 minutes to register, as all staff was in staff meetings, hotel was under construction, dilapidated, threadbare.

Stayed one night on a Saturday. Good location, clean room, nice room amenities, comfortable beds/pillows, convenient in-hotel dining. Some renovation in another part of the hotel but did not interfere with stay. Overall good experience except no receipt upon check-out and unexplained additional charges added after check-out. Matter is being investigated.

Positives: Great location, clean room, nice room amenities, comfortable beds/pillows, convenient in-hotel dining.

Negatives: Did not receive a receipt upon check-out; disputable additional charges deducted after checkout without explanation.

The Holiday Inn in Gaithersburg, Maryland is under renovation; however the work is being done during the day, when most travelers are not in their rooms. My stay was uninterrupted by the ongoing construction. The rooms have been newly remodeled and are well appointed, although a little small. The beds and linens are comfortable. The staff is friendly, with quick check-in and check-out. There is a cafe and an Irish Pub on the premises, although I was unable to enjoy either during my stay. I would recommend the Holiday Inn in Gaithersburg, MD to both business and leisure travelers.

Positives: Newly remodeled rooms.

Negatives: There wasn't really anything that I disliked about the hotel.
