This is a nice hotel to stay at. We were not effected during their renovation project. A<BR/>free breakfast would have been nice, but the Starbucks bistro was handy.

Positives: It was clean and conveniently located near our son.

Negatives: It wasn't always convenient to wait until 5:00 for the pool to open.

Excellent hotel for the price, large room , clean, desk, good lighting and comfortable bed and chair.

Positives: Friendly, free parking, helpful staff, nice amenities i.e. print boarding pass.

Negatives: The far end of Silver Spring , you need a car not in walking distance to restaurants or shops.

Upon check in the front desk was very friendly, but at check out the front desk person was not so friendly. Our room smelled like feet! had to light candles, buy febreeze and keep the sliding glass door cracked. I found left over pony tail holders in the drawer from the previous guest, and trash (sales tags off clothes under the bed and under the trash can).
Housekeeping rushed in uninvited both days of our stay. Even when the sign was on &quot;do not disturb&quot; the second time I was in the shower and housekeeping just came in! Catching me in the shower (and yes, the sign was on the door to not disturb) housekeeping did not speak English, or at least she acted as if she didn't understand what I said to her.

Positives: Balcony was nice added feature.

Negatives: Room was dusty, musty smelling and dirty.

Courtyard Silver Spring North is a moderately priced, clean place. I had a couple days to spend in D.C. and this hotel met my needs. It has no fridge or microwave in the room, so be prepared to eat out every meal. I didn't use the pool, but did look at it and it seemed clean. The staff was friendly and helpful.

Positives: Clean room and common areas, friendly staff, and good parking.

Negatives: No complimentary breakfast, no fridge or microwave in room.

Very pleasant and friendly. Room was nicely decorated with a good layout. Parking was very convenient and free. Hotel staff was helpful and courteous. We would be very happy to stay at the North Silver Spring Marriott again.

Positives: Relaxing accommodation near restaurants and stores.

Negatives: Suburban location, not in the heart of DC.

Reviewer: Not provided on Thu 08 Apr 2010 rated 9 out of 10.

Accommodation and breakfast were reasonable. When the toilet overflowed, the cleanup was less than acceptable as no disinfectant was used on the tile floor. Luckily, the water overflow was clear. Regardless, we all used the toilet from the second room for the duration.

Positives: The price was very reasonable for the amenities.

Negatives: The toilet overflowed. The staff who cleaned it and opened it up did not disinfect the area.

Prefer Marriott in Bethesda instead, people were not friendly, threat of loosing your Navigaaation and break-ins for the car. too far out of the way from the beltway were I had to travel to thed Job 40 miles fro silver spring to campsprings.

Positives: Size of the room.

Negatives: Did not liked the king bed room, asked to be moved to double and desk person was mean, hung up on me!

Reviewer: Not provided on Tue 18 Aug 2009 rated 7 out of 10.

I believe the staff of the hotel should have stopped the late night partying in the hallways.

Positives: Location.

Negatives: Too many drunks hanging out outside our room.

Reviewer: Not provided on Thu 14 May 2009 rated 8 out of 10.

This hotel is very pleasant for the leisure traveler. Some rooms have a patio or balcony over looking the courtyard. The beds are comfortable, and the pool is covered. For people that need to do a little work, there is an excellent desk area with ample space, lamps, and plugs for electronics.

Positives: The staff promptly handled my requests with courtesy.

Negatives: There was nothing that I encountered.

Reviewer: Not provided on Wed 25 Feb 2009 rated 8 out of 10.

If it were not for the dirty glass, I would have no complaints. I would suggest a complimentary breakfast for guests who stay for more than one night or a small refrigerator in the room.

Positives: Safe, clean environment and friendly staff.

Negatives: The glasses had not been washed. There was lip stick stains on one.

Reviewer: Not provided on Wed 31 Dec 2008 rated 8 out of 10.

The hotel staff was very friendly.

Negatives: The room was much smaller than expected.

Reviewer: Not provided on Thu 28 Aug 2008 rated 9 out of 10.

Our stay was very comfortable-e were able to check in early and the staff was very helpful in giving directions to the Metro as well as getting us a refrigerator. The room was very nice and clean and they made it easy to check out. Everything was easy to find and I was even able to check my email quickly in the morning.

Positives: I really liked the decor of the room-it was very tasteful.

Negatives: The only thing I did not like was the lack of continental breakfast, but that was probably typical of a 2.5 star hotel.

Reviewer: Not provided on Tue 26 Aug 2008 rated 9 out of 10.

Good place to stay if visiting the Washington/Baltimore area. Centrally located to both and a 10 minute drive to the nearest train station.

Positives: Free internet access usage.

Negatives: No microwave.

Reviewer: Not provided on Mon 09 Jun 2008 rated 8 out of 10.

The rooms are spacious for two and a good size for four. Computers are easily accessible. Breakfast being extra seemed odd in this time when most hotels include a continental breakfast with the room.

Positives: Nice room and the staff was very helpful.

Negatives: Breakfast was not included.

Reviewer: Not provided on Thu 15 May 2008 rated 8 out of 10.

Good location and neighborhood and just minutes from the Silver Spring metro. This would be a great hotel for business in the DC area.

Positives: Only about ten minutes from the Silver Spring Metro station.

Negatives: Ice machine was broken on the 2nd floor.

Reviewer: Not provided on Fri 09 May 2008 rated 7 out of 10.

This hotel is not a easy location to get to. When I came back on the second day, they left dirty diapers on the floor, used water in the ice bucket and the tub had not been clean. Not a good sign from a Marriott hotel.

Positives: It was a Courtyard.

Negatives: The room on the second day was not cleaned right.

Reviewer: Not provided on Mon 14 Apr 2008 rated 9 out of 10.

Negatives: Location of restaurants.

Reviewer: Not provided on Thu 20 Mar 2008 rated 8 out of 10.

A little inconvenient with machinery noise next door at 3:00 in the morning because of flooding from the bath room. I learned it from the front desk because the worker did not say anything, just keeps on working.

Positives: Convenient to the location of business.

Negatives: Nice & secluded in a way.

Positives: The room and room features were fantastic.

Negatives: Expensive breakfast buffet.

Reviewer: Not provided on Wed 19 Dec 2007 rated 10 out of 10.

Very nice, well appointed hotel with friendly staff. Breakfast available at small charge; however, no other restaurant available on site. Closest restaurant about 1/2 mile away. Not reasonable walking distance for bad weather or seniors.

Positives: Large, well appointed room; indoor pool & whirlpool.

Negatives: No on site restaurant; no restaurants close by in event of bad weather.

Reviewer: Not provided on Thu 25 Oct 2007 rated 8 out of 10.

Unlimited internet in the room and in the business center. Nice size room for the business traveler. Quick check in and easy access to rooms from parking lot for no nonsense entry and exit. Convenient to many Montgomery county Maryland locations and the beltway.

Positives: Convenient to both college park and Bethesda, both places where I had to visit.

Negatives: Cold, barren.
