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.

I stayed at Holiday Inn Express Elkridge on August 14-15, 2026, and the experience was…read moreunacceptable. The first room (411) had heavy humidity, broken shower and sink fixtures, hair in one of the beds, filthy vents, and a bathroom door so swollen from moisture that it could barely open or close. There was also red or pink discoloration along the bathroom molding that looked like mold. The air felt wet and unhealthy, and freeway noise made it hard to rest. Management moved us to Room 314, but that room also had serious issues: a strong mildew smell, mold spots on the lampshade, a dirty tub, and it wasn't even the room type I reserved. The humidity and air quality problems seemed to affect the entire property. IHG chat support and the night manager were unable to resolve the situation, and at one point we were even taken back to the same unacceptable room we had already rejected. Customer Care said they could only act after checkout. By 7:30 AM, the air quality and noise were so bad that my family decided not to stay the final night. I also had a third night booked using points and cash, but I had to cancel it because the hotel could not provide a clean, safe, or acceptable room. Although the hotel was contacted several times, the General Manager, Kim, refused to contact me to remedy the matter. I was told by the marketing manager, Nita, that Kim would call me back within an hour, but no call ever came. I had to call the 1‑800 IHG number for a fourth time within minutes of speaking to the hotel again, only to find out that after three days Kim finally responded just to deny my refund request. The lack of communication and refusal to address the situation made the experience even worse. This hotel needs major maintenance and mold remediation. Staff were polite, but the conditions were not safe or comfortable. Case number: 10601927613.

Front desk staff are polite, professional and friendly. Lobby easily packed due to small space. The…read morehotel is cashless!! 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.

In town for the Crownsville Renaissance Festival …read more This was a good find. Gorgeous luxury hotel with spectacular, sprawling lobby and tasteful early-model airplane themed rooms. Easy breezy check-in with friendly check-in representative. Our room is fresh, spacious, comfortable. All the usual furnishings plus a bonus little armoire. Everything works. Everything is awesome, even the Bluetooth bathroom mirror. We took this location because it's close to the Crownsville Renaissance Festival, which we are attending straight from checkout. There's good things close by I especially love the hotel's proximity to Wawa (shares a parking lot) which happens to be my fave convenience store.

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.

We arrived close to midnight, and while it's good that the property is locked for safety, we couldn't get in because only room keys worked, and we didn't have ours yet. After just a few minutes, though, we made eye contact with someone working there, who was friendly and welcoming. An intercom system could be useful here, or something of that nature? The hotel room itself was clean and well-appointed. The bed is hard, as it is at this chain, but we still slept well. What's less successful is the pillow situation. It is a room for two people, and there were three pillows. We didn't think many would be working around this time of night, so we didn't call down to bother them. But only three pillows? What's more, they were almost hilariously bad - lumpy, feeling like little more than a sack of cotton balls! Upgrade the pillows, guys!

I recently booked a room at this hotel even though I live in the area. Due to recent events in my…read morepersonal life, I just needed a quiet place to be by myself and have a restful night's sleep. 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.

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.

Sad to say I've become a little bit of a travel snob, and I value having plenty of space to put things away and not live out of the suitcase. This hotel fits the bill with the spacious closet and plenty of hangers and drawer space. Great desk area for busting out the laptop to get some actual work done comfortably. Sleep quality is excellent, and shower pressure is great! Full breakfast included, and wonderful staff. Pantry/shopette in the lobby, and they will loan out anything you might need that the room doesn't already have. My last visit though, I didn't realize the hair dryer and iron have become items I need to request, and not standard in the room.
