Top Howard County Fairgrounds Hotel Reviews

Embassy Suites by Hilton Bethesda Washington DC

8/10 Good

"I generally give this hotel 5-stars and have stayed here several times. Helen in the dining room/bar and Natty at the front desk in particular are great brand “ambassadors”. This last visit I was traveling with my brother and his son…. and my extreme dissatisfaction (and disappointment) is directed only at management/ownership’s decision to close the pool to hotel guests for 9 hours during the day M-F (closed 7-11:00 AM and 2:00-7:00 PM)… apparently, during these 9 closed hours each day M-F the pool is used for private swimming lessons (leased to an outside operator). Regardless of the financial considerations (perceived as positive to the owners), I cannot fathom the hotel ownership/management’s decision to operate in this manner which removes a much publicized hotel amenity…AND makes absolutely no mention of this amenity, the pool, that I felt I paid for being unavailable to hotel guests during 9 prime hours of each day…(unless it’s buried in the small print somewhere, I couldn’t find it). I should have been notified, as it would have saved me time packing a swim suit and the trouble and expectation of arriving at the pool only to find such closure signage ( the jacuzzi/whirlpool was closed/out-of-order too). Again, all other aspects I give 5-stars!"

La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Baltimore BWI Airport

8/10 Good

"Good busy hotel with reasonable rates and great coffee. The breakfast was rather bland."

Sonesta ES Suites Baltimore BWI Airport

10/10 Excellent

"We had an excellent stay; my family thoroughly enjoyed the experience."

Hotel Indigo Baltimore Downtown by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"..."

Lord Baltimore Hotel

8/10 Good

"Very cool renovated historic hotel. You get the feeling of being in a place rich in history, but with a clean, updated lobby and rooms. Although numerous events were clearly taking place on lower floors (as I could tell from the loads of gift bags at the hotel lobby, the staffed security desks visible when the elevator doors opened on the 9th, 10th, and 11th floors, and the numerous guests on and off the elevators moving between those floors), from where I stayed on the 17th floor it was super-quiet. The elevators themselves are old, and one was a bit shaky, but they were clean and arrived quickly. The room renovations were clearly done in a rush (paint spatter on the bathroom door, visible screw holes where towel bars were moved), but they didn't impact usability and were very minor. The only issues were phone service going in and out when I was in my room, and a shortage of front desk staff at check-in (1 staffer at 4pm on a Friday, a line of 12 waiting guests across the lobby), but for the price, this place is a fantastic value. Will be back!"

Crowne Plaza College Park - Washington DC by IHG

8/10 Good

"Concerns were made at front desk but never got related to people in charge of maintenance. (Stopped up sink and a/c not working."

The Hotel at the University of Maryland

10/10 Excellent

"Very clean and decent hotel, one staff member was a little catty but overall the experience was excellent. Definitely would go back"

Pier 5 Hotel Baltimore

10/10 Excellent

"I like the staff"

Renaissance Baltimore Harborplace Hotel

10/10 Excellent
