Holiday Inn Washington D.c.-Greenbelt Md

Stayed here for 2 nights for business. I’ve stayed here in the past and the hotel service and value has been consistent.
Distance wise, it’s about 25 minutes away from BWI airport with minimal traffic.
On a Friday mid-​afternoon, it took me an hour to drive to downtown Baltimore.
Pros:
–Front desk staff Chris is very friendly and was excellent in service. Patiently answered all my questions and was able to follow through on any requests
–Restaurant and bar is pretty good. Staff is friendly and they had a delicious crabcake on a brioche bun. Good selection of alcohol and TV’s.
–Vending machines accept credit card
–Located in a large plaza but close enough to gas stations and stores (by car)
Cons:
–Stayed on first floor and was quite noisy late at night (near entrance)
–No towel rack in the bathroom (nowhere to hang it)
–Parking lot is located somewhat far and can get crowded at night
If I visit for business I would stay here again.

This place is hard to find from the freeway, cause Google maps takes you thru a shopping center parking lot to get there. Used a different map the next time out and it seem to know where the place was (what’s up Google).
Big room, OK just not the newest Holiday Inn, but hey it was cheap price wise and we just need a place for the night. This hotel is showing look at the elevators, the buttons had gold trim around them back, to the 80s.
Vending machines on each floor will take a credit card.
Parking is free and there are lots of spaces.
I wish they had a free continental breakfast like so the Express Holiday Inn’s.

I was booked for a single night’s stay at under $ 80/​night. You get what they pay for.
Arrival to the hotel was complicated by a parking lot with minimal to no lighting at all. I didn’t feel safe there and tried to gather my belongings and make it to the entrance as soon as possible.
The front desk staffer was pleasant enough, and quick with my keys. I love that, because by the looks of the place, I have no desire to listen to a spiel about food from a restaurant I won’t eat at, or a gym I won’t use. Colleagues advised me there was only one single treadmill in the entire gym. The gym was isolated and scary for our female travelers.
This hotel shows its age by the condition of their elevators. The buttons had gold trim around them, something I haven’t seen on a new elevator since the 80s.
You exited the elevator to a hallway that is dimly lit. Very depressing. Looking down at the hallway carpeting, it’s dated, worn and stained. The room is not much different.
The guest room didn’t have a single light on when entering the room. So prepare the mobile phone flashlight, or be ready to trip over yourself just looking for a light switch. The main room light switch is actually hidden in the closet that lacks a door.
All of the lamps in the room had very low wattage bulbs that barely give you enough reading light.
The bedding was decent, but felt dirty.
Inside the bathroom it was dusty and filthy. All of the sockets and switch plates were covered in dust. One thing a hotel maintenance department can do to mitigate that is occasionally pop the plates off and blow away the dust with compressed air.
Same goes for the bathroom vent – dusty, nasty, looked as if something was growing in it. The hotel could easily mitigate this danger by calling a duct cleaning company and cleaning every guest room.
The shower hot water indicator was reversed. A danger in that someone could scald their hand or body in the shower.
Worst part about the bathroom was the small circular toilet bowl. Most hotels have upgraded or improved to elongated toilet bowls. This is very very uncomfortable for any male guest that is say older than 10 years old.
The hotel’s WiFi internet connection was so horrific that you couldn’t even view simple YouTube videos.

As a gold member with ihg I tend to be loyal to the ihg brands. We stayed here with a group from our swim team. The hotel is decent especially for the price, no complaints as far as the holiday inn amenities are concerned. I’m going with a 3 star review as some of the people coming and going that are not guests of the hotel put a damper on an otherwise decent place. Specifically there was a strange guy pacing about the lobby, talking loudly to himself, to the hotel staff at the front desk as well as face timing anyone who would answer the phone then waking all over the hotel showing the calls recipient «around». We encountered him again later in the evening at the hotel Bar (willy k’s). Bizarre individual that was rude to everyone he encountered. Not really sure what the staff could have done to exit him, however by their reactions it didn’t appear to be their first encounter with him. Creep.
Finally one of the other parents had a hotel bar charge on their room that wasn’t theirs. Pretty archaic system for charging room from the hotel bar is still in place.

I gave this hotel 3 stars because I was constantly harass and stalked by a guy who I’m not even sure was a guest at the hotel. He was always hanging out in the lobby and always manages to get on the elevator when I get on the elevator. But he never specified what floor button to push. So he always ended up on my floor! #creep I purchased a soda from the vending machine downstairs and it was expired. The clerk at the front refunded me the money, while replacing my remote to my tv, because the remote had blood on it. The staff was apologetic my entire stay, but this hotel was reminded me of a #redroofplus not a Holiday Inn!!!

Employees were smoking weed every morning in the parking lot. The rooms had a moldy smell. The staff always acted like they had a chip on their shoulder. Worst Holiday Inn i’ve stayed in.

This was an excellent deal for a budget hotel. The location was very convenient-​15 minutes to the College Park Metro and perhaps 10 to Greenbelt – and all courtesy of the convenient, reliable shuttle. The rooms and hotel were clean and fresh. The staff were amazingly friendly. The rooms were very comfortable and clean. All in all, this was an excellent base of operation for trips into DC or exploring the DC area.

Room was nice and clean. However, housecleaning woke me up before check out time to ask if I was checking out. Totally unsat in my book!

Stayed there for 3 days
BEST bar/​restaurant on site thank GOD given the area’s choice of food places– Willy K’s all I can say is they make a mean drink, half off food, and great company all around.
GREAT breakfast– they have hash how can you not love this place.
Pool looked great– great outside dining area and patio
AWESOME gourmet coffee machine in lobby… makes Starbucks look nothing and this is FREE.
Rooms were very nice– bathrooms were outdated but how much do you spend in there– Bath and Body products made up for it… and free lotion too!!!
GREAT FRONT DESK CUSTOMER SERVICE– they were very helpful and always smiling.

Probably the worst Holiday Inn I’ve stayed at. Really needs to be upgraded and updated. Looks and smells old. but that is not the main issue. I was pretty disgusted once I got to my room: it was poorly cleaned, dusty, there were stains on the pillow cases, it smelt weird and there were boogers on the curtains. I was seriously considering getting a Lysol and spraying the room… would have at least gotten rid of the moldy smell. Out of all Holiday Inn’s I’ve been, this one has the worst gym. Two people can barely fit to work out at the same time. No water bottles, just a stinky faucet that doesn’t even work!
No market corner to buy some snacks or even something to drink. Each floor has a vending machine. I gave up and drove to the nearest gas station to get a bottle of water because all three vending machines on all three floors I checked, were either out order or out of water.
My stay at that hotel was not pleasant. Would not stay there again.

Stayed in King room on ⁷⁄₁₇₁₅ and I am not happy at all with this 3 star hotel. Although the bed was comfy, through the night we found issues with our room. First our bathroom was outdated and did NOT represent 3 star quality. The tile on the floor was filthy, a huge stain in the shower, and the wall paper was peeling. Second, the air conditioning units look like they were made in 1970! It cut off and on throughout the night barely keeping the room comfortable. Lastly, the customer service of guest services is non existent. Whenever I called down to ask a question I was greeted by rude workers. If you are looking for a 2 star hotel this is the place! If you are looking for a 3 star hotel take your money to the Sheraton or Hilton Garden up the street.
Spoke with the General Manager of Holiday Inn and she was very professional and proficient in solving my issues. Andra was very helpful and treats all customers with 5 star service.

Stayed for about two nights. I found a great deal online for around 90 bucks. The guy who checked me in was pretty nice. His name was Chris. I needed to use the shuttle later to go to the CVS. There were two gentlemen downstairs who called Pedro to take me. Upon climbing into the vehicle, Pedro asked where I was going. I told him to the CVS, and he then barked at me that the shuttle «only goes to Metro». I asked him if he worked for the gentleman who explicitly told him to take me to the CVS. He slammed the shuttle doors shut and drove off. That was a horrible experience. The next day, the manager informed me that the rate would be $ 154.00… I reluctantly paid it. The housekeeping team was derived of black males. With everything going on in the media, and the underlying cause, even a black woman such as myself felt a bit uncomfortable. I’m just not used to that. After staying the second night, I left before checkout time the next day.

My first time here and was completely satisfied. All my usual IHG go-​to properties in DC were thinking they should be over $ 350 per night and my friends were staying right up the street do I was willing to try it. Easy check in, the rooms are clean… although my bathroom had some scrapes and bruises. The fitness area had free weights and 2 good treadmills, but the room was very small, warm, and humid. This would be my only complaint. Not sure I’d come back just because I usually don’t stay on this side of town.

We stayed here recently after a company party.
This place was a bit hard to find from the freeway, mostly because our Google maps decided to take us thru a shopping center parking lot to get there. Be warned if you try and use Maps to get here.
Once there, it took us less than 5 minutes to check in and we were on our way to our room. We were given 2 keys, but only one of them worked. Fine. The room was very basic. It was clean and quiet. About the only complaint w/​the room is that there was no medium w/​the air conditioner. It was either North Pole frostiness at full blast or off resulting in stifling temps in minutes.
Given the right situation (i.e. softball or another work party) we’ll likely stay here again.

Stayed here for a short business trip. Hotel is tucked away in a large business center, so the surrounding area is quiet and away from major streets.
Check in was fast, room was spacious and clean, and it came with a rather larger than usual fridge and freezer. TV included 3 HBO channels.
Vending machines on each floor accept credit card.
Parking is free and there are plenty of spaces available.
The only thing I wish they offered was a free continental breakfast.

So I’m driving up and already had a few issues. MINIMAL TO HARDLY ANY (that I saw) signs to indicate where the parking for the hotel was. With some simple intuition I overlooked it. The check in was brisk and simple. Though after getting out the elevator… It looks so dated. Like I feel like I’m on the set for «good times» and I’m about to meet Louis. Then came the room which was nice till I opened the bathroom door… Stuck in the times is just not doing enough justice… Did I mention there isn’t anywhere for you to hang your towel or washcloth… The faucet is in the wall crocked and the faucet head looks like it’s time for a good calcium soaking! Thank god I had family around here I wouldn’t bath my dog in that HGTV project! The icing on the cake was when I looked around the tub THERE WAS A HAIR FOLLICLE WHEN YOU PUT YOUR SOAP AND OTHER BODY WASH PRODUCTS!!! So now I went from annoyed to tolerable straight to what in the hell… I should’ve booked at the Hilton or the Hyatt trying this hotel was far from a good nights sleep. Aside from the bathroom the room was nice lots of comfort, however the bathroom is the main priority! I need to feel like I’m at home and my bathroom isn’t half ass clean

When I first arrived for check in I was 3 hours early and allowed to check in early I was extremely appreciative because it was a terrible thunderstorm outside. However the room looked nothing like it did online and was far from clean… We went out for a night on the town & came back and wanted to have a few drinks. The glasses provided by the hotel in our room were extremely filthy! No disrespect to the word filthy. The bathroom toilet was not clean & neither was the table in the room. Seeing as though we were rarely in the room the poor quality of the room did not ruin our trip. I overheard people at the front desk arguing with customers on 3 occasions during our 2 day stay (they treated me fine). I wouldn’t stay here again & would only recommend it to relatives I don’t like.

Love the coffee machine all flavors even expresso. Very clean nice rooms no complaints at all friendly staff. On site restaurant and bar. Contemporary décor to room. Great price on price line. Love the location. Its not in ghetto. 30 min to DC and 15 to FedEx field.

Wanted to update my review after a few more stays here.
One of the times, I was checked in by a man, who seems like the manager. He was extremely nice & went out of his way to make me feel welcome as a Platinum Member. After asking if I preferred points or a welcome bag, I chose the points, but he gave met the water & granola anyway. I thought that was nice.
But the next time I checked in, a woman checked me in & I got nothin’. Not even a stinkin’ bottle of water. I feel like consistency is key when you’re staying in hotels, so this is something they could work on.
My rooms however, have been nice every time. I mentioned in my first review that the hotel is dated, but the rooms have been updated & have all the necessary amenities.

Decent little hotel. Very comfortable bed, mini-​fridge and microwave in the room. The bathrooms were miniscule – the bathroom door would come within about a half-​inch of hitting the toilet every time it was opened, meaning that if you want to get something out of the tub, you have to come all the way into the bathroom and then shut the door in order to do so. The tub was shallow and narrow, but long. Good service and decent location. Everything was clean. A little outdated, but certainly comfortable for a night or two. The wifi was surprisingly fast, and housekeeping was very efficient.
The breakfast was a little odd. We got down to the restaurant, and once we ordered off the breakfast menu, our waitress said we shouldn’t do that, we should get the buffet instead. She said everything we’d ordered was on the buffet, which wasn’t exactly true. We didn’t want scrambled eggs, we wanted a different style, and she said she could do that for us on the sly. We were hesitant, but acquiesced. Everything on the buffet was lukewarm and had obviously been sitting for a long while. I don’t know if this was laziness on the waitress’ part, or on the kitchen’s part, but it was very strange.
I’d stay here again if it was only for a couple nights. For anything longer than that, I’d probably want something a bit more upscale.

I stayed here last weekend with my BF. Just a short weekend get-​a-​way and change of environment. The room was sorta clean, found a bug in the bed. Not a bedbug but a «bug». The bathroom are on the small side, the tub is very narrow. They need to upgrade, redo their bathrooms. I have seen much nicer at other HI.
They have a bar on the main level with Karaōke on Friday nights. Its very interesting to see, some good entertainment though. Pool tables and several TV for sport watching. All in all a FUN place. They have a breakfast buffet for $ 10, not bad for the price, good variety of food. The food at the bar on Friday and Saturdays are pretty good for hotel food. The staff and reception desk employees are very very nice. Except for that bug thing, we had a nice time.
This was our second time here, no bugs the first time. I only saw one, which was very small flying type creature. My BF promptly scooped it up with a tissue. Don’t let that deter you from staying here. Believe me, I am very bug phobic but I managed to put it out of my mind. And yes, I would return.

For the price, this place is great. Rooms are clean, beds are comfortable, grounds are well kept.
The staff is top notch. They are quick with everything and very helpful. We asked to switch to a handicap-​friendly room after my girlfriends surgery and they had the new room ready for us within the hour. For sub-​$ 100 rooms, the staff are unbelievably professional.
I deducted a star because of spotty wifi. It’s free, that’s great. But it slows down to a crawl and disconnects often. Also they block sites like Craigslist (I get they don’t want people bringing hookups back to the hotel, but most people know how to use a proxy to get around this or just use their phones). Fix wifi and stop blocking sites, and this is a 5 star review.
