Country Inn & Suites By Carlson

Nice place I took off two stars for the creepy guy at the front desk he too pictures of my friends and I on his personal cell phone when no one asked him to that. But on the upside he opened the pool up for our guy friend way after it had closed so we could just relax and he let us have food in there.
Doesn’t make up for the creepiness though. Other than that the hotel is pretty nice.

I travel most of the time and usually stay at Embassy Suites or above. Now, don’t get me wrong, there are some horrible 4 and 5 star hotels out there especially the service. They will nickel and dime you for everything. Country Inn and Suites is one of those you get what you pay for… over booked… out of towels… old looking… not fresh… bates hotel with creepy reps… mold on bathroom ceiling. …you tell me no one could wipe it with a bleach towel. wait they are all out of towels… i had to go buy my own… I can tell they tried to update the bathroom with clearance rack granite and discounted paint. they didn’t even bother to paint in the lines. parking is terrible. I guess they are in business with a company that works on powerlines, there were several cherry pickers parked in some prime spots. the infrastructure is old… windows are cheap… lamps need replacing… going bad… not enough lighting felt like I was in a funeral home. …slept on top of the covers with my own travel pillow… .need I say more
Pros…cheap for when you are in a bind… microwave and fridge in room. free internet but its public… I wouldn’t conduct business unless you have a reliable fire wall… continental breakfast. .and if you think you might be infected, just get the swimming pool there’s enough chlorine to kill cancer. Wait. is that a pro or con… the toilet is powerful and loud.lol.guaranteed not to ever clog.

HORRIBLE.
I have a knack for hotels because I used to travel a lot with my dance company. So I’ve been to the worst (cockroaches and all) and the best. So when I say don’t go here. Just take my advice. This place is behind two nicer hotels for a reason.
Don’t stay here. We stayed here because my family and cousins visited our extended family in Maryland. We got 3 rooms. While checking in on a Saturday night lets just say that we all had to play a game of «musical rooms». Upon entering the first room we discovered that one room was NOT made up. So we let the lady at the desk know. And she said that she had no cleaning service to fix it. So dragged all the luggage down the stairs. Turns out. There were no other options except for a king sized bedroom, which was not possible cuz there were four of us. The lady did nothing about it except give us our options to switch with my cousins. After switching with them, we still ended up in a king size bedroom with no pullout couch. STILL can’t do that because there were STILL four of us. So we ended up switching again with another family of cousins for a king and a pullout couch.
The room was poorly lit, the room was old and creepy, hot, and it smelled of mold. Concierge lady was ditzy or high off something. And my sister showered with huge creepy crawling thing. The environment was old and not worth it.
Pros: continental breakfast, and your own fridge and microwave.

Very pleasant two-​day stay! I arrived at 1 PM and, although I was two hours early for check-​in time, I was readily welcomed. The room was clean, comfortable and spacious. The cable TV choices were broad, the fitness facility was well equipped, the free freshly baked cookies were a delightful treat. The morning breakfast was fantastic! It comes with the standard assortment of fruit, yogurt, juices and «make your own waffles» but, the meal also includes scrambled eggs and the meat selection of the morning (bacon on the first morning and chicken on the second).
The room was quiet although the facility seemed to be mostly full. My only complaints are that a U turn manuever is required to enter the access road to get to the hotel, the carpet in the room was worn and needs to be replaced and the office chair in the room had seen better days.
Despite those issues, I’d definitely stay here again.

Hotel was clean and staff was friendly. I liked that you needed a key card to even get into the lobby at night (makes me feel safer). Location was a little hard to find, even with a GPS though. Breakfast had a lot of selection and was always refilled. Walls are a little thin because I can hear the teenagers in the room next door but someone must have told them to hush up so, it was really quiet after that. Really close to DC too! Would stay here again. I don’t know if this was close to a bad neighborhood in Maryland but I can see some signs indicating so. And when we got lost, we ended up in a scary area about 15 minutes south of the hotel.

Great spot outside DC area. Two room suite is enormous and comfy. Great to have two TV sets, one in the living room and one in bedroom, and the bedroom has a door! Beds were very comfortable, the room AC was all set when we checked in. Nice big refrigerator and a microwave included. Shower was very good, towels very soft and plentiful. Staff is courteous. Very clean. Breakfast was a pleasant surprise – it was deemed as «continental», but there were hot items, eggs, bacon, waffles, very nice for free. Why only 4 stars? Well the pounding from our upstairs neighbor was somewhat annoying, and pretty much constant. This is not the hotel’s fault, but I guess the walls ate kind of thin. Overall I would love to return here if I am in this area again. Staff was very nice and all in all this hotel exceeded my expectations and was a very good value.

Okay hotel, pretty inexpensive, the breakfast is pretty limiting.
