Breakfast for $17 is way too pricey for a very basic breakfast Though staff in the restaurant was very helpful and friendly Key cards keep failing and needed to go to front desk multiple times to re-activate it

Excellent location near North Bethesda where I had business.

We stayed for 3 nights while visiting Washington D.C. The room was very spacious and clean. The bathroom was stocked with Dove products and the water pressure in the shower was amazing. Front desk was very friendly and professional. The hotel was located in a great spot and it was about a 15 min drive to the Shady Groove Metro Station which we took to DC. Will stay again when we come back to DC

I think the hotel needs a new look. It needs to be renovated and revamped. The bathroom is dated. I was not pleased with the AC. It was not as cold as I wanted it. The thermostat didn’t go below 66 and it said low battery.

- 5/5
We didn't eat at the restaurant so this review doesn't go towards them. The staff was very pleasant and courteous. We were disappointed that there wasn't a hot tub to relax in after a long day of walking. The beds were very comfortable. I have scoliosis so finding a good hotel bed is hard to come by. I fell asleep within 5 minutes of laying down. During our stay they had multiple busses but if we didn't see the busses we wouldn't have known. You don't need to pack shampoo conditioner body wash or soap as they supply the rooms with Dove everything. The water pressure is amazing. I will definitely be back when I need a hotel by DC

Older property but clean and comfortable. Rooms very large. For the price, it was good for a 5 night stay. I would not recommend the restaurant for dinner. Pizza not very good. Breakfast buffet was $17, so we usually went to nearby Panera. Staff very friendly. I’d stay there again.

The room was clean and fairly comfortable. I’ve slept on better mattresses, but it was acceptable. The breakfast was a nice variety of carbs and protein. Good coffee and I personally enjoyed the orange juice. The pool is seasonal, so we didn’t get to try out that since it was only March. Overall, a nice place to stay for the price.

Amazing, helpful, friendly front desk and cleaning staff! The furniture in our room looked like it was from the 70’s except for the beds which seemed new and comfortable. Very disappointed the indoor pool was not open/working as this was the main reason we booked.

Property was astonishing. Even under renovations, you couldn't tell and the noise level was next to nothing. Would recommend and definitely be back!
- 3/5
The pictures does no justice in showing the truth of this hotel: the rooms although were clean, they are dated the hotel looks like it needs a lot of upgrades. The site I booked stated that we get two vouchers for breakfast but was denied because the hotel didn’t want to validate the fact that breakfast was included w our stay because I booked the hotel through a third party. The manager refused to even give us a courtesy he said to reach out to who I booked and take it up with them, even after I showed proof in my confirmation that it was included with our stay. Needless to say I will be staying elsewhere next time. Also the hotel amenities were very gloomy and deserted.

were poorly lit and the temperature control was not great. Breakfast was mediocre, and the sausage was not cooked through. When I told the breakfast attendant, I was simply told more sausage was coming. I don’t recommend this hotel.

I did not have breakfast in the hotel. I had a coffee maker in the room, and I loved it. I have been to this hotel several times. I have always had good experiences.
- 4/5
Room was clean, sufficient. The desk doesn't know how to follow through on requests though, so even though we booked well in advance and called immediately after booking, they still didn't give us rooms where the door could open between them. We did, however, get requested bathtubs in each room which was also important as we were there to visit grandchildren who couldn't use showers easily. Pool was cold but was warmed up after we let them know. Breakfast is $17, not complimentary and although it looked like it might be tasty, there are many places nearby that can easily beat this price and still hold the quality of what is being offered. A bit of a disappointment with a Holiday Inn where they used to offer a complimentary breakfast that was enough to start the day just fine, something I think they should reconsider bringing back.

I want to share my appreciation for the kindness of the staff here— I misplaced a necklace during my stay and while we weren’t able to find it, the combined effort of the front desk and housekeeping team meant a lot in terms of relieving the stress over losing something dear to us. Will be recommending this place! We loved the pool too

The staff was very welcoming and helpful, but the hotel is outdated and noisy. The bed and pillows were horrible, the towels were also very bad and stiff. You could hear everything in the hallway into your room and the room next door had super loud music past midnight. Would not recommend staying here. Pay the extra 50-100$ for a better hotel in the area.

No complaints - will likely stay at this location again. Also love the little snack area by the front desk - with several options for drinks, microwavable dinners, and refrigerated snacks like yogurt. Check in was quick and staff member was very friendly - helped me fix my reservation when we realized I had booked it for the wrong dates. Highly recommend!

The Holiday Inn Gaithersburg is fine but it really needs updating. The fan was loud and we were not able to turn it off which was very annoying. The staff was friendly and helped with any questions we had. The housekeeping was lacking, coming only once during our four night stay and forgetting hand towels.

I constantly had to get my room key programmed or call maintenance to let me in my room because of the old door handles where you have to slide card in…

Elodie was extremely helpful to us during our stay and so professional. Chose this spot for its location which was close to family. The hotel is a bit dated but well kept. We passed on the breakfast buffet as it was limited (charge was $16.95 + tax) and not as appealing as say, the Hampton Inn breakfast. But overall we had a pretty nice stay.

Overall my experience was pretty good. Mouna who helped checked me in was super nice and extremely professional. The bed was comfortable and the room is clean. The only 2 downsides is that appliances coukd be more updated specifically the bathroom and the elevators and I was having problems with my room key. I had to get like 4 different sets of keys and calling maintenance wasn’t really much help but maybe it was the room I was in. Really good location. Overall I will stay again

I checked in through Expedia I am also a member of Holiday Inn club. I told the gentleman he said he would not give me credit for this day didn't appreciate it the night before I stayed at a Hilton I did the same thing there told him I'mma help remember and they extended the things that they would to any other member and thank you for staying there. Don't understand why Holiday Inn would not give me credit for this day?

The overall temperature in the restaurant, public areas and hallways was too cold. (I am ALWAYS HOT, but even I was cold in those areas.) I would encourage guests to bring a sweater or jacket, especially for dining. Breakfast was always good. Dinners were fairly good as well, just pricey. There are a few dining choices nearby (easy walking distance) We especially liked the food at Irene's Honduran Restaurant on Russell. My husband mistakenly extended our stay, but the charge was removed. However, the final folio looks wrong to us. Our price was supposed to include breakfast for two (out of 3) of us. But we were charged for 3 breakfasts each day anyway. Unfortunately, we didn't discover this until after we left. Hopefully, we can get it straightened out over the phone.

I had to leave another hotel in the same area because of the odor in the rooms so I was pleasantly surprised that your hotel was clean and the staff was outstanding.

Overall we had a great stay. The staff in the kitchen were so nice and attentive even with the busy flow of people coming in. The hotel could definitely use some upgrades though. There wasn't a smart TV, no USB or type C plug ins with the outlets, the Tub/Shower looked old and messy with all the terrible caulking it had, the button for the elevator on the 5th floor was shattered which was not safe. Also I have never experienced a hotel running out of hot water so that was interesting. The pool room has so much potential. You can see where the hotub used to be and the water feature on the back wall was not on. I think with some improvements this hotel will be much better.
