Best Hotels in Bowie, United States

This particular TownPlace Suites carries the Marriott name but not the quality. It's very difficult to write a bad Marriott review but this location has a long way to go before it will have you Marriott satisfied. Most of the staff is very nice, I actually stayed for a week last month and locked my keys in my vehicle the day I was to check out. The front desk went out of the way to give me extended access to the room until I was able to gain access to my vehicle. I returned the next week to a completely different experience. There was a fill in staffer that was unable to create reservations and check in guest. I had to remain in my vehicle from 3 am until 7 am when another front desk agent arrived. I asked to use the bathroom in the lobby since I had to wait outside 4 hours. I was told only registered guest could use the lobby restroom. I would have been a registered guest with a room if they had adequate staffing. I literally had to argue with the woman on duty to allow me to use the bathroom since I had to return to my vehicle to sleep. Marriott? Not. I checked out after getting some rest finished my week stay at another hotel just across the street. Better price and better service. But since I am and always will be a Marriott guest, a month later I came back. I reserved for three nights. I always arrive early in the morning and this time I arrived at 3:30 am. The front desk was downloading it's computer so again, I had to wait for service.... Instead of booking my three night reservation I was told to book for one night then rebook the rest of my stay the next morning. The next morning I was advised the hotel was completely sold out and I would not be able to complete my reservation. Asking for management only made the situation worse. All kinds of excuses but no customer service. No accountability. No accommodation. In 30 years I have never called corporate but I had to this time. Then, the general manager started backtracking. Then a room became available, she moved some things around. 30 minutes later too many excuses later... no thank you. I was told I had half hour to vacate the room or I would be charged an additional day as a threat against me contacting the corporate office. To make matters worse, the same general manager modified my folio receipt to make it appear I was checked in for 3 days/2 nights although I was only there 8.5 hours. How was it resolved? Not with more service but with more excuses. I went to a Hilton and finished my reservation. Better price better service and the tvs work. If you are reading this you have been warned. This property does not operate at Marriott level standards. Go anywhere else if you want to be treated like a paying guest.

Met up with a friend and we ended up staying here as even a suite was cheaper than any place in Annapolis and it’s not that far away. Arrived and waited only a minute behind a guy asking questions and the clerk (one of two working) apologized multiple times for the wait. A sign posted at the front desk noted that they wouldn’t be doing stay-over housekeeping on Saturdays - meaning they’re one of a very few places I’ve seen still offering it, at least for six days out of the week. They definitely didn’t seem to have staffing challenges - every time I walked by the desk, including as a late as 10:00 p.m., I saw two people on duty. Some places have one person on duty for the whole establishment, meaning the front desk is often unattended. Not the case here. All of the staff I interacted with were courteous and professional. The room was clean and a typical Comfort Inn room. The suite had a separate bedroom and a jacuzzi tub in the bathroom. Even though it was two weeks after Labor Day the outdoor pool was still available. There’s a bar and restaurant on side that’s open limited hours in the evenings. The bartender/waitress was awesome and even stuck around after the kitchen closed at the official closing time to keep serving drinks. The menu was limited to mainly appetizers and bar food but it was decent and very reasonably priced. They use the restaurant for the well-stocked hot breakfast buffet and I like that they used real plates and silverware as opposed to disposable items. This was definitely an above-average hotel breakfast and non-guests could eat for $9. My only complaint was that the waffle maker was not available. All in all, this is decent choice at a reasonable price.

I am not one person to leave a review. However, I am less than pleased. The room is covered in dust. It took over four hours to cool the room down. The king size bed sags in the middle and is extremely uncomfortable. I absolutely do not feel clean in this room. The fitness center is absolutely disgusting. The thermostat in the fitness center is held on by scotch tape and it is overwhelmingly hot in there. The machines have clearly not been cleaned in a while and there are machines that have clear evidence of heavy sweat left on them. I recommend saving a few dollars by choosing another hotel nearby. There is nothing worth the price tag of this stay.

This is an excellent property, far exceeding our expectations. Very nice King room, VERY clean throughout, and very comfortable. The whole property was neat and clean. Would/will stay again without a doubt. Kudos to the management and staff. The only small negative was related to the breakfast, thinking they need a new cook. The pork sausage on the morning we stayed was burned to a crisp. The nice ”singing staff person” who was manning the breakfast even brought out another pan of the links but they were as bad or even worse than the first. Come on, pick up your game there a bit please. The cinnamon rolls were fresh and hot and gooey just they way they should be. The coffee was hot and fresh. Overall a 5-star stay for which we were very thankful!

On the outside it is not inspiring. There is construction going on and it's tucked in between like a car dealership and other non-hotel businesses. I was worried as I drove up. But inside, it's its own little world. It is EXTREMELY clean. The breakfast was actually satisfying and the staff were friendly. The room was great. The only thing I would like to see is, as they replace their mini-fridges, that they use ones that have a separate freezer compartment. We had some frozen things we wanted to stay frozen, and the back wall of the mini-fridge was not up to the task. We slept great and it was conveniently located for where we needed to be. Very fair pricing as well.

It's beautiful, clean and modern, but not one you'll want to stay at if you have an early morning flight. We didn't know the shuttle didn't start until 7 am (odd) or we would've booked another hotel. When you have other travelers complaining about this, you may want to reconsider your hours. PRO'S: I will say the lobby and room were beautiful modern eye candy. It was clean, the bathroom luxurious, the bed like a dreamy pillow and the staff courteous. We only spent about 6 hours there, so not enough time to try the food, breakfast or the gym- which looked upscale with many machines and weights. CON'S: As others have mentioned, the halls can be NOISY. We should've known something was up when we had to sign a disclaimer upon check in that we wouldn't have a party in the room. A first! Having said that, the walls/door seem to be a bit thin. The drunken people heading to their rooms at 2 am sounded like they were in our room as they passed. A total bummer when you have to leave for the airport via Lyft ($30) at 4:15 am . Here's a thought: Maybe one hallway on the top floor could be reserved for airport travelers or those requesting quiet rooms (since you're an airport hotel?). That way you can ensure your patrons a good night's sleep. Fellow WHITE NOISE LOVERS? For those that depend on a hotel's thermostat to have a constantly running fan option, this does not. Again odd, as we rarely run into this with hotels. The fan will turn off when the temp is reached, leaving you susceptible to any hallway noise. It would be great if you had a few portable fans available or even one tucked in each room like you do hairdryers. Also, if you're a hot sleeper in July's heat you cannot adjust the AC to any lower than 64 degrees. Will we stay there again? Perhaps if we don't need an early shuttle and ask for a quiet room. I hope the management will consider these comments, because this hotel could be amazing if it addressed a few areas.

This hotel is conveniently located across from Live ****** which is great. They are clearly short staffed - there is no daily housekeeping and the bar was only open for one night as their bartender did not show up for his shift the next night. The check in line was long, only one woman working, but she never lost her smile and made it a pleasant experience. In fact, everyone we encountered was very nice. The room was average, weird layout and no microwave. The bathroom was gross. The showerhead leaked so there was a puddle of water in the shower when we got in. Then the seal on the door was broken so water leaked out everywhere. The wallpaper was torn and there was evidence of mold

Two seniors, our son and 3-year-old grandson made a reservation at this hotel when traveling to Annapolis for another grandson's baptism. We made the reservation through hotels.com, paid for it ahead, and received a confirmation which said our reservation was guaranteed. We arrived at the hotel at approximately 8:30 pm with an overtired toddler to be told that the hotel had oversold rooms and we had none. They also did nothing to help us find another room but instead referred us back to hotels.com, which found us a room at a Westin hotel 15 minutes away by car. The next party who arrived after us were told the same, although for some reason the staff was trying to help them find a room although they had booked through booking.com. The hotel staff admitted that they often oversell and have this problem every Saturday night. BEWARE!!

The hotel was clean. There were no bugs and the bed was comfortable. The bathroom was nice. There is also breakfast, but it is not included. For the price of the hotel, it was definitely worth the stay.
