Hotels Near Observatory Park in Gaithersburg

Our first time at this hotel. During our travels I have learned that a hotel is a hotel is a hotel but the heart of a hotel is in it's service and hospitality. We enjoyed the hospitality at this Marriott TownePlace Suites in Gaithersburg, MD. It starts with the General Manager Andrew who checked us in and welcomed us to the property. He was very hospitable and we truly felt like guests during our entire stay. He did well to thank us for our loyalty to Marriott, used our name whenever he saw us during the week. He explained housekeeping and the hours of the breakfast buffet and offered us our gift of points or item from the sundry area. Breakfast buffet was always opened on time. I liked the egg patty (fried eggs) vs the usual scrambled eggs. The breakfast meat was turkey or pork sausage. There were hard cooked eggs and cheddar cheese slices. The waffle machine was available and a real toaster that worked. Wheat bread, bagels and English muffins were available along with yogurt and fresh fruit. Cereals were available including the kids favorite - Fruit Loops. Our room was clean and we enjoyed the bottle of water and cookies as we entered our room. I didn't like the layout of the television. A couple of issues were reported to the General Manager, the bathroom exhaust fan was very loud and the toilet didn't fill quickly after flushing. In the middle of the night the large shampoo bottle fell off from where it was attached to the wall and crashed into the tub scaring us a bit. Although I didn't get everyone's name we did meet a couple of other associates that were very friendly and hospitable, Hunter and Earl. Both should be commended for their hospitality and insuring warm cookies were available in the lobby in the morning. The breakfast area is small I suggest getting up early to insure seating. We didn't use the fitness room but it is small as well. Location is good close to a small shopping center with Panera and an Asian restaurant and a CVS drug store. Parking is ample and there is no charge for parking. Wifi worked great. If your travels bring you to Gaithersburg MD we recommend this hotel.

We stayed overnight and enjoyed this very recently renovated hotel. It's bright, spacious, and welcoming. The modern decor is a bit minimalist but the bed, room appointments, and bath were all first-rate. And the price is reasonable. One minus: the bathroom has a motion-activated light; if you get up during the night to use the bathroom, the light comes on with blinding blindness that is disorienting and can make it difficult to get back to sleep.

All the staff members were very friendly and helpful. There were many restaurants nearby and the Metro station to DC was near by as well. The room was clean and comfortable. Glad to see that the room had a microwave and refrigerator which were very clean. The a/c worked beautifully as it was very hot outside. Would recommend and stay again

Great place for your next event! I needed to schedule an event for 50 in Gaithersburg with attractive lunch options. This property exceeded my expectations with quick and comprehensive event planning support, great menu, free parking, modern and attractive meeting space with an enormous lounge and patio that faced the lake on the 2nd floor. Menu options were plentiful and reasonably priced. Selected several sandwiches which were large artisan creations, salads and desserts that were enjoyed by all. IT and Audio-Visual equipment worked perfectly too! The staff went above and beyond with excellent communication and service delivery making it a great experience. Thank you Jordan, Jessa, Sarah, Carmen and Almaz for your indispensable service!

I like it very much and am very satisfied with it. It is clean and the service attitude is good. I will come back next time. You can ask the waiter for toiletries. You can also apply for a membership card to accumulate points, and you will receive free accommodation in the future.

The environment is very good, there are restaurants and cinemas by the lake. Going a little further is Target and Barns and Noble and some small shops.

My family stayed for 2 nights (thur & fri) but had a comfortable time here. The hotel exceeded my expectations. Pros: -quiet on the 6th floor, even with being the first room by the elevator (I expected it to be loud and annoying) -nice hot breakfast options -great open area for seating during breakfast and available all hours (as far as I could tell). Great place for groups. Some lounge/couch areas. My kids played some board games together. -clean and spacious rooms -full size fridge, dishwasher, 2-burner, microwave and small kitchen sink -nice staff -coffee and tea available after breakfast (for all hours?? Or until they run out? As far as I could tell) Cons: -really didn't have any on this stay and I'm a critical person!

Located next to the highway, the room is very good, the breakfast is quite satisfactory, the parking is free, and the location is a lot. Suitable for self-driving tours from Niagara Falls to Washington. The Grand Falls can be reached in about 7 hours by car and from the hotel to the peak hour in Washington for about an hour.

In the suburbs, many blacks live here. Staying for less than 6 days will not clean you up. You can go to the front desk to change clean towels and sheets. Fully equipped with microwave, refrigerator and kitchenette. There are 55 buses at the door that can be transferred to nearby places and subway stations.
