Residence Inn Fulton at Maple Lawn Hotels in Howard County

Residence Inn Fulton at Maple Lawn

"We are local to this particular hotel property and stayed here for one night due to some utility issues at home. I had never stayed at a Residence Inn before, but given the opportunity to stay here again, I’d do so in a heartbeat. The whole experience allowed us to “test-drive” this property in case we have out-of-town family visiting us needing a place to stay. This property is located adjacent to the Maple Lawn residential community, within a shopping center, in the town of Fulton, which is south of Columbia, Maryland. This property, with 103 sleeping rooms, is pretty new and it shows with its furniture in the lobby and sleeping rooms. The lobby was well-lit and had many tables and seating options for guest to work or relax at. We arrived early for check in and found they had a fresh urn of coffee and hot water (for tea) available while we waited for our room to be available. There are five EV charging stations in the parking lot behind the building (4 are clustered together with one by the building as a handicapped spot). The charging station uses EV Connect, which requires you to download its app before connecting your car to the charger. Be careful where you step as you use the charging station. The chargers are located on a grass median in the parking lot, which is also the designated area for pets of guest to relieve themselves. The median was littered with poops --- guests did not pick up after their dogs. It would be a welcome asset to this hotel if it supplied doggie poop bags by the back entrance that leads to this grassy spot. Our room (suite) on the second floor was clean, spacious, and functional. We found nothing out of order nor disrepair---everything worked, no bulbs were burnt out, dresser drawers worked fine as well as the chair, outlets, curtains, etc. The bathroom had ample towels and towel racks, with a shampoo, conditioner and body wash bottles attached to the shower wall. Even with these in the shower area, there was plenty of room to shower without hitting the glass nor any of the dispenser bottles. The shower is a modern step-in style, with a glass half-wall at the end where the shower head is, allowing maximum light into the shower area (vs. having a proportion of light blocked out due to the shower curtain). We slept very soundly---the room was very quiet. The bed mattress was firm yet comfortable. Even though this hotel property was sold out while we were there, we never heard our neighbors next door nor across the hall. The walls must have been sound-proofed or simply thick because I never heard anything, only the HVAC system running, which was like white noise. They offer a free hot breakfast here from 6:30 to 9:30 each day. When we went to get breakfast the next morning around 7:15, there were maybe only about 10? people there. So it was quite quiet, with plenty of places to sit and eat. Other guests were good about bussing their own tables so there were no lingering dirty plates or trash"

The Columbia Inn at Peralynna Hotels in Howard County

The Columbia Inn at Peralynna

"The hotel is located a few kilometers from Highway 29, making it ideal for self-drive travelers. Both Washington, D.C., and Baltimore's Inner Harbor are within an hour's drive. The surroundings are tranquil and beautiful, with the famous tourist town of Ellicott City nearby. Within a 10-minute radius are parks, schools, and supermarkets, making it a great place to fully experience American life. Thank you for the breakfast gift bag. I'll definitely stay again if I have the chance!"

Best Western Plus BWI Airport Hotel - Arundel Mills ★★★
"Really terrible for the room. What most impressive is the colorfulness. Everything is colorful -- the towels, pillows, sheets, everything. I don't know whether they even washed it. There are certainly hair discovered muliple places, like on the towels. Oh right, used shampoo!!! You don't have to open the bottle yourself -- it's already opened, saving you all the troubles-- and hope you don't have too much hair, 'casue it won't be sufficient to wash it!"
