Detailed Reviews
We stayed at this property for 2 nights. It's in a good location near shopping and restaurants. Check in was easy. Our room was clean and comfortable. The addition of an in-room safe would be nice. We also appreciate that a bar of soap is provided for the shower as we have no desire to use the bottles of "goo." Standard housekeeping is every other day. We asked for daily housekeeping and it was provided.
Breakfast is standard for Homewood. On the first morning, some items seemed to be a little scarce. For instance, there was no cream cheese for the bagels and the juice seemed a little weak. The second morning was much better.
While the property is clean, there are some areas that need maintenance. For instance, neither of the elliptical machines in the gym worked property and neither tv was functioning. The display on the recumbent bike didn't work and some of the attachments for the cable machine were missing. I reported the problem and was told that the entire fitness center was in need of maintenance. Also, we tried to enter one of the side doors and our keys wouldn't work. We reported that and were told that the door never works.
With some maintenance, this property could easily be 4 or 5 stars.

Hotel's Favorite
We were only there for one night, but the hotel was great! The front desk staff was super nice. They gave us a great option for dinner, too! The rooms were clean and fairly quiet. Breakfast was delicious and stayed well stocked, which isn't always the case at other hotels. We would stay here again if we were in the area, for sure.

Will is the man!!! 💯 I've stayed at a lot of hotels; I've lost count at this point, but I can say with complete confidence that Will is the most gracious and helpful person I've encountered at a hotel front desk. This man IS service 🙌 Every time I've had a request, he has been able to accommodate me. I love staying here and I can't help but smile when I walk into the lobby now.
This hotel is a great spot to stay in Columbia, MD. I've stayed here several times for multiple days each time and its the best hotel experience I've come across. I have stayed at several other hotels in the area when Homewood Suites was full and the other spots were not as good.
In addition to their previously mentioned superhero staff member at the front desk, I have a couple more kudos to give. Whoever maintains the pool, does a great job- it's much cleaner than other hotel pools I've used. I broke my ankle a few months back and since then, I've reluctantly used a lot of hotel pools to do my physical therapy.
They also serve this delicious frittata at breakfast (or they used to… it hasn't been served the last two weeks I stayed there). I can't help but go for a second plate when its on the menu. I'm saying my prayers that they bring it back because it's much better than the standard scrambled eggs served at hotel breakfasts.
Last things to note: they have laundry on site, the 24/7 workout room has a cable machine, free weights, and cardio options, and by the first floor restrooms, there is a water bottle filling station. I've found that a water bottle filling station is surprisingly rare at hotels, so it's a nice bonus. Last thing- stay here on Wednesday night if you're into an evening social with food and drinks 🥂😉

At this location, management ensures that guest are satisfied. Unlike the Laurel (Maple Lawn) location the housekeeping personnel are in uniform and identifiable, and will easily respond to simple requests. Unlike Laurel, the breakfast distribution is performed by a dedicated resource that bags you selections, and they have fresh eggs available to cook in your room. Management is responsive and greets patrons with a smile. This location is close to everything...yes everything.

This hotel was my home away from home for months on and off in 2022 and 2023 as I endured repeated home water emergencies.
The staff is so warm and friendly here. I lived here with my dogs, and they made us feel supported and safe through our stays there.
I also really appreciated being moved to a 2BR suite on an upper floor when my dog was spooked by sounds above us that he wasn’t used to. It was good space for us and was pretty quiet as well.
The only issue I observed there was that the dryers were slow to dry and caused the smoke alarms to go off from time to time.
I’d definitely stay here again and am grateful to the staff for making us feel so welcome.

Horrible stay at this hotel. Spent 2 nights there and as soon as we checked into our room the air conditioner was making a horrible loud sound. I went to the front desk asking for maintenance explaining the noise. They said they would send someone to check it out . After a few hours no one showed up so we called down to the desk asking again for maintenance. They finally showed up around 8:00 pm. Was informed that the noise was the compressor and
More than likely it was going out and he would return shortly to “quiet it”, needless to say he never showed back up. We had a horrible night of sleep with the noise and the entire floor vibrating all night. The room was damp and barely cool with a wonderful musty smell. Second day same situation with an added bonus of a running toilet! Called down again and was told they would come fix it. We left and when we returned back to the room nothing was fixed. I went to the front desk and was told yes , they had sent someone to fix it while we were gone.. well nothing was done and at this point we had less than 9 hours left in our stay and I gave up.
The hotel is old and dated looks like they have done some minor updates with modern carpet and wall paper in the hallways but needs a lot more done in the rooms

My wife and toddler son stayed 4 nights here and it was a great place for us. Check-in and check-out were seamless. Breakfast was delicious: scrambled eggs, sausages, french toast, yogurt, juice, coffee, muffins, bagels, and always available oatmeal. The front desk also sells drinks, including cold beer and wine and items that you might otherwise go to CVS or Walgreens for.
We stayed at a suite and it was clean and nicely setup. It had a full kitchenette, including plates and utensils. We enjoyed making coffee using the simple coffee machine. For some reason, the coffee tasted better than I expected at a hotel.
The hotel was fully renovated several years ago and it looks nice. The area near the hotel is generally quiet and there is a CVS nearby if you needed anything. Also it is next to several restaurants. Highly recommend!

We are a family of 5 and have stayed at several types of Hilton hotels all over the country and this past weekend was by far our worst experience to date.
To start our, room was not ready upon arrival even though we digitally checked in the day before. We were told this was due to the extra time they need to thoroughly clean the rooms to new Covid standards and were satisfied by that response until we were able to get a room. The "high quality cleanliness" due to Covid was not as advertised - food from the previous tenant was left in the fridge and freezer, some kind of residue was in the kitchen sink and there was no "clean" sealed sticker on our door like the other rooms we walked passed. There was also a large group of guests also waiting for rooms to be ready in the lobby, no social distancing was being enforced. Throughout our stay of 4 nights, there were large groups of people loitering in the parking lot - some were quietly hanging out which is fine but most were being loud and bothersome while we were trying to sleep in our room on the 4th floor. The fire alarm was pulled 3 times in one night due to rowdy guests and several nights there were fireworks being lit in the parking lot as well. The hotel employees seemed to be doing very little to quiet or effectively control the rowdy guests in the parking lot. The pool deck area was poorly maintained from garbage and other debris. The smell of cigarette smoke and marijuana lingered in hallways and the elevator every single day, even though there were signs everywhere that no smoking was allowed anywhere inside the hotel.
We visit family in the area every year and even though this is the closest and reasonable priced, we will not be staying here again.

Dear MrsSheldon1206, Thanks for taking the time to let us know about your stay. This past weekend was a challenge for us and I am sorry you got caught in the crosshairs. Our occupancy levels for the weekend swelled to double what we were expecting in less than 24 hours, with many (including) one of those groups of lingerers booking same day reservations. This caught all of our departments from housekeeping to front desk short staffed. Add to that, not all of our guests were here for the same definition of rest and relaxation as your family was and trouble ensued. I am sorry your stay was not as you wished.

Hotel was clean friendly staff, only downside utensils were not available in the room and had to call for them while I was cooking for my child also we had two rooms when we left the first one and checked put which was two doors down the way when I got the utensils (spatula) I am almost positive it came from the room we checked out of and it was not clean straight out the dishwasher of dirty dishes. The cleaning staff brought it to me and she was the same one cleaning my old room. That was disappointing.

8a-10p but no one came and bothered us past 10
It is not a long drive but Uber would be the way to go. It would be worth it to call the hotel and ask them--they do go out of their way to be helpful.
My apology, I was a guest at the hotel. Please email or call the Homewood Suites in Columbia and ask to speak with a Team Member who may be able to assistant you with your question.
