Hotels Near Patapsco Valley State Park - Hollofield Area in Ellicott City

We stayed here for 4 nights while moving. The bed was comfortable, the room was nice and quiet, and staff were accommodating. They have a laundry room on-site which was very convenient. The hotel is in a good location.

The hotel is always pretty clean. However I think they should renovate immediately. Another plus is they have food for sale in the lobby. Prices are always reasonable. Some rooms have microwave and mini fridge others don't have either. Smoking room I had,had cigarette burns all over the room including the bathroom.

The room had a VERY strong cigarette smell--I had to run the air non stop just to filter it out. The curtains do not shut all the way, so light shines right in your face, and to make it even worse the closet doors are right across from the window and have mirrors on them. Underneath the bed (within standing view), I found a ********* joint butt so the cleaning crew is definitely taking shortcuts. The bathroom had paint peeling off the ceiling and no exhaust fan so I had to shower with the door wide open to use the mirror, and still had to wipe it with a towel. The carpet had big white stains in a few places and the door had some kind of residue--it looked like it had something dripping all over the top of it at one point. The front desk is NOT staffed 24 hours, but they keep the front door locked at night, and have a paper sign with handwritten message ”Please ring bell”. When it is staffed, the card reader is disabled and you have to ring the doorbell and wait for someone to open the front door. If it is not staffed, THEN you can use your room card and no one will answer the doorbell, which they never tell you. When I checked out and returned my room key, all I got was an ”OK, thank you”, and the cashier (Cashier ID: OJackson12) did not proceed to check me out at the register until I called back during my plane boarding and reminded her (she also took this opportunity to rudely remind me ”yeah, that was me”). THEN she sent me the email receipt. My receipt shows my checkout time as the time of that phone call--about 12:30, an hour and a half late checkout time when in reality I returned my room key at around 10:15.

Nice hotel , good hospitality by Dolores and others. Room was good, service was exceptional . Good stop over for a long distance drive to DC trip , close to aquarium and could drive back from DC on a Busy long weekend . . ..

The cell phone signal is not good!

I stayed here 1 night and was overall very happy with my stay. I felt like I was at a ”real” hotel, not the shabby, overused Hampton Inns I had been staying at on my drives from NYC to Florida and back. The staff was welcoming and professional and my room was a delight--clean, lovely towels, dual lighting for the beds (dim & regular), hot water than was hot immediately, and a very comfortable king bed. The TV had really good channels, including some premium ones. The waitress in the restaurant served me a late dinner graciously. The buffet breakfast is overpriced, but you get more for that price than you do at Hilton Garden Inns and the staff did a very good job of refilling the serving pans as they were emptied by the kids. I did had some issues, thus the 4 stars. Most of the people staying at the hotel appeared to be families traveling with children going to sports meets. There should be some way of keeping a part of the hotel for adults only, so you don't hear girls screaming down the corridor at 12:30am (and yes, they did wake me up). One elevator was broken, incurring long waits, and I see from other reviews that this is a continuing problem. Also, the toilet paper needs to be upgraded!
