What guests think

At Residence Inn Columbia MD, travelers frequently praise friendly staff, clean and spacious suites with kitchens, and a convenient, safe location near dining and highways, while feedback on breakfast, noise from the roadway, and occasional maintenance issues is more mixed.

On-site perks include a pool, an outdoor firepit, and a small gym; some guests also noted easy parking, though handicap spaces can be limited. Suite layouts with kitchens suit longer stays, but some note low bathroom fixtures for taller guests and occasional in-room faults such as a fireplace or TV not working. Expect a comfortable, suite-style base well suited to families and longer stays.

Rooms were very good with all facilities. We asked for the fireplace to be looked at 5 times, but it never worked during the 5 days we were there. It's literally on the motorway, so it was convenient but extremely noisy. Breakfast was mediocre.

Great place to stay especially for family because it’s spacious. The rooms look like the pictures and were very clean. The breakfast area was good too. clean and the food was fine. Close to shopping and malls location was great. Only thing I can say is the pull out bed was not comfortable and could feel the springs but my 10 yo slept on the actual couch instead and said it felt good. The king bed was comfortable and the bedding was soft and clean. They took the hoop off the basketball goal which would have been fun but overall I would stay again.

Hotel employees were extremely friendly and my room was clean but I would not rate it as very good as many people reviewed it in Hotels.com. It was more of a Best Western or Comfort Inn type of hotel which lacks updated rooms and has scuff marks on things like walls,furniture and carpet was older as well .Beds were not comfortable. I wouldn't stay again it was hard for me to sleep.

Location is excellent. Safe neighborhood. Super close to fast food, restaurants, grocery stores, & shopping. One bedroom suite was spacious enough for our family of 6 (we brought an air mattress) would definitely get the 2 bedroom suite next time but we’re able to make do with the one bedroom for this trip. We would absolutely come back. Bedding was comfortable, rooms were clean. Only negative was breakfast was definitely lacking but so many food options near by- didn’t affect our stay too much. All staff we encountered were kind.

The suite was clean and well-stocked. Bed and pillows, great. But the walls are thin, and we could hear a couple conversing nearby, and they were not being loud! Also the room and bathroom design are poor in regard to privacy and sound containment. There is a door to the WC only; the sink area is open to the bed just four feet away. If you’re up in the night to use the bathroom, you will definitely disturb your partner as you use the sink. Also the light in the WC/shower is far too dim.

The rooms are really lovely with the kitchenette. The king-size bed was overall decently comfortable but not awesomely great. The shower in the bathroom were nice. However, we had to move rooms because the television was not working in our first room. It was good because we were removed because of the loud air compressors right outside the window. We moved to an upstairs unit just above, the bed was less comfortable and the road noise was horrendous. So be sure to bring a white noise app or YouTube drown out the 100 traffic noise The staff was amazing, super friendly and super attentive.
