What guests think

At Extended Stay America Suites - Columbia - Columbia Parkway, guests describe an older budget property in a convenient area, but recurring complaints cite inconsistent cleanliness, dated maintenance, noise, and a very limited grab-and-go breakfast.

Service feedback is mixed: several guests praise friendly front-desk staff, while others report limited presence and slow responses, especially for housekeeping requests, infrequent room service, and exchanging towels or obtaining kitchenware. Multiple reviews note ongoing wear-and-tear and intermittent issues such as renovation noise, elevator problems, utility or plumbing troubles, and hallway disturbances, though a number of guests still found stays quiet enough and appreciated the price and location. Expect a no-frills stay prioritizing location and value over amenities and polish.

My only complaint would be that the parking areas weren’t plowed after the snowstorm, not even by the next day.

Good place. Clean room. Only kick on the place was the main entrance didn’t look like a main entrance. Looked more like a back door. Had to circle the building to be sure.

The room was nice, clean. The bathroom looked like it had been recently upgraded. It was great for a one night stay, but the elevator broke down at check in. Served as exercise. 😊 I also appreciated that they had great movies to choose from on television. I would stay again!

Horrible doesnt even begin to describe this stay.. 1st we get there put us in the top floor. Elevator sounds like it is going to break. Nothing eorks, room key, tv, phone. Went down and she says heres a number call it and they will fix it. Not my job. They changed our room. Again key doesnt work, needed more bath towels as we were staying 4 nights, they say bring the old ines, and we will give you new ones. No cleaning service at all. Buyer beware, dont stay here

Renovating. Noise started at 8:00 am. Very loud! On our floor. Very noisy at night past 11:30 pm. Staff didn’t ask how our stay was. Staff didn’t communicate anything, just enough to check in. Check out, zero communication. We have stayed here several times before. I can appreciate the upgrades but not at the cost of the customers’s experience and sleep.

All in all this ESA location is ok... It's relatively clean, and located close to Columbia and Ellicott City. Everything in the room worked as expected. Well, one of the kitchen cabinet doors had a broken hinge... It wasn't spotlessly clean, but it wasn't dirty either. Surprisingly for this day in age the hotel WiFi service is NOT free! Really; someonw still tries to charge for WiFi!? And that WiFi isn't cheap at something like $5/day... Thankfully, we had no need for it as the cell phone had decent 5g coverage at the hotel location. The staff were more or less transparent and ignored us as much as we ignored them... No daily room cleaning was provided. Check-in and out was painless. As for the "breakfast", that's coffee and tea, and some nutrigrain bars or muffins, in other words not much... But it was about the least expensive hotel for miles around. Seemed relatively safe.

Staff very friendly and helpful. Reserved an accessible room Bathroom was well equipped but the bed was no more than 18 inches off the floor and was very uncomfortable. There had been a snow storm earlier in the week, parking lot was not plowed , just a driving lane handicap spaces were icy and sidewalk wasn’t cleared for days.

When I first arrived, there was no one at the front desk instead there was a sign saying that they would return shortly. I asked for a non smoking room however the hallway reeked of cigarettes. As I walked into the room, everything was fine until the next morning I saw bugs on the floor. As for the staff, my room wasn’t straighten up by housekeeping. To end my experience, I saw a roach on the floor after I saw a roach, I knew it was time to end my stay. I don’t recommend this hotel due to the cleanliness and short staff of this place.

This hotel was dated. Our bed sat on a 6 inch bedframe making the total height of the bed about 18 inches. The shower was disgusting. The staff was pleasant. Breakfast was a joke. Your choice was a granola bar, packaged muffin or a cup of dry oats for you to add hot water to to all go along with coffee. No juice, water or milk. NEVER AGAIN!!

I have stayed in this hotel at least 12 times in the past and recommended it to numerous colleagues. I won’t ever do that again! The hotel was FILTHY- I had to clean the tub before I could use it; the toilet was used - the refrigerator had mold in it- I needed to work on my computer and the WIFI was worthless- Additionally there were obnoxiously loud children screaming in the halls and slamming doors most of the night. The desk clerk was more worried about snacking and talking on her cell phone than she was helping… Never Again

We found this a very confusing hotel. First the room they assigned us the refrigerator didn’t work. The front desk helped immediately. The kitchen is not stocked at all. If you want glasses, plates or any kitchen ware you have to contact the front desk and they will give you just what you ask for. The overall cleanliness is good even though they’re remodeling. I didn’t see any house keeping people and they only service your room, according to the hotel information, every 2 weeks. But there is an envelope for a housekeeping tip. It was impossible to get any fresh towels and we were there 5 days. Breakfast is coffee and hot water. I saw some instant oatmeal not much else. It’s in a good location right off hwy 100. The beds are comfortable.
