Courtyard by Marriott Bowie

Hopefully this review reaches the proper people… Stayed mid- week One if the worst hotels I have stayed at in recent memory… The room, on the first floor in the rear, looked out to the uncovered, brown and green algae covered pool. The smell and dankness coming in through the AC unit… Mosquitoes in the room.. room had a musty smell. Mattress was borderline criminally soft… Bathroom lighting was very poor…Non existent front desk staff. Spend the extra $ to stay elsewhere… I should have

Do not stay here. Thought I was saving money and going for a cheaper hotel since I just needed a place to sleep for a couple nights. The building and rooms smell bad like cigarettes, weed and the trash/dirty towels that is left in the hallways. The bed had no comforter, only a random throw blanket. The room was so gross and dirty that I had to go buy Clorox wipes to clean. The carpet was sticky and dirty. Lack of amenities and the extremely bare breakfast I was fine with since the price was cheap. The pool looked to be the cleanest part of the whole building. Pulling out of the parking lot can be rough, but the hotel location is really good. The staff just stares at you with dirty looks. Checking out I wanted a receipt and was yelled at to drop the key and go since “no one was on the clock”. Spend the extra money and go to a different hotel.

Positive: The rooms were reasonably priced. My room was clean, the bed was comfortable, and I slept very well. Negative: The carpet in the hallway on both floors needs to be replaced. Upgrading the fixtures in the bathroom would be a major improvement.
