Holiday Inn Gaithersburg by IHG

We were here for a brief stay. The room was clean, had a large comfortable couch, and desk area with comfortable desk chair. The bathroom is split with a private shower and toilet with the sink separated. Mini fridge, microwave and bar sink with ice bucket available. Wifi is reliable and fast.

Positive: Hospitality of receptionist and manager, clean rooms, well chlorinated pool and clean pool area, gluten free muffins at breakfast, good coffee in lobby, late check out. Negative: Of the first rooms we were assigned, one had an odor (119) and the other an improperly locked window on the first floor but the staff allowed us to quickly change rooms. The staff was professional and cheerful about it too.

I’m a loyal Marriott member and this hotel is missed the mark. The pool area smells dreadful like mold and it is visible in the air vents. My room had mold growing in the closet and peeling chipping paint from high humidity. There’s no ventilation or exhaust. The tub wouldn’t drain. The whole 2nd floor of the hotel smells like must and mold. The place is a health hazard.
