I needed an extended stay hotel but was not familiar with the area. Another hotel referred me to the Residence Inn on Golden Triangle Drive in Greenbelt. I am very happy I was directed to Residence Inn. When I stopped at the desk to inquire about rooms Keisha was VERY pleasant and accomodating, AND professional. The room was like being in a condo. To wash clothes in the laundry was affordable. Chad and Mr. George (along with others) doing the week cooked and the food is good. The manager Mr. Davis is approachable, professional and friendly. The cleaning staff is friendly. I did not like my room cleaned every day so I was left with a stack of towels which was great. It is in a great location. Close to 295, grocery stores, two malls and walking distance to a restaurant. It was a great experience and I was actually sad to leave. If I had one request it would be to enlarge the work out room and add more weights but as is it is not bad. I will definitely refer to the Residence Inn as a great place to stay!

From the moment I walked into the room I was in awe. The floor plan, layout, etc., gave me he warm feeling like I was at home. The room was immaculate. The location of this hotel was another plus. The beautiful area, pleasant and friendly staff, and the safe feel my family and I experienced is something to worth "bragging" about. Residence Inn will now be my # 1 choice when going on a a vacation or just getting away for weekends. Also, having a full kitchen saved us a lot of $$$$ by not having to eat out.

Ps: Keep up the excellent hospitality.

First time in a Residence Inn. Really enjoyed the extra room! It was a studio, but with a full kitchen/living room area. Great proximity to UMD College Park campus. Housekeeping service was spotty. We were 3 people and were routinely left with only 2 clean towels. My husband went to the front desk every day to get more. They promised to let housekeeping know we needed more, but this went on for all 5 days of our stay. Also, disappointed that they didn't make up the room until late every day - 5:00!
Other than that, we enjoyed the pool, the free breakfasts and the location.

We like to take an annual family summer trip to D.C. and we consistently stay at the Residence Inn Greenbelt where you get a lot of bang for your buck. Staying just outside the city saves us a bunch of money alone, but there are a lot of other reasons we choose this hotel over others:

1. Staff: The hotel manager, Mr. Davis, and his staff are helpful, friendly and willing to do "whatever it takes" to make your stay a good one. You can never beat good customer service.

2. Location: The Greenbelt Metro Station (Green Line) is less than a 5 minute drive from the hotel. There is ample parking (sometimes a rarity at Metro stations) and it's in a clean, safe, neighborhood where we feel good about leaving our car for up to 12 hours a day. We'll normally hop on the Metro, enjoy the 20min ride into the city and go about our day. We usually return late at night, but the station is always well lit, security is present, and the parking lot is also bright, open, and feels "safe". There are also several shopping plazas all within a 5 minute drive of the hotel that have everything you could possibly need.

3. Simple: This hotel is simple and serves its purpose; a nice, clean, quiet place to return to at the end of a busy day. The beds are comfortable, there is ample room in every kind of room (studio, 1 bdrm suite, or 2 bdrm suite), maid service is consistent. If you think ahead, fill one of those travel containers with some laundry soap from home and bring a roll of quarters with you; you can pack much less and do a load or two of laundry (located on the 2nd and 4th floors) during your stay.

4. Kitchen: Having a full kitchen saves us a TON of money. While the breakfasts served there are "ok", there wasn't always something for everyone. With a quick trip to Giant Supermarket just down the road, we are able to buy some simple groceries that allow us to keep some food in our room. $75 at Giant fed our family of 4 breakfast for 4 mornings, 4 nights worth of snacks, and drinks whenever we wanted. Compare that to feeding the family dinner at a local diner for $67.00 for ONE MEAL and you can't miss the advantages that come with having the kitchen. We even cooked a frozen pizza for dinner in the oven one night when we returned too late to go to a restaurant but too hungry to just head to bed! Perfection!


I'll end this with saying that we drive into the D.C. area and having either your own car or a rental would be best if you choose to stay in this hotel.

The Residence Inn Greenbelt is a GREAT place for families to stay while in the Washington, D.C. area.
