The worst hotel I have ever stayed in in my entire life and I travel a lot. There was a dead bug on the floor in the bathroom there was an odor in the front lobby. The property is poorly taken care of the room had a terrible odor and was not very sanitary. The room is very dated. The whole property is dated. The bed had a dip right in the middle of the mattress It was so bad that I could not even stay I came in town for my cousins wedding and I was so terrified of this hotel that I put all of my things in my car and drove all the way back to Dallas With my small children in the middle of the night After the wedding instead of staying at the hotel that I paid for. I do not recommend this hotel to anyone. It looks like something straight out of a horror movie.

I had a great stay here. The room had been recently remodeled and was very nice. The shower was beautiful and had instant hot water. Yes, the place had a little construction going on but nothing that hampered me or my stay. Front desk staff was nice and helpful. No breakfast (was advertised) but maybe that was due to construction. Maybe it was still Covid concerns, not sure but no big deal. Overall a great stay. Will definitely stay again.

Pretty solid stay here in Bowie! The rooms were fairly clean and I noticed that they may have been going through a renovation. There was a storm that day and so I stood out and watched a bit and the owners did too and they were super nice. For the price you get what you pay for. The only negative thing I d say is that there wasn t any breakfast available unfortunately and also reading some of the reviews and particularly owner responses were a bit alarming. I know that I don t run a hotel, but responding to other reviews in sometimes aggressive ways is a little alarming to be fair. That aside, great stay!

We stayed here for one night and we checked in around 11pm to around 12am and we asked for a room on The ground floor for three adults and we requested 2 queen beds and they said it was. So when we got to the room and we got ready for bed and we were really tired from traveling all day we realized the beds were not queen size and we were just to tired to go to the office but one of us was not able to sleep in the bed and had to use a cot we had in the truck. The next morning we looked at the tags on the beds to see what size they really were and they were full extra long and one of us went to the office to tell them and they said so and also said they were queen and they were not. He was basically calling us a liar and being rude about the whole thing.

Please read other reviews. This will confirm what has all be said before. I have pictures and videos for proof. The price reflects the service, the rooms, and location for a reason. Other hotels in Bowie are packed. This hotel the parking lot is empty. The lot has pot holes the size of a small kid pool. The parking lot is littered with construction materials that has just been sitting. There is no breakfast even though advertised (see other comments on how long its been) the rooms smell musty but I thought it was because the air had not been run but I was wrong. There is blood on the bathroom wall, tile is cracked, towel rack coming off the wall, the tvs are blurry and old, carpet is stained, carpet cove is coming off the walls, holes in the wall, 2 towels even though the room holds 4 people (which they charge you $20 extra each person after 2, but the website says up to 4 people) the staff are rude, they will threaten to charge you for damages (so I took pics and video before and after) check your card statement after check out to make sure because they will tell you "it's their word vs yours".. anything for extra money out of the person when they have out front a brand new BMW but the hotel is falling a part.. the front lobby is in shambles with trash on counters and used food containers. Parking lot has re-bar sticking up out of parking blocks waiting for someone to trip and land on it and stab themselves with it(see pics). My dog is fully trained and registered as a service animal with the federal government with tags. Hotel manager threatened to charge $200 before check in happened (actually told front desk clerk to put me on the phone). Grass is unkept and full of weeds. Flies are everywhere. Standing water which harbors mosquitoes, bugs in room.. etc.. please go to another hotel if you can afford it. Please see all pics. Ask me for the videos.. Hopefully corporate sees this and makes changes

The rooms on side are being updated & other side not. But I found dead crickets in the drawer & on floor. The Beds was the worst, woke up with great back pain & sinus cold. Switched rooms to other side & no luggage chart, No Breakfast at all & just crappie. TV was blurry & let say it again, Beds are so old & even new one was a spring bed. I'm checking out today 4\27/23 I will differently NEVER stay here again, I'd rather sleep in my car. Had to use my air bed to sleep on.

Fire extinguisher by my room is missing, no breakfast even though they advertise it, door doesn t shut properly even with the locks locked, ice machine doesn t work, old food items still in the fridge, less than half of a used toilet paper roll in the bathroom, they act like it s under renovation but the equipment and supplies for renovations have been in the same spots obviously untouched for years probably. I could go on and on but its a place to sleep and cheap.

We had a great experience there. Employees and housekeeping both top notch. Our room was very nice. Newly remodeled. It was quiet as well. Very happy with the experience. Would definitely stay there again. Price was affordable for what they offered.

Disgusting. Sheets not clean, had what appeared to be blood stain on bottom sheet. No service, no coffee, no breakfast, office closed in the morning.Should have gone another 500 yards over the hill to a real hotel, Best Western.Noteworthy details: Supposedly "Under Renovation".Well, SHUT THE DAMN DOOR UNTIL IT'S ALL DONE !!

This was the most unprofessional and unwelcoming hotel I've ever been to. Would never recommend with the current owner/manager. We stopped there because we had some vehicle issues. He found out what was going on with us and tried to corner us into getting another room or leaving. Overcharged us for one of the nights we were there, also don't listen to the billboard either because there is no breakfast and the wifi only hits 2mbps. So we went to Best Western next door and they took very good care of us for the same price. Pool, hot breakfast, and legitimate wifi.

18 wheeler parking. Easy to get your truck in and out. Really nice people. Great price, nice location. If you drive a tractor/trailer stop here for the night. The room was really clean and smelled wonderful. Bathroom was spotless. Good price for the room.

After learning at 2am when checking in that Priceline messed up our booking date the manger did finally make the corrections on his end. The room was absolutely wonderful. Exceptionally clean and well maintained. I do recommend this hotel and will stay there if I m ever in need of a room in the area. The only negative was that the manager waited a little too long to allow the date change so we could get in the room.

Great for an inexpensive place to sleep, beds were comfortable, rooms clean, and staff friendly. The downside was the front door of the room had large air space around it and the wind blew the door slightly in and out making noise, letting the cold 30 degrees in, and as well as light. Was too tired to ask for a different room. Good sized parking lot for our long trailer. Would stay again, just ask for a different room with a better exterior door. Military discount.

I was looking for an inexpensive, basic, no frills room to crash for a few hours during an emergency 3,000 mile cross country road trip. This fit the bill perfectly. There are renovating right now but my room was adequate. I just needed a bed and a shower. For $60....bingo!

We rented a room, and we needed smoking, pets and breakfast. The room was not clean and the bathroom was disgusting, the toilet was new though, the bathtub was rushed. They only give you one big towel and then there's NO breakfast. Regret getting it for the two nights we have to be here due to our father being ill.Would not recommend...

Found blood on the sheets in my newly checked in room that my husband and I had to wait an hour after they had told us it would be ready at 4. Owner said housekeeping must have just overlooked it .Online it says $68 a night but when you get there it s really $99 a night, no breakfast just noodles, candies, and HOT cokes. No ice machine on property.Don t mind the guys fixing up the place they ll just eyeball you and make you feel and uncomfortable as possible. Literally dont leave anything of value alone or without something or someone to protect it.I d give it less stars but Google won t let me. The best western is cleaner and nice with breakfast

No complaints. Tv worked. Heater and ac worked. Room was clean no smells. Hot shower. Not a single bug and I was looking, fridge and microwave were clean. I stayed a night, I didn't eat the breakfast but smelled good.

Room was clean & the staff I interacted with was kind. Other guests were polite in passing. Unfortunately the heater didn t work & it was FREEZING. Picked up a small heater from the Walmart close by. The guy at the front desk didn t seem to give af about his job lol. He could be warmer, more welcoming & overall more professional.Good local food close by. I would stay here if I had business in the area again.
