“Should be called Studio Minus”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 July 2007
2
people found this review helpful

I booked a room here based on the other reviews but was quite disappointed. The pubic hair on the toilet in our room when we checked in was a harbinger of things to come. The caulking on the toilet base was half gone, so the thing rocked every time we sat on it. Although the room was nonsmoking, it was next to a smoking room, and the smoke came through the walls and made our room stink by the end of the day (and so our clothes ended up stinking too). We also found a live roach in the kitchen. After purchasing wireless internet, we couldn't get a signal in the room (they did give us a refund, though). Another annoyance was the $25/day "cleaning fee" we had to pay for our dog. Not only is it higher than at most places, but given the room's original lack of cleanliness, it was a real rip-off. The only real "plus" to Studio Plus was that the employees seemed fairly friendly and helpful. I didn't expect anything great for the price, but many of these problems were inexcusable.

“It was a great experience”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 May 2007

We stayed there from May 24 - May 28, 2007 and it was great. Our flight was delayed and we didn't get in until 4am. Even though the doors were locked when I called the office they answered and someone came in to let me in. When I needed change to do laundry they had it. They gave me access to their computers to print my bording passes for my return flight and were helpful in providing me with directions when I needed them. The staff was great. I needed to leave at 4am on the day of check out and they accommodated me. It was just my son and I. The room size is standard and there is a full kitchen with a stove/oven/full size refrigerator/microwave and sink which was fine for us. There was no outside noise to keep you awake at night and the bed was comfortable. Overall It was a great stay and I would definately go back again

  • Liked — The room was perfect for us and the staff was great
  • Disliked — The only thing I can say was that the refrigerator made noise but not that bad

“Big rooms, windows open for fresh air, nice staff; wish it was cheaper for 2 bed”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 3 May 2007

This hotel saved me from the La Quinta Inn in Jessup, MD (see my April 28, 2007 review of that hotel). Usually these Extended Stay type hotels close down at night, but I was extremely lucky in that the sole staffer on duty answered the phone and said I could spend the night. I am incredibly thankful to him and to the hotel overall for that.

Overall, this place was fine. There is a grocery store not too far away which is good for stocking up. There's a fridge, stove, microwave -- full works. The rooms are spacious. The windows open for fresh air, which is essential. The beds were comfortable, and the hotel was quiet. It’s quiet convenient to I-95.

The rooms are a bit run down -- they have a little of the feeling of moving into somebody else’s apartment after they just moved out. In a typical apartment, you can hang up your own artwork, and clean it out, and after awhile it begins to feel and smell like home. But for two days here, it never quite reached the point. Not a big deal…

Overall, I was pleased to find this place and would likely stay there again. Just wish it was a little cheaper. Particularly for two beds, not just 1 queen size bed.

Stayed May 2007

“Studio Plus is excellent value”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 June 2003

We spent a week (May 2003) at the Studio Plus on Gateway Drive in Columbia, Maryland. It was good value for the price. Ask for a weekly rate, if available. Its virtues:polite service, quiet area, outstanding lighting for reading and other needs, comfortable layout, a real kitchen. The only negatives: the bed was a bit soft, and the carpeting throughout the hotel needed to be replaced. Overall, though, we highly recommend it.
