Our Stay at the Holiday Inn Express in Silver Spring, MD was Pleasant!

Disclosure: I received a discounted or free product to help facilitate the review. All opinions stated are genuine and my own.

Holiday Inn Express
7990 Georgia Avenue 
 Silver Spring,  Maryland  20910 

What do you look for in a hotel? When my family and I travel, there are certain things, besides safety which is paramount, that we look for to help make our stay more enjoyable. The three things that top my list are location, free WiFi, and free breakfast. The Holiday Inn Express in Silver Spring, Maryland had them all.

The room was a standard double-bed.
There was an easy chair and small table not pictured, on the other side of the bed to the left.

We booked a standard two-bed room. It was clean and came with all you might expect.


Free WiFi was available for our entire stay.

There was the writing/desk area. Free WiFi was provided for the entire stay, which made it nice for checking the weather, news, etc. 

The little freezer came in handy for gelato, and the refrigerator held
our restaurant leftovers and drinks!

A flat-screen TV, microwave, and mini-refrigerator/freezer were also appreciated conveniences in the room. A lot of times we had leftovers from our dinners out, and this provided us with a fast way to reheat them when someone was hungry, but we weren't quite ready to go out.


There was also ample storage for Minecraft Characters...because when you're 7-yrs.-old and you just got the set for Christmas, those little guys are traveling with you. ;) The drawer was instantly claimed as 'animal space' and that's where the stuffed animal crew lived. My son kept his clothes in his suitcase (so his characters could have the drawer), lol!

The closet was small but efficient.
There was also a safe, and a shelf just above the hanging bar.

The closet in the room offered a safe, an ironing board/iron, a shelf, and plenty of room for our coats. The iron and ironing board are great for touching up dress clothes, when you're having more than just a casual night out.

Loving that tile!

The bathrooms were spotless, and had a cool tile in them that made the room lively. Housekeeping was spot-on with providing us with what we needed each day, and they went out of their way to be polite.

The small touches sometimes made us laugh,
but they were all appreciated.

Little touches like the carefully folded end of the toilet paper made us laugh, but they were appreciated.

The Hot/Cold Breakfast was supervised so nothing ran out.
It also ran until 9:30, allowing the slower folks in our group to get fed. ;)

The free breakfast in the morning was monitored by staff, and provided both hot and cold items aplenty. It ran until 9:30 each day, allowing plenty of time for even the stragglers in our group (*cough* my teen *cough*) to make it downstairs with plenty of time to get fueled up for the day.

I'm not even a breakfast person usually (terrible, I know)
but I enjoyed the food and the uninterrupted (aka unplugged) time with the family.

Honestly, I'm not big on morning eating for myself, but I did surprise myself by enjoying fruit (or yogurt), a bagel and juice each morning, and I completely appreciated not having to find a place to buy breakfast. While it's certainly the least expensive meal of the day, feeding a family of (4) three meals a day, when you're out-of-towners, can get downright pricey. Plus when there's breakfast in the hotel, you don't feel so rushed to get ready and out in the a.m.

The Pancakes in a Minute Flat machine captivated the kids. ;)

There were hot breakfast items, like sausage, eggs, and biscuits. It was the Pancakes in a Minute Flat machine, however, that wooed the hearts of my children. There was just something fun about putting your plate at the end of the machine, and having two pancakes almost instantaneously pop out (no flipping required ;) ).

High tables and booths.

Seating in the breakfast area was ample, with both high table,

Low table and more booth seating.

low-table, and booth selections.

The Cultural Arts Center was directly across the street from the hotel.
It was one of many, many places (including ample dining and shopping)
 to visit in the immediate neighborhood.

After we fueled up for the day, hitting the area attractions was first on our to-do list. The location of the Holiday Inn Express in Silver Spring, MD. is ideal for two reasons. First and foremost, it is in a prime location all on its own. We could literally walk across the street to the Cultural Arts Center, and all around us, as far as you could walk in every direction, we were surrounding by fun/interesting/amazing things to do.

Food Tip: If you're a pizza-lover, like we are, you can walk to Pacci's Neopolitan Pizzeria. We did, and my oldest and his wife met us there. Everyone thought it was a great place to get a pie! If pizza's not your thing, no worries, there are tons of eating establishments in close vicinity to the hotel.

A metro map was conveniently located in the lobby area.
We took the metro twice to DC

The second reason the hotel location is ideal is that it sits just outside of DC, and a short ride on the metro took us most anywhere in the busy city that we wanted to go...without the agitation, and hustle & bustle of traffic in that very busy area.

There was a shuttle at the hotel, but the metro stations were so close,
and the weather was so nice that we just walked to them.

There was a shuttle van that would take you to the metro if you wanted to use it (there was also a metro bus out front), but there were metro stations close enough to walk. The weather was so mild and pleasant when we were there that we took the opportunity to enjoy it, and skipped the shuttle altogether. Walking was more fun, and it was nice to have that downtime walking, and joking with the family. Everyone was along for our walk except my daughter-in-law and grandbaby, who met us at our destination (they were 20 minutes late because they drove...DC traffic is really just that crazy!).

The rooms had free WiFi, but there was a business center
that included a printer, if you wanted to use it.
It was located in the main lobby.

The rooms had Free WiFi, but if you wanted to utilize the business center in the lobby, you were free to do so. The printer would prove useful for airline tickets, directions, or any other multitude of things if you needed to use it.

There was a small but efficient workout center.
It also had a water dispenser in the corner.

There was also a small, but efficient workout room, for those brilliant enough to get their exercise groove on during their stay. For us, it was our holiday, so I skipped my workouts entirely, and with no regrets. :D

Pay Laundry makes me happy. It means there is no need to over pack!

Pay facilities for laundry were a nice touch. I like to have laundry on-site, that way I don't have to overpack! Luckily for us, we didn't need to use them, but I loved the option that they were there.

Hotel Parking was Free!

Parking at the hotel was free, and in that area, that's a really big deal. There was also meter parking outside of the hotel (you could renew/refresh it from your phone!), and guest parking was available if needed, for a small fee. In addition to that, a public parking garage was located directly behind the hotel. So refreshing to have so many options to park, in such a busy place.

Everything above was just par for the course for the kids... but when my teen
found gelato in the snack pantry in the lobby, the hotel became her instant favorite.

All of the things I mentioned, we greatly appreciated in the hotel. It was the talenti Mediterranean Mint gelato though, that sent my daughter over the glee moon. She purchased two of these during our stay, with her own Christmas money. They were offered for sale in the hotel's convenient drink/snack pantry in the front lobby. Her first gelato was purchased when our family stopped over to get us for a daily outing. That meant two big brothers who also like gelato were in the room (one of whom indulged liberally). ;) Her second purchase was done at a time when the boys were gone to my oldest son's house. I'm still laughing. She'll share, but with gelato, she'd definitely rather not. ;)

All in all we were very happy with our stay. The only downside, and it really wasn't a downside at all since the air had a fan option, was that the big windows didn't open easily, and when they did it was just a crack. It was so nice weather-wise (unheard of for this time of year!) that we really wanted to get some fresh air in the room...but on the bigger scale of things, not being able to do so was really no big deal.

We enjoyed the Holiday Inn Express in Silver Spring, MD., and would gladly return for a future visit. In fact, we very well may, we still have so many things we want to see and do in both Maryland, and in DC!

  4. I love hotels that offer a good breakfast and shuttle service. I don't know of many hotels that have windows that even open partly. Maybe it's for liability reasons?

  5. We never stay anywhere without a breakfast offered -- it makes life SO much easier with little ones in tow. Often one of us will run down and bring food back to the room for everyone, so that we don't even need to get the kids out of bed!

  6. lol clothes never need a drawer, but those minecraft characters do. Sounds like a good one, clean is sure my #1. Free wi-fi too.

  10. I like the Silver Spring area. I used to travel up there quite a bit for a previous job. I usually stayed in a different hotel, but that one looks nice and kid friendly too!

  12. Holiday Inn express has definitely stepped it up over the years. I remember back in 1999 I refused to stay in one that was booked through my company, but in 2010 I gave it another shot - sooo much better!
    BTW - I love that your 7 year old carries the MineCraft characters, my 8 year old carries around the indermin (or however you spell it) :).

  14. Like you, location and free wifi are the biggest points for me when booking a hotel room. Especially when traveling here in Europe, and wifi is my only connection to the internet (as cell only works in Sweden) it is super important. I've always enjoyed Holiday Inn Express hotels!

    ReplyDelete
  15. These are really nice hotels. Look at all of the amenities!

    ReplyDelete
  16. Hi Rosey .. sounds like you had everything you could possibly need - incredible amount of bits and bobs ... what a great find. The pancake machine looks fun .. now I'd do that ... but I'm like you I really do not do breakfast - never have, never will ... Then the metro so close, and the littlie's drawer for his critters .. definitely a goooood place! Cheers Hilary

    ReplyDelete
  17. It looks like a wonderful place to stay! I love how good the breakfast looks. And the metro map looks really helpful. I can't eat gelato cuz it bothers my stomach but it sure is good! I love that that is what she used her money on lol. That's a girl for you!

    ReplyDelete
  18. Looks like a really nice place to stay,I like that there is a safe in the room a lot of places do not offer this,also of course the wifi is a must for me.

  20. This Holiday Inn looks like a very nice place to stay. We stayed at an Inn overnight over the break - just to take the kids to a pool. It was VERY similar to a Holiday Inn - we really enjoyed our stay too!

    ReplyDelete
  21. What a great looking hotel :) love the fact there was so much space for the toys as well - most definitely important. x

  22. That is a great looking hotel. My grandparents and I would always stay at Super 8 when we traveled.

  26. I love Holiday Inn Express. In a hotel I always look for the size of the room, there are a lot of us, and free breakfast!

    ReplyDelete
  27. Whew I am having a hard time leaving this comment! Haha! I keep pressing the wrong buttons! Anyway, clean rooms and free food are great incentives for our family when choosing a hotel. This looks like it had both :-)

    ReplyDelete
  28. It really looks like they have all the comforts of home! Clean is always #1 on our list. And yay for spacious drawers lol!

  33. We love staying at Holiday Inns-we choose our hotel for pool, gym and continental breakfast amenities http://www.parentinghealthy.com/

    ReplyDelete
  34. We've stayed in a LOT of Holiday Inn Expresses over the years, and for a lot of the reasons you already mentioned. I especially like the convenience of having a fridge and microwave in our room. The complimentary breakfast is an important perk, too, although I've never run across one of those nifty pancake makers. That must be fairly new. In fact, judging by the spiffy look of your room, the inn looks pretty darned new, too. Nice review.

    ReplyDelete
  35. This place looks great! I have never stayed at inn and might give it a try! http://nomoneywilltravel.com

  36. The free breakfast is such a huge help with a family. I'm not a big breakfast eater either, but my boyfriend is so it's important I find a place that includes it. I love free WiFi; that's getting harder and harder to find.

    ReplyDelete
  37. We always have a good experience at Holiday Inns. They tend to have the best selection for breakfast, too.

  63. If we are ever in the area, we'll have to check this out. It looks amazing!

  70. What a great review and I love all of your photos. I always look for Holiday Inn when we are planning trips or vacations because they never disappoint. I love all of the touches they provide as well and I have to admit I fold my TP the same way at home, lol.

    ReplyDelete
  71. This is just the sort of hotel I like when we are going to investigate an area. I want to count on clean and comfortable, and don't want to pay for fluff when I'm there for adventure outside the property.

    ReplyDelete
  72. I would definitely stay here. My husband and I are planning a trip to DC this year and I am going to mention this to him.

    ReplyDelete
  77. I've stayed at the Holiday Inn Express before and enjoyed my stay as well. I love that your kids brought all their Minecraft toys and stored them in the drawers. :)

    ReplyDelete
  78. We have Holiday Inns over here in the UK, but they aren't as lovely as yours from what I remember. The Minecraft storing is too sweet.

    ReplyDelete
  79. I have stayed there, really nice place and great service!

    ReplyDelete
  80. I agree - the location, free WiFi, and free breakfast are important! We stayed in a Holiday Inn Express recently that was awesome!

    ReplyDelete
  81. I always look for free parking, free wifi and location! Love the Holiday Inn!

  82. I have never been to a Holiday Inn before but it looks quite nice. I love the fact they folded the Tissue, haha!

    ReplyDelete
  83. Looks like a great hotel. I love that they supervise the breakfast. Those always seem to have slim pickings by the time we make it.

  84. hey i used to live right up the way from there....cool area...so did you go into baltimore...lots of neat stuff to do there....i love the harbor...and used to walk down there on my lunch break.....

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. I wish we would have had time, I was looking at all the great things to do there. The weather was nice enough to enjoy the harbor too, if we'd have been able to go. We did a couple of things in DC, but not near enough there either. We did spend a lot of great time visiting family (and extended family) though, and that's my favorite thing to do!! Hopefully we'll have more time on our next visit. :)

  89. I actually did stay in a Holiday Inn Express but as a Mystery Shop! It was only about 1/2 hour from where I live lol. It was exactly as you described!! Of course when it came to meals and eating out--I had a BIG advantage--I knew exactly where I was and where the descent and not over priced restaurants were!!

    ReplyDelete
  90. Looks like a great family vacation! How fun!

    ReplyDelete
  91. When we book a hotel, we only stay somewhere that has an indoor pool and fitness center. Complimentary breakfast is preferred by me, but not a deal breaker, but I really do need wireless Internet. I like the mosaic bathroom tile at the Holiday Inn. I also love a good hot/cold breakfast.

    ReplyDelete
  92. Holiday Inn hotels are quite nice. I've stayed twice in their hotel here in the Philippines and we have a nice time, as well.

  116. I would have never guess that all of that was in a Holiday in Express. When you drive to a from for Christmas, our halfway point is Montgomery, Alabama and we always stay in the same hotel which is also very nice. We got in earlier than usual coming back and they had a taco bar set up, with beer on tap and two boxes of wine! Best box of White Zinfandel that I ever tasted. That was so great because we sure didn't feel like going back out to eat.
