Hilton Garden Inn Solomons

8/10 Good
"The room was clean and away from the elevators with no issues for the specific room. The only reason this is not a 5 star review is that there is no accommodation for customers / guests that need a nightstand on both sides of the bed. In our situation both customers have a CPAP machine. The reservation was for 2 guests and the room was a queen bed and upon arrival we had to decide who was going to sleep without their CPAP machine because the room has no bedside table or electrical outlets on the outer edge of the bed. Regardless of the medical need when will Hotels learn that both sides of the bed need a place to hold their CPAP or book or tea."

"We were back home for a family wedding & had to rent a place this time. Even though there was a weather system off the coast we were still able to enjoy the outdoors and even caught some crabs in the pots on pier for dinner. Our host was wonderful she was helpful in every way possible even allowed us to arrive a little early so we could cook dinner for the rehearsal dinner for the wedding with a few family members. She made sure we didn’t need anything while we were there & for our trip home she actually makes a point to care. We’ll go back to stay in the future for sure"

8/10 Good
"Everything was good, standard hotel/motel stuff: little coffee pot, mini-fridge, microwave, tv,a/c - everything worked as expected, furniture, carpeting, lights, bathroom all looked newish and everything was very clean. Desk folk were pleasant, didn’t have much interaction. The big plus is the location, right by a huge marina (if you like looking at boats) and the Calvert Marine Museum- combines natural history and the commercial history of the area, has the Drum Point lighthouse (you can tour) and a boat tour of Patuxent Harbor, plus fossils, river otters, fish. Calvert Cliffs / Flag Pond parks are a 10 minute drive if you want to dig for fossils yourself. So: comfortable place, very reasonably priced, close to all sorts of stuff; definitely worth it."
