Courtyard by Marriott Bowie
By the Top3Hotels editorial team. Based on Booking.com guest scores and reviews, location data and reference prices. We did not stay at this hotel. Updated 2026-10-24.
Book it if you value friendly service and clean rooms enough to pay the highest price among our three Bowie picks. If cost is the deciding factor, our other two choices were much cheaper at the reference dates, and guests here often call the rates pricey.

This is our Best Value pick for Bowie. It has 3 stars and a guest score of 8.8 out of 10 from 211 reviews, which shared first place among the 4 properties we compared.
It suits business travellers and anyone who puts staff and cleanliness first. The free parking and on-site restaurant make it easy for a short work trip by car.
Skip it if you are watching your budget. Price is the one theme guests complain about, and our Budget pick costs a lot less.
Location and getting around
The address is 16800 Science Drive. Guests rate the location 9.3 out of 10.
Six Flags America is about 8.1 km away, roughly 101 minutes on foot as a straight-line estimate. First Baptist Church of Glenarden is about 10.5 km away, about 131 minutes. Both are far, so a car, taxi or public transport will be needed.
We have not verified walking times to restaurants or offices near the hotel. Check the address on a map before you book.
What guests say
Staff are the standout. Reviewers describe a friendly, warm team and excellent service.
Cleanliness is the second strong point. Guests say rooms and the wider property are well kept and tidy.
The complaint is price. Rates are frequently described as pricey or overpriced. That matches our own figures, since this was the most expensive of our three Bowie picks and well above the city median.
Price compared with our other two picks
Reference prices seen for a 2-night stay in November 2026 for 2 adults put it at €178.94 per night, about €358 for both nights. The sample median was €124.71. These are not live quotes, so check today's price for your dates.
Our Budget pick, Hampton Inn Bowie, was €107.42 per night with an 8.2. Our Luxury pick, Comfort Inn Conference Center, was €137.03 per night with an 8.6 and 4 stars.
That is a gap of about €72 a night to the Hampton Inn and about €42 to the Comfort Inn. You get the best guest score of the three, but the score lead over the Comfort Inn is only 0.2. For many travellers the cheaper options will make more sense.
Why it made our top 3
Our Best Value slot balances guest score, number of reviews and reference price. It is not designed to be the cheapest. With only 4 eligible properties in Bowie, the joint top score carried this hotel into the slot despite its price.
Listed facilities include a gym, a restaurant, free parking, free Wi-Fi and air conditioning. Breakfast is listed as American and buffet. Opening times and fees are not confirmed.
Before you book
Room size, noise, renovation condition, breakfast inclusion and cancellation terms have not been assessed. Check whether breakfast comes with your rate, since that changes the real cost.
Above all, compare live prices for your dates. If the gap to our other two picks has narrowed, this becomes an easier choice.
