The hotel was decent, but it didn't live up to the rating assigned by Expedia
I was expecting something better. The breakfast wasn't great; it was very ordinary. Usually, you get something better than that for free, without having to pay an extra charge.
Used a taxi from BWI- hotel property about 25 minutes from BWI airport. Easy drive a local friend took me back to airport. The rooms are very clean, no strange odor. Comfy bed, shower gel ,lotions and shampoo in shower. King bed room- refrigerator in room. Nice large TV to get am news and weather. The breakfast buffet was nice plenty of items eggs ,sausage links, panckes, French Toast, fruits yogurts , coffee and juice. Peaceful stay staff very friendly and helpful if you' have questions. Book them ! Oh and hotel near a Walgreens
The staff was wonderful. The hotel in general was beautiful. The food was great, my only two gripes were the pool and hot tub area were shutdown for maintenance during our stay which was one of the key reasons I chose this hotel, and I purchased a suite because I'm an early to bed, early to rise sort of person and my wife likes to sleep late so as to not disturb her while she sleeps we get suites, however this room the door didn't want to stay closed, the doors had glass windows in it so it didn't do any good as far as separating you from disturbing anyone, and lastly it had light switches on the wall that went to nothing I could find. You'd walk into a dark room looking for a lit switch to give you some sort of light to find the other lights in the room. As mentioned, the staff was great, I voiced my complaints and they were happy to come up and fix them, however we were getting ready to check out anyways the next day and I thought it was pointless for me but suggested they might want to fix them prior to the next customers coming through.
I had a really nice stay here. The property was clean, comfortable, and the staff was very friendly and helpful. Everything was easy from check-in to check-out. I would definitely recommend this place to other travelers and would stay here again.
The property was clean, well staffed and offered an ample, tasty breakfast daily. I was very disappointed that the indoor pool/jacuzzi was out of order during my entire stay. Since the weather was cold (February), this advertised feature was extremely attractive and the reason I booked this hotel. I brought this to the manager’s attention, at check-out, and he did give us Hilton Honors points for the inconvenience. However, I feel the property should have notified me that the pool/jacuzzi was out of order when my reservation was confirmed.
Overall atmosphere was very nice. Although the place was busy, it was not rowdy or noisy. Staff was nice. Room was nice.
Only downside was that the pool was closed.
