This is not a traditional Marriott hotel where a standard level of quality and service can be expected. Apparently, it was formerly a nursing home, then dormitories for the university located across the street. All of this is very obvious by the design of the rooms and lack of attention to detail. You don't know how bad it is until... More

Huge rooms (used to be student dorms I think). BUT no room service. So if you want to eat in your room (few other options locally) then you have to go down to the bar and have your dinner passed to you in plastic containers to take up in the elevator in a plastic bag. Classy!

My husband and I stayed there as part of a wedding group. We loved the king bed and the spacious suite. Ever time we were in the lobby, the front desk staff used our name, which wasgreat. Had a wonderful breakfast saturday morning, a grea deal for less than $10.00. Their restaurant is under renovation, but looks real spacious and... More

Stayed at this hotel the weekend of September 22-24, 2006, while in Maryland for a family event. After reading the negative reviews and speaking with a not-so-friendly nor helpful reservations clerk, I was hesitant; however, because the hotel was close to other family members who live in the area, I took the chance. And I'm glad we did. We (husband... More

The website says that it is one of Baltimore's best kept secrets, and I wish it would have stayed that way. The hotel is old, and you get that impression when you walk in. The Front desk people were decent, and directed us to part in the underground parking. We drove into the garage, and there were several unsavory people... More

This hotel was apparently originally an apartment building, so 'rooms' are actually apartments. Some are 1 bedroom and others are 2 bedroom. All 'apartments' have fully equipped full kitchens, washer/dryers, walk-in closets and sliding glass doors that exit out onto patios that overlook the town of Towson. Well maintained, the furniture and beds are a little old, and occasionally you... More

This was the absolute worst hotel stay I have ever had in a Marriott property. Decided to stay here because it was close to the home of the friend we were visiting and also so I could earn Marriott Reward Points. Requested early check in as our flight arrived at 10 a.m., but when I called the hotel at 11... More

I stayed for 4 nights with my husband and 2 kids Oct. 12-16th. I had a tough time booking a room due to Family Weekend at Towson University, but wanted this hotel due to its proximity to Johns Hopkins and my in-laws house in Baltimore. I spoke with reservations every night for 4 days trying to get a cancellation. They... More

Our family of four decided to visit our daughter in Towson, MD. I must admit that my preference focuses on Marriott properties (I'm a lifetime Platinum Marriott Rewards member.) This property is proximate to my my daughter's residence, so I made an online reservation for a two bedroom weekend rental. I telephoned the hotel three weeks in advance to ask... More
