I was in the Baltimore area for a two-week class and invited by 79-year old mom to come for the last week as she loves this part of the country. The location of the hotel could not have been better with the mall in sight, and plenty of choices for lunch and dinner meals. The only room avaiable with two queen beds when I made the reservation was a handicapped room, but it was a large room, clean, but the air conditioning was loud, and the bathroom had both trimming tiles loose along with some wallpaper. Mom came during the second week, and there was a hotel fire while my mom was in the hotel and I was at class. Quite extensive water damage to one side of the hotel, and a lot of noise from the clean up crews, continuing into the early evening some days. Hotel management did come to the room when the alarm went off to escort my mother down three flights of stairs; however, with the temp in the 100's, you would have thought they would have been more accomodating when asked if she could borrow a pool chair to sit in for the hours it took for the fire department to clear the hotel after the fire. She was told they couldn't take the chairs from the pool area so everyone stood for hours outside. When our hot coffee holders were thrown away by housekeeping (those little paper rings allowing you to hold hot paper coffee cups), and my mom asked for some more from the housekeeping staff in the hallway, she was told to contact the supervisor if she wanted some - miraculously, when we returned from dinner, additional cup holders were in our room. A lacrosse tournament group was in the hotel the least weekend and we were exposed to some loud goings on at times, mostly in the parking lot. It also appears this group left quite a bit of trash in the parking lot (empty large beer box, discarded popcorn box, empty soda bottles) strewn about the property, and these remained for at least four days, as they were still there when we checked out. Perhaps the staff should do a once a day clean-up around the property for discarded trash from automobiles?

The location of this hotel is perfect. It is only about three minutes from the Arrundel Mills outlet mall, the Egyptian themed Cinemark movie theater, Dave and Busters, and the brand new Live Casino. And best of all the hotel offers a 24 hour, schedule free shuttle to all of these great entertainment venues and the airport free of charge. The room was very modern with a mini fridge and microwave. The sheets on the bed were extremely soft and fresh smelling. The breakfast was quite good as well; a hot crock pot full of real oatmeal, a large selection of baked goods, yogurt, eggs, sausage, biscuits and gravy, waffles, juices, and coffees.

I stayed at this hotel for 5 nights at the start of July with my good lady and 2 teenage daughters.

The hotel is situated beside 2 other hotels and is a short walk from Arundel Mills shopping mall.

Check in was quick and the reception staff (and all other staff) were friendly and inviting throughout the stay.

The room and bathroom were a standard size. I liked that a fridge and microwave are supplied in every room. The room and other areas of the hotel were all clean.

The beds (2 queens), were very comfortable.

The breakfast was more than adequate, with both hot and cold choices on offer. The make your own waffles were excellent.

It is hard to believe, but they have a laundry room and this is the first one in a hotel that I have found to be absolutely free.

There is a business centre situated behind reception with free internet access, however at the time of our stay, only 1 computer was working.

There are lots (and I mean lots) of places to eat nearby. There is a food hall in the mall and there are a number of other outlets situated on the outskirts of the mall.

All in all, a good hotel which I would happily return to if I was in the area.

I stayed at Hampton Inn and was amazed with the cleanliness and well maintained property. I was there while they were renovating the hotel didn't even realize it was going on, since the staff and renovation crew were so diligent in staying quiet and out of sight.

It is walking distance to the large Arundel Mills Mall and even the new casino!

It is an oasis in the middle of the hustle & bustle area, but set back behind a grove of trees separating it from mall!
