“No room at the Inn! Buyer beware!”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed October 28, 2012

I can't actually comment on the standard of this hotel as we didn't get to stay here. I booked this hotel six weeks in advance for one (Thursday) night & paid in full an advance non-refundable rate. I specified on booking that we would be arriving around 9.30p.m. We were arriving after an 8 hour flight from the UK & after picking up a hire car. We didn't want to travel far in a strange car in a strange city at night when jet-lagged, so this hotel seemed perfect for us. However on arrival at 9.30p.m. we were told that the hotel was full, along with all the other hotels in the local area. They had therefore booked us in to a Holiday Inn in Laurel which is 18 miles away & in the wrong direction for where we had to be the following morning. The staff were as helpful as they could be in this situation. We were given a formula letter with our names hand-written in explaining the situation, so we got the impression that this overbooking happens quite often. The room rate at this hotel included breakfast but the room we were given at the Laurel hotel didn't & there was no offer to cover this cost for us, despite the inconvenience we had suffered. The hotel in Laurel was fine when we got there but we really felt we were put into the dangerous situation that we had hoped to avoid, in having to drive so far at night in an unfamiliar car & location when exhausted from travelling. We have stayed in a number of Holiday Inn's, Express's & Crown Plaza's all around the world & have always been happy with the service & accommodation provided. I have also been a Priority Club member for over 20 years. We will not be staying again with this hotel group as we will always be afraid that this will happen again. I'm not a serial complainer (see my other reviews) but I do want to make people aware that even if they have booked & paid in advance in full, they are not guaranteed a room!

Thank you for your recent comments on Trip Advisor. We sincerely apologize for any inconvience we may have caused you regarding this matter. This is not typical of our hotel. Unfortuniately due to the high occupancy of our hotel and the area being sold out, we had to relocate some of our guest to a comparable location. We would like for you to please contact us so that we may make this matter right by you.

“Quick one night stay”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed October 27, 2012

This hotel was awesome. The room was nice and clean. The location was easy to get to. The customer service was top notch. I had questions about the shuttle service, and Atalaya, was extremely helpful! I would love to stay here again when I fly out of BWI.

“Great location to BWI airport service needs improvements”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed October 27, 2012

First, this hotel is about 1.3 miles from the central car rental location which makes is very convenient for an overnight after a long trip or if you arrive late.
There is also a Denny's restaurant attached to the hotel for a quick bite. The front desk could have been a bit friendly and welcoming specially for a priority club member. I typically get acknowledge by a free upgrade or just a welcoming bag with a warm cookie and a fruit. None of that there.
My room is spacious, clean, and quiet. i was able to get a good night sleep after a long day.
In the morning during breakfast, the choice were slim and they ran of coffee may be because There was a convention or a large meeting going that day. This suggestion is for the management : "Please plan ahead and make sure your guests get coffee next time". I heard a lot of complaints for some of the guests because of that.

“Nice Business Hotel”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed October 26, 2012

I stay at a lot of hotels every year and it’s always appreciated for staff to go beyond the basics. They were helpful at check in and offered to get my Rewards number and had a nice treat to take to your room. On this trip, I did not have a vehicle and they offered free service to the Mall and train station. Staff was helpful on all counts and the room was a basic HI room, but clean and had free internet. Breakfast was done well also.

Room Tip: Stop by the Mall and Casino for dinner...

“Good Room and Breakfast, Issues at Front Desk”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed October 14, 2012

Check in was challenging. I arrived in the evening after an exhausting flight across the International Date Line. I needed to extend my stay one night, and as a Priority Club member, I thought this would be easy as long as they had a room available. The attendant was an older woman with a British accent who kept fiddling with the keyboard and telling me that in order to do this I would have to physically move to another room. This made no sense to me, and I told her to just book me in any room where I could stay two consecutive nights. I was so tired I slumped over the counter and put my head down for a while until she finally agreed to let me stay in the same room for two nights. She made it seem like a huge favor. Huge pain in asparagus. Breakfast service and coffee excellent, however dining room and lobby TVs have CNN news all the time which is obnoxious. I saw a desk clerk change from sports to CNN so he could watch from the front desk. But it is clean and the stuff works.
