BWI Hilton is like many airport hotels I have visited. Heavily visited. As a result there is some degree of evidence in the wear and tear of the hotel. But fares far better than many have been....the lobby is not very grandiose comparative to other full service Hilton's nor compared to some of the other local properties (Marriott, Sheraton both have nicer feel when you arrive).

I found the room to be slightly above average, typical furniture that many of the Hilton's contain. One thing I immediately did not like was the placement of the desk in relation to TV. Just a personal preference, I like to be able to watch TV while working.....and it did not twist far enough for me to easily do that....more of a sideways glance.

The gym facilty they have is very good, far better than majority of Full Service Hiltons. They have a couple tv's that you can watch as well as the TV's on the cardio equipment. Very much I like....was surprised at how nice it was.........and wish more of the Hilton's would have a gym like this one.

The hotel staff is what makes the hotel stand out. Particularly impressed by the individual that ran the shuttle service. Quite friendly and helpful, he happily took me to a couple places where I needed to attend meetings, and of course back and forth to airport. This saved me some money on a cab and probably more importantly he knew where to go...The hotel is a bit difficult to locate...and when going to meetings I was able to answer emails till we got where I needed to go. I love that.......

Lastly the proximity to airport (many others in area are the same) is something that is quite advantageous on a short trip.....

Food at the property was ok. As a gold member I was disappointed the Executive Lounge was not open on Friday evening or all day Saturday.......they don't see value in opening it for the HH members then..........???? That was the largest drawback for me, though that won't apply to all others it does signal they don't really expect weekend travellers..........which I think is an oversight. One thing they did do is give me breakfast coupons, however again as a Gold member I typically get these anyway.

Overall though I would visit again, particularly if in middle of week to the immediate vicinity.

I always make it a point to stay at the BWI Hilton whenever I'm in the area. Besides the facility being exceptionally clean, the staff is extremely friendly and truly interested in ensuring that everything about your stay is good. Being a Diamond club member, I especially appreciate the use of the Executive Floor Lounge. The food is always great and Alva's warm greetings whenever i agao there makes me feel truly welcome and a real member of the Hilton family.

My one complaint about the hotel was that the signage from the road, and even directly outside of the building was almost non-existent. No signs on the building, no logos anywhere, just one un-lit sign at the driveway of the building. Honestly, it wasn't until I guessed it was the right building and *walked into the lobby* that I saw Hilton logos around the building and knew I was in the right place. I thought that was really weird.

The hotel itself was nice though, everything was new and clean, and the staff was friendly.

You do not find many Hilton's with full
Buffets anymore. They also picked me up
From Avis. I highly recommend fellow travelers to follow suit on this nice property. They sweet shop also had really cheap prices. My ride to the airport was quick and comes every 15 minutes.
