Everything was great with one exception, during our stay there was toddler swimming classes being taught in the pool. My kids went down to the pool multiple times but were told they couldn’t swim because the pool was being used for swim classes. They were finally able to swim at 10:00pm. Why advertise a pool when it can’t be used by the hotel guests.

Great location and pet-friendly!

Great hotel in a very nice area of town with lots of dining and shopping options, and close to DC and Baltimore. Great for traveling with pets, especially if you stay on the ground floor with the patio slider access to the courtyard to take your dog out! Will stay again!

This place honestly is worth way more than what I paid. As soon as you walk in you can smell how clean it is. Front staff is absolutely amazing. One elevator is not working but there is another one that works great. That’s literally all I can say is wrong but like I said, there is another one there that works. Room was clean everywhere. There’s plenty of stuff to do in the area also.
