• The beds were very comfortable and the room was spacious.

“The balcony view of the College Campus (Towson University) was awesome. The balcony was spacious and the full kitchen was a plus. The parking was extremely convenient and all of the hotel staff were extremely helpful and nice. We will definitely choose this hotel again when staying in the area.”

“This hotel is a decent hotel to stay at if you are looking for space more than quality. The amenities are older and need some work. All in all, I would rate this hotel as a 2.5 star establishment.”

• An apartment style room for 45 dollars. Boo Ya.
• There was weird moss growing on the balcony. ONLY problem. And no Pool.

“Amazing room and place for the price. Balcony was a little unkempt, but what else to expect from somewhere you can get that good a price. Room was HUGE, kitchen etc awesome. Staff very friendly, clearly invested in having repeat customers..”

“Nice hotel with very large rooms. Our room had kitchen, common area and two bedrooms. Great value. The room itself was nice with new furniture. However the common areas (lobby and hallways) could use updating.”

• The room was much nicer than I was expecting, two flat screen TVs and a kitchen was more than enough.
• The bed was very uncomfortable, I think the pillows need an upgrade.

“The hotel was right in the middle of Towson, and had a surprisingly nice view from the hotel balcony. Two big televisions and a really well decorated bathroom and bedroom. I will definitely be staying there again next year.”

• The room was large with all the amenities. Excellent restaurant on site too!
• Our floor was really noisy the first night.

“The rooms offered several different sleeping accommodations which was perfect for our stay. We had a large refrigerator and microwave oven which came in handy. The hotel has an excellent restaurant. Must get the crab cakes!! We were minutes from St. Joseph's Medical Center where we spent most of our time. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. Would definitely stay there again?”

• Location is good.
• This is not a three star hotel, as represented. It borders on fraud to say that it is.

“This hotel should have its entire HVAC system replaced. The noise was deafening in the two rooms I was given, and throughout the facility. I was not able to sleep, and the hotel staff pretended that everything was normal, saying after all it's an old hotel. Marriott should be ashamed to have its name connected with this hotel.”

• The lobby was beautiful and location great.
• The room was dirty and sub par. Air conditioner broken.

“The location of this hotel is great for those wanting to go to Baltimore without having to stay in the city. The parking situation is free but extremely tight and cramped. The room was very disappointing despite the large size. Air conditioner broken and general sense of unseemliness.”

• The room was a great one BR suite. Very spacious and comfortable.

“The hotel room was very nice and comfortable. The only problem was that check-in was an hour later than what the reservation and the Marriot Website said, meaning we had to wait in the lobby for an hour especially after the room was not ready at check-in time as well.”

“It appeared to be used as a dorm. The hotel lobby and restaurants seemed to be clean and neat but the room's appearance was much to be desired. Not what I expected from a Marriott facility.”

• Each room is a suite.
• It was a little worn.

“Right in the heart of downtown, across from the University, this hotel provides ample space for families and guests who hate the standard hotel room. Breakfast buffet starts at 6:30 AM and has enough variety for all. It is slightly worn but no more so than other hotels in the area. I'd recommend it on the space aspect alone.”

• It badly needs renovation; attachments are literally falling off the wall.

“As always Marriott employees are fabulous. We needed a rollaway and it was there in less than 5 minutes. You can't beat the space; it's the size of a one bedroom apartment. The hotel itself is walking distance to movies and restaurants and stores.”

“Hotel with huge rooms (at least 800sqft). In the middle of a major renovation. While the rooms are clean, they are OLD and WORN. After renovation (late November 2006) this will be a real gem.”

• Received an upgraded room.
• Room was rather shopworn. Extreme noise from carpet installation.

“The quality of the hotel falls a bit shy of the typical experience of a Marriott property. The room was a bit shopworn and in need maintenance. Although amenities such as a kitchen were included, supplies for dish washing were not (common to Residence Inn by Marriott properties). The hotel was installing new carpet in rooms. The hammering and pounding woke me far in advance of my planned hour leaving me rather tired during the day.”

• The staff were friendly, polite, and accommodating.
• There was no pool a big must have with children, the parking situation was horrendous.

“The only thing good about this hotel was the friendly staff and that there was a kitchen w/ washer and dryer in the room. My major dissatisfaction was that there was no pool, and the parking in the parking garage was terrible. The spaces were too small, it was not very well lit, there were overhead sewer pipes just a few feet above our heads, it was just terrible to say the least. ”

• The amenities are nice.
• The front desk staff was horrible.

“This stay was for our wedding anniversary and we were not impressed. We were given the smallest room with a broken window after letting the front desk know it was our anniversary and that I was a silver elite Marriott member. After we switched to a better room, we ordered room service which came an hour late because they forgot our last name and room number. The supervisor was apologetic about the room service problem and gave us free breakfast which was really good. I was not too happy to find that the hotel is owned by a local university and that students live on the lower floors. Maybe that is why the service was not up to par and the rooms were not renovated. The only change to the rooms that I could tell from the last time we were there were the new sheets. The pillow covers are too small for the pillows. They stuffed these huge pillows into these standard size covers making it very uncomfortable to sleep. Basically, I was very disappointed.”

• I enjoyed absolutely nothing about this hotel.
• There were ants crawling all over the furniture.

“I brought my wife and newborn son to the hotel to spend 2 nights. This was THE WORST HOTEL STAY ever. The rooms were very old the tiles in the bathroom shower had mildew stains, and there was hair all over the floor. But the icing on the cake was that while sitting on the couch feeding our baby my wife discovered hundreds of ants crawling all over the coffee table, the carpet, and other furniture. We checked out of the hotel after one night. This was the worst experience for me and my family.”
