"The hotel was amazing, super happy with everything. The only thing is the parking although we have to pay for it, make sure to pay right away as they check and you will get a violation right away."
Aloft by Marriott BWI Baltimore Washington International Airport
4/10 Poor
"My first room the toilet wasn’t working. Got moved to a 2nd room and the shower had a terrible leak, and no more rooms were available because the hotel was booked solid. I had to listen to the shower dripping all night for 3 nights. However the staff was very friendly and accommodating."
"No housekeeping for 5 days, in spite of daily requests and assurances that the room would receive attention. Came to the room to take away the towels, but didn’t replenish the same number, so every night we had to call to request towels. One day just left the clean towels in a sack in the bathroom; another day when we requested to have the beds made they just dumped a pile of clean sheets on the coffee table. Terrible service."
"I didn't realize the property wasn't near restaurants. The floors needed sweeping. The only thing I truly didn't like was that I requested a placard to hang on my door, because I don't like anyone coming into my room during my stay. So I always request 2 beds. I was rolling cleaning only happens on request and I didn't need a placard. I come back and my room is cleaned!!!!! So I go to the desk immediately and complain and stressed that I didn't want anyone coming back into my room. They apologized and said they will pass the word on. Next day on my way out, I see the cleaning lady and I say please do not clean my room. I come back and low and behold my room is cleaned!!!!! Now I'm pissed, because I disinfect to my liking and I don't want anyone in my room!!! Then I look and see a placard hanging on one of the doors!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"Room was clean and slightly oversized which was nice as we had 4 in the room. Hotel has alot of charm, but definitely is alot to maintain. The location was convenient to Camden, but weather was bad so we did not go to the game. Valet parking worked well."
"Location is convenient to the attractions of the Inner Harbor and the room was large, clean and the bed was comfortable. On the other hand, the elevators and Internet did not work well at times and the ownership / management philosophy here seems to be "do as little as possible / spend as little as possible." There is serious deferred maintenance as evidenced by rotting wooden exterior trim and peeling paint. Our bathtub had a significant drip that had obviously been going on a long time as the bathtub was stained. The breakfast could have been nice, except food choices were limited and food was not restocked on a timely basis. (It seemed that a certain quantity of bacon and sausage was cooked each morning and when that was gone, there was none available for people eating later.) Overall, we made the best of our three night stay, but would probably not return until we were sure of a better maintained place with a caring management and staff. We do not recommend this place at this time!"
"The smell was terrible, the pool water was neither heated nor clean, and the room was not clean either. I would not recommend this place. The corridor constantly smelled like weed, and the staff did not seem to care."
