Overall very pleasant
The property was nice, check-in was easy, and the room was beautiful especially the bathroom. I wish when we checked in, someone showed us how to open the room door. We had to have a very nice couple who lived there, show us. I also thought it was odd that the door to get to the 4th floor from the car garage was unlocked all the time. You need a code or key to use the elevator and for most other doors, but not that one. It just didn’t seem safe for people on the 4th floor. Parking was a little pricey (almost $40), but overall it was a very pleasant stay.

Omgggg is all I can say!! I was a little skeptical because of the price and I am huge on reviews , which weren’t bad. This place is so underrated!! We were supposed to stay for one night and before check out I booked another night ! Spacious, comfortable, super clean! They have everything you need in the kitchen.. the balcony in the room. I just loved celebrating my birthday that weekend ( July 12-14), so glad I booked there. Anytime I’m in Maryland and near this area … BOOKED!!

Really enjoyed my stay here except for a couple of things. When I first got into my room it felt a bit warm. Turns out the door to the balcony was ajar. While I was trying to close it, I noticed caution tape tied to the balcony (just hanging there loosely). When I checked out, the person in the office seemed confused about it too.
