As a platinum member of Marriott, I come to expect certain basic things when checking into a hotel, wireless internet in the rooms being one of them. This hotel is conveniently located off I-95 north of Baltimore and is within a block of many chain restaurants and shopping. There's a Bally Total Fitness nearby which is a big plus for me.
The hotel has the standard Residence Inn amenities; free breakfast, manager's reception Monday-Wednesday and free laundry (a pleasant surprise). I paid $165 per night mid week which was relatively high but I was on company travel so I really didn't care.
My biggest gripe is the fact that there is no wireless internet in the rooms. What hotel in this day and age has no wireless internet? As a frequent user of my iPad, I prefer wireless over LAN and this was a big inconvenience. I felt like going to Best Buy and purchasing a $50 router for them as a courtesy. The staff were generally friendly and the rooms were the usual oversized suites that one comes to expect from the Residence Inn brand.
