Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is perfectly situated in a historic area, making it easy to access from BWI airport and close to the CAF Theater festival. The rooms are in need of upgrades, especially the beds and coffee makers; however, those on the upper floors with balconies offer a nice touch. The service includes wedding services and newspaper delivery, enhancing the overall experience. While the dining options are limited, the location offers proximity to battlefields and a historic area. The hotel lacks some modern facilities but compensates with its historical charm.
My stay at the hotel was truly a mix of great experiences and some areas that could be improved. The rooms were cozy and well-equipped with a spa tub, fireplace, and all necessary amenities; however, the coffee makers could use an upgrade. The balcony added a nice touch to the room. The service, including wedding services and newspaper delivery, was top-notch. The location, being in an important historic area close to battlefields, was just perfect. The dining offered healthy dishes but could have had more variety. The facilities were excellent overall.
The hotel has a great location, close to historical sites and the CAF Theater festival. The rooms on the upper floors need upgrading, especially the beds, but having a spa tub and fireplace is a nice touch. The service, although lacking wedding services and newspaper delivery, was satisfactory. The dining experience with grilled fish was enjoyable. Overall, a good value for the money.
