Wingate by Wyndham Baltimore BWI Airport

4/10 Poor

"Had to change room’s mattress was very dirty will not stay again"

Holiday Inn Baltimore BWI Airport by IHG

6/10 Okay

"I know that it is a busy and convenient location but the hotel is old and it is time for an update to change the smelly carpet and old, hard mattresses. We paid for and requested a double bed, but had to sleep in a king room with a pull out sofa. The staff was very helpful and apologetic and tried to place us in what were considered the best rooms available, but the room was outdated, the mattress was very old that you could feel all of the springs and the ac was on the Fritz. The ac temp could not be adjusted at all or the heat would come on, so the only temperature was ice cold. My mom and I each had 2 extra blankets and were still cold. It was just awful! Overall the decently cleaned rooms and the amazing staff made this a ok stay."

Days Inn by Wyndham Baltimore Inner Harbor

2/10 Terrible

"Check in was a nightmare we waited an hour in an unconditioned lobby for the staff to figure out an error on their end resulting in us being overcharged. It was so hot that my two children and I stepped outside to let my husband handle it. Baby roaches were all over the front steps, so we went back in and sat in the heat. The 7th floor smelled of animal urine. The tub in the room backed up resulting in cool stagnant water while showering . The room phone was broken. The wall AC WAS SOOOO LOUD! It woke us up each time it cut back on. One of the bed linens had brown stains all over the white comforter. Check out was equally as miserable. The day of check out we were charged two separate totals for the one room we were in. All likely due to the same error that occurred at check in. (The lady deleted the information attached to hotel.com that is apparently a big NO NO, resulting in cards being charged over and over. We have now frozen the card and called our bank. As I sit here at 630pm after check out at 0700am I recieved ANOTHER notification from the bank that the hotel that was PAID IN FULL at check in it attempting to charge me AGIAN!! The pool and restaurant were closed and have been for sometime with no real ETA on opening. Breakfast minimal and stale at best. Stale muffins left open to air, cereal, and plain bread or a bagel with a toaster. BUYER BEWARE!!"

La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham DC Metro Capital Beltway

2/10 Terrible

"I never stayed there I called to cancel my reservation while traveling on 95 north because we wanted to go father north right after i made it. The phone number on the reservation desk was out of order, the other number to the manager i left a voicemail no one called me back They really don’t care about customers! Called several times… now with my Credit card company"
