BWI Airport Marriott

Very nice Marriott. Looks older from the outside but found inside very modern. 2 restaurants in addition to lobby bar. We went to the sports bar. Very large. Lots of tvs. Good wings. Cheap happy hour until 7pm.
Room was very clean. Would say standard club level room on the small side. Basic hotel size and layout.
I saw a review below complaining about no free breakfast buffet. I guess this person doesn’t frequent many non budget hotels. Full service hotels don’t offer free breakfast. But … If you are a Marriott Gold or Platinum member you do get free breakfast here as with all full service Marriott properties. And this property is unique for a US Marriott in that the club lounge is open for breakfast on weekends as well (most marriotts close the lounge on weekends and give you coupons for the restaurant breakfast). Very nice basic buffet with hot and cold breakfast, juice, water, sodas.
The club lounge is also open Sunday-​Thursday evening for snacks and dessert.
Highly recommend.
Also airport shuttle took 10 minutes from getting to lobby to terminal.

Here for a conference room. The restrooms look disgusting… i prob wouldnt recommend this place for my out of town guest because if their lobby bathrooms look like a ⁷⁄₁₁ bathroom, im scared of their roooms. Yikes. But then again, they probably don’t care as im sure they get enough government money to keep their doors open.

I’ve gone to 2 large events at this hotel in the last three months. The last being for NYE. I love the convenience of this hotel and all the ample free parking. Walking in on NYE to the complementary champagne in the lobby was a true treat.
The hotel room was nice, nothing fancy but clean and well appointed. The bed was devine.
Check’in was simple and quick. I would definitely go back to this hotel.

perfect for a quick night close to the airport. Nice staff and quick and easy check in. Rooms were nice and typical of marriott properties.
definitely planning on staying here especially if its a short night

Had a good stay.

Clean, convenient to the area, close to BWI yet still quiet, this hotel is fairly standard Marriott fare. Nothing bad, nothing outstanding.

Stayed at this Marriott many times. It remains consistently reliable during every season.

I stayed here last weekend during my wedding and had a very good experience. First of all, this is one of the nicest hotels in the area, and is by far the nicest Marriott — this is why we got a room block here (and at a pretty good rate!) Working with them for the room block was pretty easy, and they were very accommodating when we dropped off wedding welcome bags earlier in the week. They seemed to be pretty diligent about that — when they learned that one of our guests didn’t get a welcome bag in error they immediately brought it up to her room and apologized.
In terms of the room, I had 1 regular room, 1 jacuzzi suite and a big suite for all of the girls to get ready. This was a LOT of space. At point point there were about 20 – 25 people in there and we were all able to move around. It was all very clean and comfortable and decorated nicely. It was a little weird that the big suite that could hold probably 20+ people for a meeting or whatever would only have a mini fridge and only a single cup coffeemaker. I would think they’d want a larger refrigerator that could hold quite a lot of food, or a coffee pot that could make coffee for a crowd. (Fortunately we brought the latter, or else we would have had a lot of grumpy girls!)
In the jacuzzi suite room the bathroom was HUGE, and the jacuzzi was very clean. It looked rather luxurious. When we came back after our wedding the hotel had left us a couple of small bottles of champagne, a bunch of chocolate covered strawberries, and a cheese and fruit plate. It was really cute! And we were really, really happy to eat every last ounce of cheese on that plate because we were starving.
In terms of food offerings, there’s a «nicer» restaurant called Chesapeake that we didn’t go to and a sports bar called Champions (that you see in a lot of Marriotts, and for which I’ll write a separate review). There’s a bar and a mini Starbucks, and a little «store» that isn’t very big at all (not like the types of gift shops that you’d see in big hotels ordinarily). Room service ends pretty early which presented a problem for us, and there isn’t a lot around that will deliver, so plan accordingly if you’re going to have late night hunger!
Overall I was very happy with this hotel, both with my stay and with working with them. I would definitely recommend them for a wedding block, and as a place to get ready for an event because the suite is so spacious! Just bring your own coffeemaker and have a plan for food after midnight!

I was pretty excited about staying in this hotel, but my experience left much to be desired.
To start, we arrived to check in at 2:35. My email confirmation said check-​in was at 3 pm, so I thought we’d be OK. When we got there the guy at the front desk told me that check-​in wasn’t until 4:00, and they had no rooms to put me in. I was like, no, check-​in is at 3, and I showed him my email confirmation. He disappeared to the back for a while and then when he returned he said that he could give me a room, but it wouldn’t be on the same floor as the other wedding guests. I told him I didn’t care where I was located, and to just give me a room anywhere.
I found this whole exchange to be absurd when I heard from the other guests that they were on multiple different floors (5, 7, 8, and 9) and that one bridesmaid checked in 5 minutes before I did, and the other checked in at 6 am — both with absolutely no problems at all.
The room was clean when we arrived, and the bed was comfortable. However, right after we flushed the toilet we noticed that it was leaking all over the bathroom floor. So for the duration of our stay, every time we flushed the toilet, water would spill out the back. We had to put towels under the toilet to stop the water from spreading.
Also, the pillows at this hotel SUCKED ASS. There were three square pillows on the bed instead of two rectangles, and the first night my husband and I got about 1.5 hours of sleep each because the pillows were so fat and uncomfortable. By the time we left he could barely move his neck to drive home because of how bulky they were.
I was also disappointed that there was no sort of continental breakfast here. Literally every hotel or bed and breakfast that I’ve stayed at has offered SOME FORM of free breakfast. I mean, give me some coffee and a pastry. SOMETHING. ANYTHING. People gotta eat!
One redeeming factor is that there is a mini-​Starbucks in the lobby. They serve a very limited Starbucks menu, but they have espresso and that’s what I needed to help me get on with my day!

This review is more a reflection of the entire Marriott chain, although my bad experiences were had at this hotel.
After my fiancé got in from a flight at BWI late one night, we ended up staying here. We had a meal at Champion’s, the attached restaurant. Not only did we wait forever for our food, but I ended up with FOOD POISONING from an uncooked chicken wrap.
Needless to say, I was throwing up the entire evening and following morning. The front desk staff were apologetic but did nothing to fix this situation. They provided me with Gatorade and allowed us an extended time in the room (I was throwing up constantly– I would have been unable to leave the room anyway).
I filed a claim with corporate when this happened (early March) and only just now received their response: No one else got sick, so sorry. I was not given a partial refund, a credit, or anything of the sort. I got sick in THEIR establishment from THEIR unsafe food, and I still had to pay for the meal which got me sick and my hotel bill?
Unacceptable. I will NEVER stay in a Marriott hotel for the rest of my life.

Break meeting place for large events
Great rooms
Champions service has improved
Staff is excellent
Last night room service dropped the ball– may not try again
Mm

I have stayed in the area many times in the past, never stayed at this particular hotel.
With so many choices in close proximity I would not choose this hotel again.
The hotel itself is very nice and spacious. First impression is of above & beyond customer service, as expected from a hotel charging more than competitors in the area. But when I reflect back on my 1 night stay, I think the little things were missing. I tried to pay the $ 13 and $ 16 (rounded up) for WIFI but for some reason I was not recognized in the system. They put me on phone with Tech support, I waited for a long while and eventually hung up, expecting WIFI or a call back at some point, never happened. Coffee in the morning amounts to paying for it at the Starbucks or breakfast. Breakfast prices over inflated. And! I DO NOT LIKE seeing a tip envelope in my room.

The first impression is the lasting impression and the front desk attendant was not a positive experience. Brittany checked us in and one of my biggest issues is when I place a payment such as a credit card in your hand please give me the same courtesy do not place it on the counter for me to have to pick back up. And then please give me the same service your coworker provides their customer. The other front desk attendant informed of the restaurants on the facility oh well I guess I won’t be giving them business because my attendant felt NO need to be complete and helpful. And then I get to the room and there is an envelope under the tv requesting a tip for the room attendant not impressed with this direction.

3.5 stars
The good:
1. Nice, open lobby.
2. Friendly staff (in my experience, not sure a friend of mine would agree*).
3. Free parking.
The ok:
The rooms. The ceilings were a bit low and the bathroom, minus the marble counter, seemed a bit dated. On the other hand, the bed was quite comfortable and the room had decent climate control.
The bad:
The sports bar, «Champions.» Honestly, I was quite drunk by the time I got here and was too lazy to get a drink here. I am strictly going by what my friends told me. Slow service and not exactly a bastion of beer heaven.
*My friend had a more unfortunate experience at the hotel. Did not factor that into giving this place 3.5 stars.

Lobby was very new and renovated. Front desk was efficient and nice. Once you go up to the rooms though, they were slightly more outdated and the room was freezing upon entering. The heather stunk up the whole room so we just decided to rough it and slightly freeze for the night. Wasn’t bad… chic toiletries especially with soap and stuff. Awesome plus was that even though this was an airport hotel, you couldn’t even hear any of the planes at all.

Stayed here overnight when I missed a flight. I never had to wait for a shuttle. They always seemed to be around. The hotel staff was really professional and helpful. All I did was sleep. In the morning I realized I didn’t have all my toiletries and the brought them up within minutes.
It’s a basic Marriott. Nice building but the services are pretty minimal. The 10^th floor lounge for elite member has very limited hours. It was closed for my entire stay.
I might stay here again if I got stuck at BWI again otherwise I’d probably find an option in the city if you’re planning a longer stay.

Nice lobby. I am a fan of Marriott. This is a great location if you need to be by the airport. Very friendly people. Rooms are nice and clean.

As a frequent traveler I have stayed at numerous Marriott’s. This stay was not up to par with previous stays at this Marriott and other Marriott’s. The one thing that let me down was the pine sol and ammonia smell that welcomed me when I got to my room. That is a Holiday Inn way of cleaning and I have not experienced that at a Marriott before.
On positive note the hotel does have a nice gym with free weights and quality cardio equipment. The hotel parking is free but they do not have valet service. The concierge lounge is very nice and the staff in the lounge are always very helpful. The reception staff has always been courteous and have always went out of the way to make my stay good.

***The rooms are nice at this Marriott, but room rates are occasionally high and its location (a long drive to Baltimore and D.C.) limits its value***
This was my first visit to an airport Marriott in a long time. I have stayed at two Renaissance hotels near airports (part of the Marriott brand) recently and I was not a fan of either hotel. This airport Marriott was pretty nice though. The room was slightly more modern than what I have found at most Marriotts. The bed was comfortable and featured good linen (and a complete bedding set with throw pillows). Chocolates were also on the bed. The bed also came with a very nice and padded headboard.
The room was big too. The bathroom was nice (good shower) and the room temperature was good (the A/​C unit was a tad loud).
I did not really check out the rest of the hotel. The lobby was fine and pretty modern looking. The elevators (especially the brass moldings) could use updating.
The Concierge Lounge (available to Marriott Rewards Gold and Platinum members) was pretty standard and very small (not much variety in seating). Their breakfast featured decent scrambled eggs, big and thick (but just okay) sausage, and an assortment of individual cereal boxes (both sweet and more healthier options), oatmeal, milk, orange juice, and a few bread and breakfast pastry options.
Customer service was good – consistent with the Marriott brand.
Room rates vary here. Room rates can be reasonable, but they can also be quite pricey depending on what is going on in the Baltimore (or BWI Airport) area.
In terms of location, this hotel is pretty close to Baltimore and Washington, D.C., but it is still a bit of a drive to both places and since parking in D.C. is limited and expensive, it might not make sense to drive there.
This BWI Airport Marriott is a good Marriott hotel in terms of the quality of the room. I felt the room was much more modern and nicer than the Baltimore Marriott Inner Harbor at Camden Yards, but that Marriott has an ideal location if you are going to an Orioles or Ravens game (or spending time in Downtown Baltimore). While this Marriott is a good hotel, it is really only a good option if you can find a reasonable room rate and plan on spending most of your time in the area around the BWI Airport.
This BWI Airport Marriott features complimentary parking and it is easy finding an open space.

First off, I haven’t even stayed here; however, the experience of booking a reservation at this hotel has been my worst experience ever in all my travels and staycations.
I am attending a Marine Corps Ball here and was told to book my room here. When I learned that, I checked their reservations and the nightly rate was $ 119.00 + tax. Unfortunately, I did not have my credit card with me at the time and wasn’t able to book the room. The next day when I tried making reservations… they only had concierge level rooms available for $ 239.00! I called the reservation line and told them that there was a rate for $ 119.00 yesterday or if they can give me a military/​government rate. They told me that they don’t have any rooms at that rate and the only rate was the $ 239.
2 weeks later (night before the ball), I learned that rooms were available at $ 129.
Going forward… Marriott will no longer be my #1 pick nor my preference hotel chain.
