Ellicott City Marriott Hotels & Resorts

"This hotel is gorgeous. A luxury hotel at a reasonable price. Absolutely incredible. I deeply want to give more than 3 stars but the food situation was just SO annoying. I stayed for 4 nights and took meals at the hotel. I had to order from the in-hotel restaurant, run up to my room, while it was prepared, and run back down to pick it up. For this pleasure, I was expected to give a tip. (You pay first so I’m not going to take the chance of not tipping and having my food tampered with.) Two nights in a row, I had to go back downstairs a third time bc they forgot an item. Other nights, food wasn’t prepared as I’d requested. The breakfast option was even more disappointing — uninspired chewy bagel (not the good kind of chewy) + watery coffee. Again it’s serve yourself and a tip is expected. The first morning the iced coffee machine was filled with hot coffee. Just not worth it. BUT — if you’re prepared for this and either don’t care or make different eating arrangements, this hotel is top notch. I’ve stayed frequently at a nearby Ritz-Carlton and the lobby, rooms, and amenities at the U of Maryland Hotel are right up there if not better. "

"No complaints at all! Beautiful facility"

"The hotel appeared clean and up to date. The front desk staff was nice and helpful. Only one elevator was working at the time of my stay. 24 hour shuttle to airport and close venues. (Must schedule ahead during certain hours.) Small restaurant on site. Good, low cost breakfast with hot and cold items onnthe buffet. I would stay here again, if in the area."
