Located 25 minutes northeast of
Baltimore in the suburb of White Marsh, this 127-room chain hotel doesn’t have
much personality, but it’s a popular budget choice among families and business
travelers. Highlights include a heated outdoor pool, free breakfast buffet, and
local shuttle service. The immediate area has a strip-mall feel, but it’s close
to shops, corporate offices, and I-95. Those looking for more bells and
whistles should consider the Hilton Garden Inn next door, which has an indoor
pool and restaurant.
Scene
A generic but comfortable chain hotel outside of Baltimore
Opened in 1997,
this suburban chain hotel was the first inn built in White Marsh. From the
outside, it looks like your standard Hampton Inn --
a beige and red brick building with the red Hampton Inn logo. The hotel is a bit too far outside
Baltimore to appeal to city-goers, but a number of corporate offices are
nearby, so business travelers are common. Families also flock here for the free
breakfast buffet, heated outdoor pool, and affordable suites with sofa beds.The spacious yellow-walled lobby was
renovated in 2009 and features a mash-up of purple, green, and red furniture.
When combined with the busy, red-patterned carpeting and cream tile floors, all
the colors start to feel like overkill but the furniture is at least
contemporary. With no minibars, restaurant, or
convenience store, there’s no food to be found at this Hampton Inn after
breakfast time (other than the 24-hour coffee station in the lobby). Guests in
search of food and drink can walk to the Hilton Garden Inn next door, which
features and 24-hour sundry shop and a restaurant with limited hours.
Location
A 30-minuve drive from Baltimore in a suburban strip-mall neighborhood
Situated right off I-95, this suburban Hampton Inn is
sandwiched between a shopping mall, a strip mall, an IKEA, and a movie theater.
The concrete-filled White Marsh neighborhood is less than picturesque, but
there are plenty of shops and restaurants within walking distance. Corporate
offices, such as Comcast and MedStar, are also less than five minutes away. - 15-minute drive from Martin State Airport
Rooms
Basic rooms and suites with flat-screen TVs, free Wi-Fi, and coffeemakers
Renovated in 2014, the rooms feature the same red, green,
yellow, and purple color scheme found in the lobby, and the wooden furniture is
bland. They also lack mini-fridges and microwaves. On the plus side, the rooms
are clean, fairly spacious, and include flat-screen TVs, free Wi-Fi, and basic
coffeemakers. Guests can choose from rooms with a king, queen, or two double beds. Suites with sofa beds are also available; some have mini-fridges. Both smoking and non-smoking options are available.
Features
Outdoor pool, fitness room, free breakfast buffet, and business center
The first floor is home to a modest fitness center (with
only three cardio machines and some medicine balls), heated outdoor pool (open seasonally), a patio
with a fire pit, business center, and guest laundry room. The lobby area also features
a dining room where the buffet breakfast is served -- a full range of bacon,
eggs, waffles, and pastries are available. Other perks include free parking, a
free shuttle to nearby shops and businesses, free weekday newspapers, and “on the run” breakfast bags
(weekdays only). In the summer the hotel hosts free Wednesday night barbecues with hamburgers, hotdogs, and snacks
(Memorial Day through Labor Day).
