I needed somewhere to stay while working on a school project the hotel is 4 minutes away from Towson University. The manager was very friendly and helpful and the room was clean, warm, and cozy. The place is family run and well maintained for the price. Definitely recommend!
My stay here was a good one. Room was small and cozy, clean, and had everything I needed. Nice tucked away motel and great location. Staff was professional and kind. I will definitely be back when in the area. Thanks guys.
This place is not fancy. But. It was clean - smelled and looked clean and no bedbugs. The ac and heat worked. The sheets were clean and comfy. The pillows were ok. Tv worked, but the fridge did not - or maybe it wasn't turned to cold or plugged in. We didn't investigate. This is a basic, but decent place to spend the night. I would stay here again.
This motel is a nice unassuming oasis in an area that is usually pretty expensive. The two bed units had plenty of room and were comfortable. The price is affordable. The owners were a very nice couple and very helpful. I would definitely stay here again.
It looks a little sketchy from the outside but looks can be deceiving. It's a pretty good deal if you're needing an affordable room. Our room was suffiently clean and pleasant. The owner was very friendly. I was worried after reading some TripAdvisor reviews but they must have been under old ownership. Not for you if you want pool but the TV channel selection was better than a lot of other similarly priced places.
Very clean room, a lot of channels to watch on cable tv and mini fridge/microwave works perfectly and very good a/c I would stay there again
For the price it is actually not a bad place. The owner is a nice Indian couple. The rooms were very clean. No complaints. Free wifi. Nice tv and all the channels.
Friendly and honest staff, clean bathroom, nicely sized mini fridge too! Stayed here for MD Sheep and Wool festival, just a 30 minute drive and mostly a straight shot. Ac/heat worked great, and water temperature was surprisingly impressive considering price. Would stay here again next year!
While backpacking through to Baltimore, second to last night was spent here. Compared with all the other local places, this is absolutely the best value. The rooms were clean and they even had nice flat screen TVs that some of the bigger names don't even have yet. Service was the best; the proprietor was gracious enough to help us with our laundry after six days out on the trails, and was kind enough to hold a room for us when no other hotels would do so. Even though he could have been booked earlier, he kept his word and we had a lovely stay.
Very quiet, no people hanging out anywhere, very good management, the room is perfect, has microwave and mini refrigerator. I stayed an extra 3 days because of the comfort, prices were great also!! Right in the heart of downtown Towson, great location!!
