The room was excellent, and the staff was as well. Special kudos to Jody behind the desk. The hotel bar /restaurant is fantastic and the bartender, Carlos, was amazing! We had a great time in the bar ringing in the new year.

SpringHill Suites by Marriott Baltimore BWI Airport
Great location within short distance after a Ravens football game with amazing restaurants just across the street. Unsure why hotel decided to charge $5 per night for parking since it's outside downtown. Feels like a cheap way to make more money.
