Village Inn Maryland

Mostly comfortable. Good location. The rooms could use a good steam clean and a coat of paint. The bathroom was mostly clean, but there was a very strong smell of old urine. The sheets and towels were clean. The staff was very helpful. I just think that for the amount paid for the night, it could have been cleaner. I appreciated the free wifi and having a refrigerator and microwave in the room. I would like to have had a hair dryer.

I had approached this motel [very hard to find] and as there was a short line of customers to approach the outside front desk [no lobby access] I was able to see a room being prepared for the next visitors. If you like 50 year old motel rooms that don't appear to have been renovated for years [like the outside areas as well], you might like this place. When I approached the window to book a room, I found out the price was almost 50% more than the Best Western a few miles away, and unlike the Best Western, the Village Inn had no discounts for AAA, Military or Seniors. Someone wrote this place was a "Hidden Gem". Sure, but it's only a paste/glass gem! As you drive into the parking area, before you even get out of the car, take a good look around. If you see something you like, then by all means don't look further! We went back & registered at the Best Western. Not only were they much cheaper, the mattresses were wonderful, and the breakfast buffet was great and "all you want to eat".

This Motel is simple and not fancy. This motel is in the “from the old days” category. However, I found the rooms to have upgraded with good furniture and a very comfortable king bed. The television has a reasonable amount of viewing selection. The bathroom are simply but clean and fresh. The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. I felt safe and comfortable. We have all seen old and rundown Motels from yesteryear. This has considerable age BUT very well maintained.

The property looks like it's ready to be condemned and when I walked in to see a massive stain on the bed comforter, then noticed how the room was left dirty, I walked back out. Needless to say I was not going to stay there with my wife, a 6-year-old and 1-year-old daughter. Also DO NOT book with Travelocity. They refused to issue a refund because they said the hotel told them they couldn't. The only thing the hotel offered to do was to change the comforter. Not a new room, no upgrade, nothing. Frankly, I'm glad because there is a Quality Inn literally next door that has secured entry and doesn't look like it's used deal drugs or renting rooms by the hour. DO NOT GO HERE unless your are desperate to have a place to sleep. Oh, and it was $450 for three nights.

OK, OK you might not want to bring the wife and kids. On the outside it looks like a U Store It facity. BUT inside the rooms is a different story. King sized bed, huge room, long desk with several chairs, microwave, refrigerator. Impeccably clear, great bathroom with wolk in shower. If you are a bussiness traveler, why stay at overpriced downtown hotels when you could stay here. I was in town on business, did work with several clients and co-workersw in the room at the extended desk, it is on the wall so people can't sit around it, but three of us easily worked with a central computer. Frankly, if your wife values value over exterior looks, again this is the place. In spite of its industrial exterior, the rooms are charming, spacious, and well appointed. The two hundred or so bucks a night you save can buy her a great dinner downtown. I am a 67 year old man, so understand my perspective, a businesswoman or young couple would definately enjoy this place, neighborhood is very safe, 2 minutes from the freeway, 1/2 hour from BWI. I am so sorry it took me this long to find this hidden gem. Goodby to gouging airport hotel fees or downtown Annapolis overpriced rooms a third of the size of this one.
