Residence Inn Aberdeen at Ripken Stadium

We have stayed here more than a dozen times (we even stayed on the Courtyard side once). It is a great hotel with a nice staff, and we have been pleased each time with the level of service. It's not so fun when there are the sports teams there as they tend to dominate everything, but my family will continue to return here.

Mildew. Cracked walls. Torn carpet. At least the staff was friendly? This place is so run down. It’s in need of a major update. Both bathrooms in our suite smelled like mildew. The couch was stained in several spots. If I had to guess, I’d say the carpet is 20 years old. I am struggling to understand how a hotel that charges $300+ a night can operate this way. Our kitchen was missing a toaster, the bedroom was missing the clock radio, there were only two spoons for the kids’ cereal. The lobby and bar areas are nice, but possibly the only part of the hotel given TLC. Something that was odd was the AC in the hallway was blowing like a polar vortex. It was also black in the vents. Come on, guys.

Room outdated, carpet coming up in bedroom, room did not feel clean, check-in lady nice but did not inform there would not be any cleaning / or restocking of towels in room over the two days we stayed. Check out lady was a bit rude. Breakfast was fair, typical hotel breakfast. Beautiful view outside the window.

Convenient to I-95. Disappointed in breakfast choices and freshness of items.

My stay here was mixed. great location, right near a stadium, felt safe and I was there with my senior dog off season so both hotels were very quiet. This is a Marriott Courtyard attached to a Marriott Residence. they give you a special door key that lets you in on both sides, the parking lot is on the COURTYARD side and it was raining - so I appreciated that key very much. Firstly, I met the housekeeping staff and they were lovely but unfortunately I do feel the standards have to be raised. I always bring Lysol wipes with me because I travel a lot and I’ve had some very unpleasant surprises upon check in, so now with covid it’s just a must. I was doing my wipe down of the surfaces and discovered what looked like instant potato flakes coming off the front edge of the dining table in the kitchen of my suite. The top was more or less clean but there was dried something (hopefully food) on the chairs as well. There was also poop in the toilet when I opened the lid, which shocked me. That’s actually not a first for me, but I think it’s only happened one other time. not a great first impression. However other than that the suite appeared to be clean, kitchen was well stocked. something was wrong with the HVAC unit and it was very noisy and this is where the story shifts. A lovely kind woman named Christy came in from engineering and fixed it immediately! Then in the morning Miss Evelyn was a ray of sunshine that made me feel great abt the hotel by the time I left. So overall ok!

As a very picky traveler…
