I live in southern Maryland. My sister was scheduled to have minor surgery - at 5:00 a.m. - at the hospital, three blocks away from the hotel. That said, I had no intention of leaving southern Maryland at 4 something in the a.m., so decided to make a reservation in the immediate area of the hospital. VERY beautiful interior: lobby, rooms (I want to remodel my bathroom like theirs; very nice), and the dining area. The front-desk personnel (ladies) were very groomed/attractive and professional. Although the hotel is located in the heart of downtown, it's on a street that every-so slightly out-of-the-way and blends in with the other high buildings (apartments, office buildings, etc.), but safe and clean. I definitely recommend (and I still want that bathroom design - lol)!!!
