My mother was on vacation in Ocean City, MD with her boyfriend. She was congested and had shortness of breath. She went to the emergency room in Berlin, MD and then became critically ill with pneumonia and was put in a clinically induced coma on a ventilator. I will spare you the details of my mother's medical journey. This is only relevant to you because she was transferred to a different hospital close to your hotel. Obviously, we were terrified and panicked as my mother was giving a 70-80% mortality rate in her critical state, so looking up hotel reviews was the farthest thing on our minds. (BIG mistake) We quickly found your Nottingham/White Marsh, MD location and it was booked for the week. I should also mentioned that we were incredibly blessed by someone who covered the cost of our hotel accommodations for this week. Now where do I begin with your excuse of an accommodation... Let's start with the many many smells. Sure, you can't control guests' personal hygiene, but you'd think there'd be a way to control the overwhelming smell of marijuana. I should also mention that my aunt and uncle got a room down the hall from us for a shorter amount of time and I'm not sure what died in their room but it smelled worse than our 2 rooms. But, hey! Nothing a little Febreeze and a cracked window can't fix. After all, this is EXACTLY what I want to do after spending 12 hours in an ICU with my mom everyday. Not including my aunt and uncle down the hall, there were 5 people in our party among 2 rooms. One evening, 2 of us went down to the front desk to get more towels. Yes, we took our current 5 dirty towels with us. (As you know, it's your policy that you will not give us new towels unless we first bring you our old ones.) The girl at the front desk reassured me that she could only give us 4 towels even though we were turning in 5... Even if she had more than 4 clean (which she didn't) she could only give us 4 towels total. Love that. Let's move on to the cockroaches. The first couple nights we killed a couple water bugs. Sure, gross, but nothing terrible. Then one evening, we came back to our room, turned on the lights and cringed as the cockroaches fled from the light. We stepped on and killed as many as we could. There were at least a dozen. We went down and told the front desk girl. She told us that we could move rooms whenever one becomes available or that she could send maintenance in the following day to spray for bugs. We opted for the maintenance spraying option because heaven knows what your other rooms look and smell like so we didn't take our chances. Sure enough, we walk in the next evening, turn on the lights, and watch as our little cockroach friends scatter. Your probably wondering why we didn't leave your horror hotel. Your strict no refund policy combined with the fact that someone took care of our costs on top of the fact that we're so exhausted after long days in the ICU is the perfect recipe for us to put up with this filth. CANNOT WAIT to check out tomorrow. I could go on about how our room keys would randomly stop working and the singular staff member you have here at any given time would have to personally walk us up to our room and let us in (more than once), but I won't. Or I could talk about how you cancelled one of our rooms because we weren't in there and there was no luggage in there without our consent, but I'll leave that one alone. Especially since we have no clue how you would know that since there's no daily room service so either you stock guests with hallway cameras or you watch guests with cameras in our rooms. This is not the stress my family needs right now. I know that's not your problem, but this Petri dish of a hotel, most certainly is. read more
