Compare 5 airports near Baltimore

For the majority of travelers, Baltimore/Washington International Airport (BWI) is the most convenient choice. As the only airport located in Baltimore, it offers the shortest transit times and direct access via both rail and light rail. Other airports are located in neighboring cities and serve as regional gateways rather than Baltimore-specific hubs. Ronald Reagan Washington National Airport (DCA) and Dulles International Airport (IAD) are located in the Washington, D.C. metropolitan area; while they provide many international connections, they require a significant transfer to reach Baltimore, typically via Amtrak or commuter rail from Union Station. Philadelphia International Airport (PHL) serves the city of Philadelphia and is a viable alternative if you find better flight prices, though transit takes roughly 1.5 to 2 hours. Finally, Harrisburg International Airport (MDT) is located in Middletown, PA, and is best suited for those traveling specifically to Central Pennsylvania. Travelers should prioritize BWI unless specific flight availability or pricing in D.C. or Philadelphia dictates otherwise.

Here, I need to tip for daily cleaning and hygiene. The next day I also gave the result that I put a lot of towels and didn’t make it 😢. Breakfast is also very simple (there are three varieties). If you can choose to book without breakfast, it is more cost-effective. Coffee is 5 dollars a cup. There is no smell. There is no water in the room (the front desk told me that there is an empty bottle to go to the floor to get water (the result is that the equipment is broken 😅), parking is not free for 50 dollars. This price is the price of a standard five-star hotel in China, this time I really stepped on the pit.

Very clean and comfortable. A good sense of security. Breakfast is not so good. The location is good, just a few minutes' walk to the Peabody Library, the most beautiful library in the legend, and not far from the Inner Harbour. 10 minutes drive from JHU

The environment is elegant and tidy, and the decoration is warm and generous. The beds are soft and comfortable, and the air conditioning is very quiet. The breakfast is varied and tastes good. The front desk service is warm, the procedures are fast, and it feels very professional. There are plenty of parking spaces and easy to get in and out. The overall feeling is excellent value for money and it is a pleasant stay experience.

The Hotel Indigo in Baltimore is one that provides comfort, access to quality restaurants that represent diverse cuisines, and customer service with personality and a smile. The food menu is sufficient and the bartenders are well versed in creating whatever cocktails you may enjoy. The rooms are quiet, the water pressure is strong, and the cost is competitive. I stayed 2 nights and when I checked out late, the hotel had no issue with it. I was able to walk from the Penn Station to the hotel with no difficulties.

It meets Marriott's usual standards. Parking is in the parking lot next to the hotel. There is a dedicated skywalk from the 2nd floor of the parking lot directly to the 3rd floor of the hotel, which is very convenient. We chose to park by ourselves, which is much cheaper than valet parking.

We were in town for a concert and we waited 4 hours to get our room before the concert and ended up getting ready in the hallways. We waiting in a long line 3 times because the desk kept telling us to check back later and to keep an eye on our phones for a text message for when our room was ready. We never received that text message. Unfortunately I think the situation at hand and the way it was handled was the issue other than that the hotel itself was fine. The desk had no information as to why the room was taking so long or when it would be ready. And when we asked they were rude about it and said that we were 1 of 500 guests trying to check in so we would just have to wait.

Location in downtown Baltimore was excellent, a block from the Convention Center, across the street from a subway station and 2 blocks from a light rail station - subway runs east-west ( including the Inner Harbor) and light rail runs north-south for over 40 miles with 1/2 hour direct connection to/from the BWI Airport. - one way tickets on both are $2.  My corner room on the 9th floor was spacious with good views. I had business all afternoon in the area with no car - when I asked if I could check my luggage 4 hours before check-in time, they actually checked me in then and there and gave me my room key at noon.  The lobby is elegant and the the room rate was very reasonable for a downtown location hotel.

Hotel location is very good. Just in the port area. The scenery in the next round is very good. The hotel's daily store is also delicious. The main one is very safe. Compared with other four seasons, the obvious feeling is that the sanitary preparations are slightly inferior. There is actually a dead ant under the pillow. There are mosquitoes in the room, 16th floor, I really don't know where to come... Oh, the breakfast environment is also very good, overall good, recommended!

This hotel is just across the road from the convention center. It was clean, safe, friendly and had every amenity I was looking for. I had to book very last minute after a cancellation elsewhere and was thrilled to get a clean, nicely air conditioned room with everything I needed. I will definitely stay here again when traveling to Baltimore

The room was very nice. When I checked in I asked about parking. They said I could go around the corner and park, it is connected to the hotel, and it would cost $29 for the night. When I left the hotel and tried to get out of the parking lot, the cost is $69! I drove around to ask about this problem, the girl at the front desk had no idea. She took my email address and said the manager would contact me when he arrived. It has been 24 hours and I have not heard from the manager. Obviously I’m not very important to this hotel so I will never stay there again. They lied to me when I checked in and then never responded to my complaint. I would have booked a different hotel if I knew I was going to be charged $69 parking for one night! Stay somewhere else.
