My sister-in-law has lived near this place all her life and had no idea it existed. While little known and off the beaten path, this conference center provides a good value. The rooms are a decent size and very clean. The bathrooms are a little odd (toilet at an angle, no tub---only shower but a really large shower, no frills... More

Hotel: Drab, dark, depressing. In dire need of remodeling. Rooms are clean, but very institutional-looking and -feeling. Old, 1970s-looking closed circuit TV cameras throughout the hallways. Cafeteria: Hit and miss. Usually not but not great. Dining room is dark and sad. More

The organization I work for uses this for conferences on a regular basis and I have come to really look forward to coming here. The rooms are comfortable, although the televisions are out of date. The food is excellent. I always eat more than I should--tasty and a good variety. The Institute runs a free shuttle to and from BWI... More

I was here for a work retreat. The corridors and bathrooms were a little dated but the beds looked clean, well-dressed and comfortable. I have hotel issues: I'm usually iffy about touching the floor with my bare feet, sitting on comforters, you get the picture. But that bed looked soooo good. As I leaned back to nestle into the pillows,... More

I attended a business sponsored 5-day workshop in November so I can't comment on the value of the accommodations. The free Institute shuttle picked us up from BWI within 10 minutes of our calling for it. Had a very quick and friendly check-in. The pluses: clean, odor free (no cleaning/deodorizing/masking fragrances stinking up the room) sleeping rooms; nice pillows; decent... More

I had a three day conference at the hotel. I didn't say so I can speak about the rooms. The food, however, was the best food I have ever had at a conference. It might not have been five start dining but it was great. The variety of food was five star. There is always a salad bar and always... More

Have had several conferences at this hotel now. The facilities are OK, but certainly not luxurious. The beds are reasonably comfortable, the rooms are clean, and overall it represents reasonable value. The biggest problem is the food, which is all cafeteria style and is pretty bland. Overall a reasonable place to hold a conference cheaply, but don't count on too... More
