Courtyard Aberdeen at Ripken Stadium

I stay in Marriott hotels across the country, and have done for a number of years, and this is without doubt, the worst i have stayed in, EVER!!. Upon arrival i was greeted by a pleasant member of staff, who checked me in, there was no acknowledgement of my Marriott Elite membership, but thats not the end of the world. Having worked all day and then driven 7 hours to get to the hotel, i headed straight for my room. This is where the experience starts to rapidly decline. The carpet in the room was covered in large stains from i dont know what. there were extra pillows as requested, and before going down for dinner, i drew my curtains to get changed. The stains on the curtains made the carpet look clean. The bathroom was not much cleaner, with the toilet seat loose. I went down to reception to complain, and was met by another member of staff, this time not so friendly or attentive. I explained the problem to which he said "do you want another room"? i said i would and he gave me another room to move into just 3 doors down. This room was not much better, and as i had no help in moving my luggage, pillows, computer bag etc, i decided to stay in the first filthy room. Surely things couldnt get any worse, so i went down and sat down in the restaurant where i ordered Chicken wings to start and then a grilled chicken burger for my main course. The chicken wings came, and although were hot in temperature, were burnt on the bottom, as if they had been cooked on a tray that had remnants of previously cooked burnt food that had stuck to my wings. The chicken burger came and that was the same, as were the new potatoes i had ordered instead of chips. Overall a very disappointing meal. i got an early night as i had another early start in the morning. When i came down for breakfast, i was seated and asked if i wanted anything hot to eat as there was only a cold buffet out in the self service area. I asked for a menu, and the member of staff said "we dont have menus, but the kitchen does the usual hot stuff, bacon, sausages eggs". not great again but i ordered scrambled eggs and mushrooms which werent too bad although the service left much to be desired. I will never stay here again, and would be delighted to expand more should anyone from Marriot Bonvoy wish to contact me.

Obviously the location being so close to baseball parks makes this a no-brainer for future baseball themed trips. Seafood and baseball will make for a formidable reason to come back again.

Nice lobby area Comfortable beds

Great value

Friendly staff that would do anything to make your stay a pleasant one. Beautiful surroundings and location.

Had a top floor room facing the baseball field. It was plenty big for three people. It was clean. The beds are comfortable. Only thing I would say i was disappointed in is that it didn’t offer the free breakfast as the other marriot right next-door did. It was great location driving off the highway to rest in between driving long distance.

Easy everything, cleanliness, isolated site

Perfect room & glad bistro was available for a quick bite to eat

Staff is very friendly and efficient!!!
