Wingate by Wyndham Baltimore BWI Airport
Nice location and affordable, BUT upgrades are needed. Elevator buttons dont work properly. Bathroom needs to be re-grouted, stains on the couch. The underside of the blanket had old cigarette burns. Other than that. The hotel was clean and the staff was friendly and helpful.

I love the made to order omelettes. Parking at this hotel is an outside agency and was difficult. Not just me, but I witnessed someone else having difficulty and another person telling them about the difficult process.
