27 year old male with a moderate budget, traveling for leisure
I saw the price for the place, considered the location and booked a room for two nights. After being there for about 2 seconds, I realized I had chosen poorly. I didn't feel safe parking my '92 Ford Taurus in the lot, the room and lobby were very sketchy, I could hear everything through the walls. I didn't have time to switch hotels that night so I dealt with it, I was beyond overjoyed to see my car there in the morning.
While attempting to go to sleep, I heard the door outside of my room (there were 4 rooms behind one main door) open and close about 50 times, I clearly overheard a drug deal and knew what drop-off point tomorrow to avoid.
Needless to say I checked out in the morning and was able to get a room at a Comfort Inn in Catonsville. I would never stay at this hotel for free or if paid less than $200 a night, an absolute sketchy ghetto dive is an understatement. You'd be safer staying in your own car; it's not worth saving the money here, go to any other chain hotel. Whatever rating it has is garbage, do not believe that, do not go there, avoid it at all costs.
I am not likely
to return to the Welcome Inn.
I would not recommend it to friends.
