Currently interviewing for positions at various medical centers so I have been selecting places to stay based on proximity to where my interview is. This was a great location for my U Maryland interview. I wanted something very unique and also to support a female business owner. In any case, I was really delighted with my stay:
Pros: Very close to University of Maryland; great quiet setting for reading; unique atmosphere; very large bed and neat room; fantastic breakfast- one of the best pancakes recipes I have had in my travels; fabulous, kind host
Cons: Lots of stairs. I stayed on the 4th floor and arrived very late. I had to let myself in which was fine, but the stairs were hard with luggage and being alone. Ask to be on a lower floor if you need help and have trouble lifting things. Also, the heating system was not intuitive, but I figured it out by the second evening.
Overall: Wonderfu! Stay. I enjoyed my time here a lot. I wasn’t worried about the surroundings and was walking around a bit after dark by myself without a problem. I am a 30 something female, and it didn’t feel any less safe than Denver or NYC. I wouldn’t go out super late, but Uber worked fantastic for me. I ended up extending my reservation and stayed an entire week there. I’d recommend it. It’s not good if you want breakfast earlier than 7am, but I had a few days where I had time to have a leisurely breakfast and enjoyed it a lot!
