Marriott BWI, Baltimore

After a couple visits, the place is sketchy at best. The service can be crap, sometimes the tap isn't flowing, and sometimes the food is less than stellar. But by virtue of sheer convenience after flying in from Denver, it's worth a note. If you're not staying at the Marriott, don't make a special effort to seek it out.

Yes, sometimes.

Yes.
