$99/night is not very good on that property.
I probably booked 30 nights there last year and was paying around $55-$65ai, earned points, cashback, and paid with GCs. Weekday and weekends were wide open.
Also they give plats free breakfast in the rest or lounge.
Lounge had pretty good offerings.

OK, I'll bite. How did you manage such a low rate when none is advertised?

Also, do Golds get breakfast>

Is Hunt Valley Inn, in Maryland still a Marriott? Often stay here. Know that it was up for sale. Think Hilton gave it a pass. Been trying to reserve rooms in September on Marriott site but "none available."

Looks like it's still listed as a Marriott website. See here.

That's strange. It is still listed on the website but you are right, no rooms are available whether trying to book this month or several months down the road.
I doubt the hotel is sold out for the next 6 months. Looks like it may no longer be a Marriott property.

Looks like Jun 30th is the last date one can book the room (for 1 night).

This hotel was built in the 70's by the McCormick Spice Company, who was in the process of moving their HQ from downtown (so the Inner Harbor could be built /expanded) to Hunt Valley. They used it for corporate meetings, as well as the hotel of choice for overnight guests to the corporate campus, or execs being transferred to the area. As many of their guests were from overseas, and the events 70's sized excess, the hotel was a very nice upscale property. ( loyalty programs were in their infancy, so being private did not affect its' appeal -)

Once McCormick realized it was not in the real estate business, they sold it. Five years ago it was bearable if you could think "retro" rather than "old"....but now? I can't imagine staying there at any price.

Yes, it is "old" --but the greatness of this property is that it is unique, not "cookie-cutter" like most major branded hotels. The landscape is lovely, complete with tennis courts. The interiors are indeed "retro" but with "class" rather than some reality show conception of interior design. It looks overbuilt however there is often a large number of guests.

So is this Saturday the last day it's a Marriott brand? If so, I'll take it off the exec lounge list.

Cheers.

It appears it's no longer a Marriott property, as its no longer listed on the Marriott website and links to information on the hotel no longer go to the hotel pages.

I've been trying to find out more about it's fate (rebrand, renovation, etc.) since I've often stayed there over the holidays while visiting family; however, so far, no luck.

Their website states that they are now "The Hunt Valley Inn Baltimore formerly known as the 'Baltimore Marriott Hunt Valley Inn'"

Hopefully they'll renovate the rooms. I've always enjoyed the retro styling of the lobby, hallways and restaurant, but the rooms were always Marriott circa 1995, in that purgatory between retro and in need of renovation.

Awww, I'm gonna miss this place. I haven't stayed here in a few years but I used to spend some nights here from time to time....
