This was a good property with decent garage parking. It is very close to great dining options. Customer service was impeccable! During my stay the fire alarm went off for over an hour…we were not sure whether to evacuate or risk getting burned to a crisp…at the time i was soaking in the tub…so i had to get out. Otherwise it was overall a good stay

Great weekend in Maryland

We had an amazing experience. The property is gorgeous and well kept. All residents stay on floor 5 and above, while renters stay on 4 and below. Love the safety precautions. You can use the elevator or get in a lot of doors without your key. If you return your key in the lock box, make sure you have someone hold the elevator as you can get back on without a key. I had to look for a maid to open it for me.
