nina_930 Posted July 21, 2021 #1 Share Posted July 21, 2021 Looking at Best Western Plus BWI to stay the night and park for the cruise. I am driving from NC so this is on the way back home. Is this a good area to leave a car for the week? It seems far away to have the shuttle to the port, but if it's offered I'd rather stay south than north of the port. TIA.

Rare Noxequifans Posted July 21, 2021 #2 Share Posted July 21, 2021 I think more research will result in a better alternative. Perhaps south of the port as you said and then park at the port (safest). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe this one "6755 Dorsey Rd, Elkridge, MD 21075" It is one that is currently listed on a recommended park/stay site. I sail 9/19 and trying to decided which hotel to choose , but without knowing the area its confusing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes that is a good area as it’s within the BWI Airport district many cruisers have stayed in different hotels in that area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks , I hope the original poster returns. I believe i saw you mention a Park & Cruise website in another post they currently have 3 hotels listed. 6571 Eastern Ave Baltimore, MD 21224 (Baltimore Cruise Port Hampton Inn) 301 Fallsway Baltimore MD 21202 (Baltimore SLeep Inn) 6755 Dorsey Road Elkridge, MD (Best Western Plus BWI) I don't think i will be choosing the Sleep Inn from the various reviews the place seems unsafe. Any opinions on the Hampton Inn? Sorry for the slight thread jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly be careful when picking hotel in Baltimore City. Yes there are some good areas but crime is rampant and the city states attorney doesn’t prosecute crime as she is worried about the federal criminal investigation again her and her husband. the website is trinityreservations dot com Edited August 16, 2021 by Tony O 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shippmates Posted August 30, 2021 #8 Share Posted August 30, 2021 We have stayed many times at the BW on Dorsey Road. It is a nice hotel and many cruisers stay there. The only issue we have is using the shuttle to return back to the hotel after the cruise. They do not have any specific plan in place. You call for the shuttle, go to the waiting area but they give you know confirmation. We have waited up to more than an hour as the people getting to the waiting area after you get in front and then get on the shuttle as you are still waiting.

Try the sites mentioned in the previous posts or this one Port of Baltimore Hotels | Hotels Near Port of Baltimore With Parking (parksleepfly.com) With that being said anything near BWI / Elkridge, Arundel Mills, or the Inner Harbor are all generally safe areas in my opinion.

You are Welcome, I am going through the same process for a 2022 cruise out of Manhattan. We are leaning towards taking the Amtrak out of BWI (includes using their parking garage) and spend the night in Manhattan close to the cruise terminal.

I have reservations at this hotel for my next cruise in January. I'm flying in to BWI and I understand they have a free shuttle from the airport to the hotel. I'm traveling solo and have never cruised out of Baltimore. Can you tell me the best way to get to the port the morning of my sailing? Do you know if the Best Western has a port shuttle? Thank you.

Shuttles go on their schedule, Uber, Lyft and cabs go on yours!! 😄 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shippmates Posted September 24, 2021 #19 Share Posted September 24, 2021 The hotel does have a shuttle but it is not the easiest to use to return to the hotel. It may be different if you are going to the airport as we always park at the hotel and drive home. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruises42 Posted September 25, 2021 #20 Share Posted September 25, 2021 We stayed at the one on Dorsey a few years ago. Totally safe, nice place. We 're planning to stay there again when we cruise from Baltimore in a couple years. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Penn Mom Posted November 1, 2021 #21 Share Posted November 1, 2021 Best Western BWI on Dorsey/Arundel Mills is a good hotel. We usually use them when we are flying out of BWI or cruising out of the port They have a shuttle for both. The hotel is nice, it is in a safe area and there is an adjacent restaurant. Book through Trinity reservations, the rates are usually cheaper. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thinking of taking shuttle there then getting Uber or Lyft back to hotel. Laura Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
