Hotels in Glen Burnie

Glen Burnie is a working suburb south of Baltimore, unglamorous by design and useful for exactly that reason: it sits right next to BWI airport, making it a practical base for early flights or late arrivals rather than a destination in itself. The town itself is strip malls, chain restaurants and the Marley Station area, with little in the way of sights beyond the occasional local museum.

Be honest: there's no real reason to linger, and anyone wanting Baltimore's harbor, museums or nightlife will need to drive in. Traffic on Ritchie Highway can be sluggish at peak times. Stay near the airport if you're flying in or out, since that's the whole point of basing yourself here.
