Through my lifetime I have had to stay in quite a few different hotels. Recently work has been calling me down to Timonium, MD and they have been putting me up in the Hunt Valley Marriott. I must say that this is one of the nicest hotels I have stayed in. Upon check-in I was greeted by very courteous staff who were set out to do anything they could to make your stay enjoyable.

However cost comes with the nice decor. The room I have been staying in have been around $220 per night. The bedding is some of the best I have seen. They have down comforters on every bed, nice fluffy pillows and the mattresses are very comfortable. The room I am staying in even has a flat panel LCD tv which is very nice.

This week I am down in Timonium, MD for work. I thought I would take a few minutes to review a restaurant that is close to work. On a lunch break you cannot get very far without a car so it is really convenient to have this almost next door.

During my first visit the guys brought me over to Qdoba for lunch. I was hungry and usually a burrito is small so I ordered one chicken and one steak. That was a mistake. The burritos at Qdoba are pretty large and one would fill up just about anyone. My favorite item there would have to be the chicken burrito, but I have also tried the Mexican Gumbo which is really good.

If you are in the area of one of these restaurant’s I would highly suggest that you stop in for a meal. The food is great but the service was just as good. I was actually surprised at how good the service was for a restaurant like this.
