Rental Cars
Many major car rental companies have offices inside the airport terminal.

Travel Leaders can make your car rental reservations at the same time you make your flight reservations. See information above regarding how to reach Travel Leaders.

Driving Directions
If renting a car, please obtain a map and directions from your rental car company. Another option is to visit Mapquest (www.mapquest.com), or another similar web site. SIAM highly recommends you contact the hotel directly at 410-528-1234 for driving directions. However, some suggested driving routes follow:

From Baltimore Washington International Airport
Take I-295 North, Baltimore-Washington Pkwy. I-295 becomes Russell Street (Oriole Park is on right). Turn right on Pratt Street. Proceed six blocks to Light Street and turn right. Hotel is ½ block on right.

There is a shuttle service from the airport to the hotel, located on the lower level of the airport outside of the baggage claim area.
