The Spotlight on Extended Stay America Select Suites - Columbia - Gateway Drive

Convenient Comfort Near Baltimore's Music Scene

Modern, budget-friendly, and designed for longer stays, Extended Stay America Select Suites - Columbia - Gateway Drive offers a practical home base for concert-goers heading to Baltimore or nearby Columbia venues. Located just off Gateway Drive, this all-suite hotel puts you within 15 miles of major music destinations and just 10 miles from Baltimore-Washington International Airport.
Each room comes equipped with a full kitchen, free WiFi, and a flat-screen TV—perfect for unwinding after a night of music.

Why Concert-goers love it

This hotel is a great pick for fans who value quiet post-show recovery and don't mind being a short drive from the action. While not in the heart of downtown, its location offers easy access to Baltimore-area venues without the noise and crowds. Late arrivals are no problem thanks to its 3:00 PM check-in, and with in-room kitchens, fans can prep meals anytime. Free WiFi and cable TV make it easy to stream setlists and relive the concert buzz.

Who this Hotel is great for

Groups of friends looking to save with shared suites
Solo travelers needing a quiet, secure stay
Couples stretching a concert into a weekend escape
Fans wanting a peaceful night after the encore
Budget-conscious music lovers who prioritize value and space

Food and Drink Options

While there’s no on-site restaurant, each suite includes a full kitchen with a fridge, stovetop, and microwave—ideal for late-night bites or breakfast after a late show. Plus, you're a short drive from plenty of nearby eateries and fast food options. Grocery stores are also close if you prefer to stock up for your stay.

Nightlife Options

This hotel is more about recharging than partying, but you’re just a drive away from Baltimore’s nightlife, including live music bars, craft breweries, and lounges. In Columbia, you’ll also find several low-key spots for drinks and food before or after the show.

What People Say

Guests appreciate the clean, spacious rooms and the ability to cook their own meals. Reviewers often highlight the quiet atmosphere and the convenience of long-term amenities like laundry and a fitness center. Many note the hotel’s value for the price, especially for multi-night stays.

Areas for Improvement

While it's a solid choice for extended stays, the lack of daily housekeeping and limited front-desk hours may not suit all travelers. Some guests also mention that the hotel’s location is car-dependent, so plan ahead for rideshares or rentals if you're catching a concert downtown.

The Bottom Line

If you're looking for an affordable, quiet, and comfortable stay within driving distance of Baltimore’s music venues, Extended Stay America Select Suites - Columbia - Gateway Drive is a smart choice.

Liked: I’ve stayed with extended stay for a while, as I was waiting for my house to be ready. I would like to thank Mr. Deniro (front desk staff member) for his excellent customer service. He as well as Ms. Sophia made my stay comfortable. Kudos also to the housekeeper- Mr. Seth. He made sure we were giving all our necessary necessities daily and always with a smile. Lastly, the manager Ms. Eunice did her best to accommodate me and my family during our stay. Thanks again to you all..!!
