Hampton Inn By Hilton Columbia

Your Laid-Back Base Between Baltimore and D.C. Shows

Modern, comfortable, and well-connected, the Hampton Inn By Hilton Columbia is a smart choice for music fans hitting up concerts across the Baltimore-Washington corridor. Tucked just off the major interstates (I-95, I-695, and I-295), this hotel offers easy access to nearby venues while keeping things quiet and relaxed once the encore ends. With free Wi-Fi, a solid fitness center, and a complimentary hot breakfast buffet, it’s got the essentials covered.

Why Concert-goers love it

Fans appreciate the easy access to multiple venues thanks to nearby highways and an Amtrak station just 4 miles away—perfect for catching a show in Baltimore or even D.C. The atmosphere is calm and quiet, making it a great spot to unwind post-show. While check-in starts at 3:00 PM, the hotel’s friendly staff often accommodate early arrivals when possible. Free parking is a bonus for those road-tripping to see their favorite acts.

Who this Hotel is great for

Food and Drink Options

While there’s no on-site restaurant open late, the free hot breakfast (served daily) is a hit with guests who need a slow start after a long night. Several casual dining spots are within a short drive or delivery distance, and the area offers plenty of quick bites. Room service isn’t available, but in-room microwaves and mini-fridges offer a bit of late-night flexibility.

Nightlife Options

This isn’t a party hotel, but that’s part of the appeal. If you're looking for a more chill post-show vibe, the quiet surroundings and nearby lounges make it easy. For more action, Baltimore’s nightlife is just a short drive or train ride away.

What People Say

Guests love the hotel’s cleanliness, friendly staff, and convenience to highways and local attractions. Many note that it’s ideal for quick trips into Baltimore or D.C. for concerts and events. The free breakfast and comfortable beds also get high marks, especially after a late night out.

Areas for Improvement

It’s a little out of the way for walking to venues or dining, so having a car or ride-share app is helpful. Some guests mention the decor is a bit dated, but most agree it’s clean and well-kept. Room service and a bar would be nice additions, but there are workarounds.

The Bottom Line

A solid, stress-free stay for concert-goers who want to be close to the action—but not in the middle of the noise.
