Residence Inn by Marriott Aberdeen at Ripken Stadium

Attended Ripken Experience many times. This hotel is the closest to the games. We chose Residence Inn because we were in town for multiple days of the Ripken Experience, and it turned out to be a great decision. Having extra space made a big difference—room to spread out, relax, and reset between games.||What we didn’t expect was how often we’d end up walking to The Screaming Bean instead of cooking or eating hotel food. Their breakfast and lunch options were convenient, quick, and genuinely good—perfect for tournament schedules. Supporting a local coffee shop while getting great food made the stay feel more connected to the community.||For families staying several days, this hotel paired with nearby local spots really enhances the overall experience.

Room worked well, large suite. Heat had issues but they fixed it quick. Parking is free. Small gym with a bike, elliptical, and treadmill, and some dumbbells.

This was only our second time to Ripken and our first time staying on site. It is convenient but costly. It would be great to have a parking lot on the Residence Inn side. We understood some of the limitations due to covid. Our room was very dusty. The rooms are a decent size, the full kitchen was convenient, though it was difficult to cook on the stove top because all of the pans provided we're larger than the burner size and did not heat evenly. Otherwise the kitchen was nicely stocked with dishes and silverware Etc. The full size refrigerator was handy and cooled quickly and contained an ice maker. It looked like there were some recent updates and the shower was very clean. Water pressure was excellent. Cleaning was definitely spotty though, the mirrors looked like they had either been

The Residence Inn-Aberdeen Ripken Stadium is in desperate need of an update. The carpet in our room was threadbare and torn between the bathroom and bed. We had the worst night's sleep in the bed. The mattress had zero support. It was way too soft, and we rolled towards the center so we couldn't get comfortable. The sofa is worn too. The cushions are flat and we sank into the sofa. We had to use the pillows to offer support so it didn't feel like we were sitting on the frame. The furniture in the room is the typical Residence Inn heavy wood that was used in the early 2000s. It has a lot of dings and scratches. The TV only offers cable and does not allow for apps to be used. On a positive note, the bathroom has the tall toilets so there's that. I will also say the staff are incredibly nice.

The location overlooking Cal Ripken field was incredible. You could watch game from the studio unit. Better than a box at Yankee stadium. Went with my grandson who played in the tournament and family. He will never forget it. A forever memory. The studio unit even had a dishwasher. Comfortable king bed, living room and kitchen area. It was expensive but it was a once in a lifetime experience. I hope to do it again next year.
