    History is worth looking at. This is an interesting spot if you're a Washington fan. Get to know…read morehis early days.

    Borrowed from the below site:…read more www.mdmountainside.com/listing/george-washingtons-headquarters/2042/#:~:text=The%20Headquarters%20of%20George%20Washington,the%20United%20States%20of%20America. "The Headquarters of George Washington is a historic site, located at 38 Greene Street, in the historic downtown district of Cumberland, Maryland. The centerpiece and primary attraction at the site is a historic log cabin twice occupied by George Washington, the first President of the United States of America. The cabin resides in an area known today as Riverside Park but was originally built about 2 blocks away. The original site is located nearby at 16 Washington Street. The cabin was originally built by General Edward Braddock's men, between 1755 and 1758, for then Colonel George Washington's use during his service in the French and Indian War. He later returned and used it briefly during 1794, then as the Commander in Chief, in order to review the troops gathered to put down the Whiskey Rebellion. This site is notable, as it signifies Washington's first military command. The original site lies on a hill that overlooks Wills Creek and the Potomac River. It was once the location of Fort Cumberland (Maryland) and today, The Emmanuel Episcopal Church (Cumberland, Maryland). The headquarters was part of Fort Cumberland during the French and Indian War, and it is the only building to survive from the original Fort. Though closed to the public, the cabin has windows visitors can peer into and see historical displays and artifacts of what the cabin may have looked like including a bed, desk, and fireplace as well as a life-size wax replica of Washington." If you come here, parking in the area is somewhat tight. During our visit, Greene and Baltimore Streets were under a lot of construction so we parked two blocks away for a buck in a pay lot near Basecamp Coffee. If you're so inclined, you could also park on the other side of the creek at the visitor center and walk over the bridge to get here. We came, read the placards, took a few pictures, walked a short distance to read a few more of the placards that go under 68 but then saw a few loud locals (i.e. homeless-hobo-vagrant) and thought better of going any further. With that said, this is by no means a stop that you're going out of your way for. At best, this is a few minutes passing curiosity just to say that you saw it. If you want something more substantive about Washington's time in the general area as a British officer, the NPS site Fort Necessity is the place. Tons of stuff there that George did including surrendering to the French. www.nps.gov/fone/index.htm

    A fantastic hotel! We.ch3cked in.late but the staff was friendly and courteous and even gave us…read moresome bottled waters! My room was spacious and spotless with clean fresh linens, soft bath towels and a overall inviting vibe that makes it very hard to get out of bed in the morning! The fitness center had pleanty of dumbells and a cable machine and treadmills so I was able to get a very complete workout before bed. The complimentary breakfast had tons of options to choose from including fresh omelets and scrambled eggs, oatmeal, cereal, waffles, toast, bagels, muffins, juice, water, milk you name it! The location is central Cumberland so there were pleanty of pubs and late night hangs within walking distance. Really great hotel, can't wait to come back!!

    How about first thing is when you have a reservation/confirmation number you have a room…read more Confirmation number showed me checking in 6/2 but didn't have a room until 6/3...could you wait an until while I clear the long line that's forming in lobby...called his sales manager who said the hotel is sold out. That's weird so my reservation says 6/2 on it and you'll check in everybody else and wait to deal with me and my problem that's clearly on your end? Never again will I book with Marriott. Had to drive another 20 minutes away to get a hotel. And that much further away form where I need to be tomorrow and the next day for work. If only there was a Hilton near by
