I visited the Brooks Clinton Center recently for family member's baby shower. I have been to this…read morearea multiple times, but never realized that center was even there. Not sure how long they are been open, but they would different benefit from better signage. The baby shower I attended to location at the further room within the center. The room was wide-open, basically a clean slate, allowing you to decorate to your liking. There was one bathroom in the room, but it was small. This location is ideal for a small get together. Not sure how much it costs to rent, but the venue offers a great space to make your vision come to life. The parking situation isn't too bad, I think the parking lot could be set-up a little better, allowing for more parking spaces. But, its a safe area that is easily accessible.

At 5:05, the owner came in and yelled at my guests, saying, "If you're not helping clean, then you have to get out." That was so rude and unprofessional. I paid for the venue until 6 PM, so I don't understand why he felt it was appropriate to come in before my rental time was over and address my guests that way. If there was an issue, he should've spoken directly to me, the person who rented and paid for the space, not my guests. They was asking me when I was going to pop my balloons at 4 pm. I wouldn't recommend this place to no one

I stumbled upon Studio 9854 in January of last year and initially booked her shower for September of 2020. But, as we all know, COVID happened and we had to postpone. The owner of the studio was very understanding and accommodating and quickly changed of booking to May of 2021. With COVID still around, the owner was very aware of the counties restrictions and kept me up to day with changes in capacity limits and the like. The week of the event, she had me email her the number of tables I required for my event. Additionally, she emailed me the morning of the event to let me know when she had the venue open and the tables and chairs set-up as I had requested. She also provided other instructions on what to do after my event. Myself and the rest of the wedding party walked into a clean slate on Saturday morning. The venue was spotless and ready to be transformed into what we envisioned. I love how she kept the colors in the room neutral and added an accent wall as a focal piece. It was the perfect backdrop for photos of the beautiful bride. There is plenty of parking outside of the venue. Additionally, since this venue is located within a shopping center, anything we forgot was easily purchased at the 7-11 or Dollar General within in the strip. If you are searching for the perfect venue for a bridal or baby shower or even a small reception, Studio 9854 has got you covered.

While it was clean, the room had a strange echo. The housekeepers were kind, but the front desk workers could have been nicer. The breakfast was pretty bad, in all honestly.

This hotel is very well located to many amazing, fun, and delicious spots in the Metro Center. It is right off of 795, too, making it a great spot to stay in Owings Mills. Overall, a great experience and I would stay here again!

However, the carpet was filthy, and clearly had not been vacuumed, even though the staff must have known we would spend all our time in that room on the floor. Several of us had immediate allergic reactions to whatever was in the carpet, and I spent the rest of the weekend on benedryl. We stayed in the Fidler's Grove cabins, and I was extremely disappointed with our accommodations. Our "kitchenette with microwave and mini fridge" consisted of a tiny fridge sitting on the floor in the hallway. It was so small we couldn't even fit our water bottles in it. That was it. No microwave, no kitchenette. The room I slept in had no heat, on a night when the temperature dropped into the 20s. We had a difficult time figuring out how to operate the heater because the instructions posted on the wall were not for that particular heating unit. Slats of the mini-blinds were twisted and broken. The sitting area was functional, but depressing. I would call the cabin overall very spartan and barracks-like. We requested a vegetarian menu, which we received. We were also welcome to choose from the buffet. With a couple of notable exceptions, the food ranged from mediocre to inedible, the main problem being that none of the cooked food was actually hot. The hummus that was provided to us as a snack was excellent, as was the whitefish we had with our dinner on Saturday night, but that did not make up for the food that was served to us the rest of the weekend. I won't go back.

Really more than I expected. There is also an organic farm attached to the retreat center with vegetable rows, chickens, ducks, and goats. They served some produce from the farm at a couple of the meals. And the meals were also impressive, with mostly vegetarian options and the occasional high quality meat. And there were always refreshments available for those moments when you need a snack. The conference facilities themselves were also beautiful, from the large open hall on the first floor to the smaller meeting rooms to the ample rocking chairs on the porch around the main building. Not to mention that the center is surrounded by forests, streams, and a pond. Yep, it was epic.
