Multi Story Hotel, ask for room with a southern view, (I had 3rd floor - no go). 4th floor or higher overlooks CSX Metropolitan SD / MARC Brunswick Line. View may be obstructed by carnival at Montgomery County Fair Grounds

Since the original listing was published, trees along the tracks have grown in to the point that they almost completely obstruct the view from most rooms. However, there is an opening at one end, next to the car dealer adjacent to the hotel. For the best view (particularly at night), request one of the high-numbered rooms on the third floor (340/338/336); otherwise you may be disappointed in the quality of the view.

"Located at trackside on CSX's Metropolitan Subdivision, you can walk up to the tracks -- no fence or other structure separates the motel property from the tracks. Ask for the second or third floor overlooking the tracks for the best view; ask for the first floor if you want to rush to the trackside at a moment's notice."
