The firm states that it has completed renovations to the Hampton Inn & Suites Arundel Mills/Baltimore and the Residence Inn Arundel Mills/BWI Airport, located at 7027 Arundel Mills Circle and 7035 Arundel Mills Circle respectively. The renovations involved significant upgrades to both the lobby areas and guestrooms. MCR Development did not divulge the cost of the renovations in its announcement.

The Hampton Inn & Suites Arundel Mills/Baltimore features 130 rooms and a new updated lobby and new “warm and cool tones” in the guestrooms and public spaces.
