The verdict

Nineteenth, level on 35 and ahead of the TownePlace only on the alphabet: both park you free while you stay. The Sheraton by BWI lists "Long-term parking available", with free self-parking while you stay, an indoor heated pool, Old Line Grill and a free BWI shuttle by reservation.

There's EV charging, and one pet up to 40 lb stays for a $50 cleaning fee.

The long-term parking has no price on the page — a listing, not a rate. Breakfast isn't stated as free, Marriott never mentions cruises, and you must be 21 to check in.

Call and ask what a week of parking costs, and budget a cab or rideshare to the terminal.

Book it if

  • Drivers who want to ask about long-term parking
  • Swimmers
  • Owners of one small pet

Look elsewhere if

  • You're under 21.
  • You want breakfast included.
  • You want the parking price in writing before you book.
