Why Towson locals round the Beltway
Three reasons Towson guests keep I-695 on speed dial — not a boilerplate list, but what actually brings them through the door.
Family & arcade combo
Lantern-lit corridor and an in-house arcade — parents dine, kids hit the claw machines, then everyone converges on a private karaoke room.
Loch Raven & Goucher offices
Owings Mills / Loch Raven teams use the X-Large for client entertainment and end-of-quarter dinners — 20 guests at $168/hr beats downtown banquet pricing.
