Coffee Bean -Have Chalav Yisrael Items but the store in Not Chalev Yisrael per say.
Hotels- Closest is a Howard Johnson - ( not recommended) around a 3 minute drive. https://www.wyndhamhotels.com/hojo/pikesville-maryland/howard-johnson-pikesville/overview

The around here there a few more hotels. Distance from Yeshivas Ner Israel around a 3 5 minute drive, from rest of Jewish Community around a 7 minute drive.

I did check. You did a great job. The only reason I'm asking is because I was hoping for something a little more than decent. How does the residence inn near Owings Mills compare to it?

Double tree is just fine.
Owings mills is a drive - you cannot walk on Shabbos.

TripAdvisor says pretty bad things about the double tree. What else is recommended within a 15 min drive to park heights?

Bunch of hotels in owings mills. Around 15 minutes. I’ve stayed at the hyatt place and I believe the residence inn. Both clean, decent.

how bad can it be? It’s a bed to sleep in. I’ve stayed there several times with no issues.  If you want something luxurious stay downtown. Owing Mills is not luxurious either. You said you wanted to be close. This is your best option

There is also a Radisson in a place called Cross Keys around 10 minutes in a diffrent direction from the Jewish Community.
