I'm surprised by the poor rating of this hotel.  My bf and I arrived in Baltimore for a one night stay over President's Day weekend and had a pleasant stay here.  The staff and room were top-notch.  I appreciated the quiet room away from the elevator…More »

Booked this place through one of those travel site for an AMAZING deal! (Let's say cheap = under $100/night for a holiday weekend.)

The hotel is very centrally located and quite easy to find. We used Priceline and the room rate was moderate for our last minute trip. I especially liked staying on the 10th floor because you needed the room key to access it. This came in very handy…More »
