"This location is my go-to when going to Baltimore or staying overnight after a concert at the CFB Bank Arena. Parking can be hard if you're trying to do valet, but there is also a parking deck directly across the street that you can safetly park at. Staff here are friendly and helpful, amenities are wonderful, and overall it's a comfortable, enjoyable stay with a delicious breakfast available in the morning and coffee/water available all day. Highly recommended!"

8/10 Good
"Staff very helpful and pleasant. Especialy Carlton. He was there working his tail off from early morning until late night doing everything from helping with luggage to cleaning the common areas to providing a much needed deck of playing cards. A real nice person. Building is old and our room had a slight musty scent but nothing that we complained about. Breakfast was decent, no complaints there. I would recommend avoiding the expensive cocktails and sticking with wine or beer. Either that or request straight forward simple cocktails like bourbon on the rocks etc. * A really really great feature is a parking garage located across the street and the hotel validates every ticket from the garage. Over a 2 night stay we were in and out of the garage 6 times so the hotel validation saved us alot of parking costs."

It was such a lovely place to celebrate, enjoy time together, and create birthday memories that I’ll always treasure. The view from our 8th floor bedroom window was beautiful.

"All in - great place to stay. Location was perfect t for walking around town. Hotel was clean and more modern amenities. We felt a little mislead though regarding the rooftop bar. I thought we’d have access to it based on how the hotel was sold in Expedia; however, upon arrival we were told that it was exclusively for renters. So, that was a bit disappointing. Otherwise, hotel was great."
