Baltimore hotellit Downtown

Plussat: Plenty of room

Plussat: Perfect room for the money spent

Miinukset: Police sirens sounding off all the time

Plussat: Very satisfied overall, especially with the breakfast and the coffee station that was stocked at least until 5:00 PM. Room was very spacious, and comfortably held three of us.

Miinukset: The key car I had quit working four or so times over just a few days, which was frustrating.

Plussat: Room layout Business set up (wi-fi, printing) Convenient location Staff is cheerful

Miinukset: Valet is great, but call down in advance

Plussat: All staff were great, from valet to front desk to breakfast servers. Everyone I encountered was friendly and helpful.

Plussat: I was attending a conference for most of the trip, and my partner also joined to check out local sites. It was a decent location within walking distance to a number of good restaurants and museums.

Miinukset: The room was somewhat small and the floor appeared to not have been vacuumed in a while (as noted by the dozens of small beads that were from a bracelet of a former inhabitant). I find the sliding bathroom door to be somewhat unusual since it didn't allow for privacy in the slightest. Lastly, we had to go to the front desk once a day to get the room key cards re-magnetized, so that we could enter the elevator to the room and our room.

Plussat: Everything!!

Miinukset: No problems.

Plussat: Location and staff were very friendly and gave recommendations for local restaurants.

Miinukset: Our room keys for some reason kept giving errors, they would alternate so we would have at least one working key at any given time. So the staff was very used to seeing us.

Plussat: Not much to like.

Miinukset: Not a great experience. Employees was not very welcoming. Checking in the first thing the young man said I don’t see your reservation. I had to pull up my confirmation number. Thank God I had available. Rooms was ok with a low quality thin comforter. There was no extra blanket. All hotels I stayed always had extra blanket in pillow. Lastly parked my car with valet parking for 40 bucks a night. when it was time to retrieve it took over 40 minutes to come. They could not find my car keys. I would not recommend this location or stay here again.

Plussat: I liked the location.

Miinukset: I had booked a deluxe king room and prepaid. When I arrived I was told that there were no more deluxe king rooms available and the only room available had two beds and bunk beds. Confused I showed the gentleman behind the desk my conformation with room type and he told me that there was no guarantee on room type. He was rude and said thats all they had and if I didn't want it I could stay somewhere else. When I got into the room, there was an entire wall with a dog mural staring at me. The room wasn't clean, carpet dirty, hair in sink, then I walked into the bedroom and it is the strangest decor I have ever seen. Hip doesn't mean nothing matches and the most unattractive color palate ever! The furniture was visibly beat up, scratched and marks all over. The wall had multiple black marks all over and the toilet was running. I put my things down and headed to the front desk before leaving for dinner to advise them of the running toilet. Upon my return 2 hours later, as I opened the door to my room and the toilet was still running and I went to call the desk. My room was facing the the windows of other hotel rooms and I found myself rushing to close the curtains because a man across the way was watching me and being "self serving" - not the hotels fault, I know, but very creepy none the less. I wet down to the desk to ask about my toilet and the new gentleman at the desk said he had no record of my earlier complaint and there was no one from engineering to be able to fix it. I asked for another room and he said there weren't any, so I went upstairs and promptly checked out at 12:30 am, off to find another hotel. I asked not to be charged, but since I had prepaid, he said there was nothing he could do.

Plussat: The staff were great - so friendly and helpful. The hotel room was clean and beautiful, and very unique. Awesome shower, and overall we loved it.

Plussat: Very helpful staff, great, clean and cozy room. We appreciated the rollaway, which was really far beyond the cot-like thing we had sort of expected (we added another person to the room after making the reservation, so knew it would be tight). We really appreciated the help with that and with extra toothpaste/brush. Thankful that quality is always high across any Kimpton hotels I've stayed at.

Miinukset: It seemed like it would have been helpful if there were more staff on-hand at peak times for check-in, etc. Staff was great and helpful, but having worked at a front desk, this one seemed like it could have benefited from a few more people.

Plussat: the staff was fabulous!!!he room was great exceptfor the lighting.There was a great chair to read in but no lamp there.Te room was too dark.Other than that, it was great.

Plussat: Large refillable shower supplies; better for environment than lots of little bottles. Beautiful room. Tea/coffee/drinks for guests. Convenient for public transportation.

Miinukset: Shower made awful high-pitched squealing sound. Room card became deactivated for no reason.

Plussat: The Monaco was located in walking distance to the inner harbor and the subway line was across the street.

Miinukset: The business center was on the pricey side.

Miinukset: Walked due to overbooking. Never contacted by hotel. Very poor service, the experience definitely turned me off to this chain.

Plussat: The free coffee in the morning and yoga mat in the room.

Miinukset: Had to request coffee in the room. I wish you could do that when you book the place so it's there when you check in.

Plussat: Super friendly staff, everything necessary for a quick trip in and out of the city.

Plussat: This is one of the best hostels I've ever stayed in. The staff is great, and they foster an awesome community vibe there. The building is clean, and actually a very charming space. It felt like home away from home. Also, they have free meals sometimes, which is fabulous! All you have to do is help to cook and clean up the mess! Loved it!

Miinukset: Baltimore is not exactly the safest city I've ever been to, nor is it a particularly glamorous place... but that is certainly not the hostel's fault! I think the staff did a good job of showing off the best parts of Baltimore to guests.

Plussat: Room was clean and comfortable. Helpful staff. Great location - a few minutes walk to the harbour and the aquarium. The building used to be a bank from the 1900s and they have retained a lot of interesting features. Great selection for the included breakfast.

Miinukset: The only parking is valet ($35 per day). On the last day (a Sunday) we went to breakfast an hour before it was due to end and there was no coffee left. We were there for 30 minutes, but it was never replenished, even though I and was told more was on its way. This is a minor annoyance. I would stay here again.

Plussat: The hotel staff changed my room when I brought to their notice that the water pressure was too low in my room.

Miinukset: Very limited breakfast options for vegans and vegetarians Hot water was a problem. The water pressure was low at 5th floor and the water was just luke warm. Very limited breakfast options for vegans and vegetarians.

Plussat: Large Rooms, great breakfast, friendly staff, clean, quiet, character

Plussat: - location and fun atmosphere - nice tv - great amenities like bikes to rent and live music - easy to book - awesome soap in a very large bathroom - tile floor in bathroom with no door to bathroom and hardwood in entrance and around the bed. easy to clean. - made to look modern and minimal

Miinukset: - GF claimed to be bitten by bed bugs. - The potatoes with the RL breakfast were soggy and the egg whites in the skinny scramble were under cooked. - closet was odd with downward sloping hangers too small for business jackets, no dressers. - too few electrical outlets. in order to charge your phone you had to place it under the tv all outlets next bed were overloaded with phone lamp and alarm clock.

Plussat: The urban element

Miinukset: There was limited hot water in the shower at times. Having some sort of room service would be nice.

Plussat: good location, only a couple blocks from the inner harbor and the power plant live, room was comfortable, lobby was quaint, staff helpful

Miinukset: could have used a bell hop service. if they had one, must have been busy. only saw one cart for luggage. lucky it was only me and my adult son, light on bags. :)

Plussat: Stayed in a huge king bed room. Lots of empty space that could have been filled with a couch and coffee table with the TV in front of it. But they chose to place the TV to the right side of the bed making it awkward to watch. With this tiny one person mini couch directly under the TV. ..What the point of that? The front desk staff need a little more training. And a button or something indicating that they work there. They're all in regards clothes. A guy looking to check in thought I worked there when I went down to see what was the hold up on the extra towels I called down for 2 hours prior.

Plussat: Large comfortable room. Friendly, helpful staff.

Miinukset: No closet, shelves or drawers, so no place to put things like laundry out of sight! No desk (although when I inquired they brought up a small table and chair that worked OK). Instead of the Murphy bed (which I had no use for) I would prefer a desk and dresser or cupboard.

Plussat: All staff were extremely friendly. Valet (Jody) went above and beyond to assist and always had a smile on his face. Decor is appealing and modern, the rooms were spacious and nicely done. Pets are allowed however if you are traveling without a pet you would never know dogs are in the building in regards to cleanliness and the occasional bark. Close proximity to all attractions. Elevator security features were a plus. Would definitely stay again

Miinukset: Bedding had stains, no mini fridge or microwave in the room, check-in a little awkward

Plussat: I liked the bikes for use, the game room, the lounge/cafe/restaurant. I also appreciate the stage for community engagement and fitness room. The room itself was small but had a large, luxurious bathroom.

Miinukset: It didn't have a business center. I had to ask the front desk attendant to print items for me. Parking was additional and somewhat expensive.

Plussat: Loved the decor and atmosphere!

Plussat: I couldn't have asked for more from the Red Lion. Gorgeous rooms, wood floors (a HUGE plus for me because of my allergies), a shockingly short walk to the Charm City Circulator's Purple line, wonderful and warm staff who go beyond the call of duty, and all for a very low last minute price!! I am also very picky about hotel beds as I have a bad back but this bed was everything I wanted. Not to mention all of the communal amenities I simply did not have a chance to check out because my trip was short! There is, apparently, a 24 hour gym and the lobby seems to be a wonderful place to relax, socialize, and create a sense of a hotel community. The Red Lion seems equiped to foster vacation friendships one would expect of an extended resort stay on an island somewhere, despite the fact that it is located in the heart of Baltimore. If anyone I know ever needs a hotel in Baltimore, I will insist they stay at the Red Lion.

Miinukset: Honestly, my only qualm was that I only booked a room for one night. Had I known how wonderful my accommodations would be, I may have extended my trip! Oh, and a full body mirror would be nice, but its absence was in no way a deal breaker.

Plussat: We really enjoyed our stay. The layout and design of their "lobby" was very modern with an industrial twist to the decor. They don't have the typical imposing front desk. Instead staff meets you at the door with a tablet and checks you in. The elevators are extra secure with room key only access. There is valet parking which is extra, but well worth it as we would have spent the same or thereabouts at a parking garage. Our room was amazing and nicely decorated. Excellent bed, excellent shower, but next time we will bring a cooler. Our room had a great view and was very close to the venue at Rams Head Live where we were headed. The next day there was a great band playing in the lobby so we stayed longer for that too. Most of all their staff was incredible!!! They were always friendly, knowledgeable, and ready to do anything for you. That includes the maid in the elevator who gave us the history of the building and the head engineer who was helping out in their great bar/restaurant when they were way overloaded with people. Great experience from beginning to end. We can't wait to come back.

Plussat: Great price for the location and on a weekend too!!

Miinukset: Room was facing street which was very noisy for 6am- 9am on a Saturday, trash pickup, street cleaning and another loud construction truck nearby but otherwise no complaints on behalf of the hotel staff or facilities!
