Baltimore hotellit lähellä Enoch Pratt Free Library

Plussat: This hotel has a great location and friendly staff. It has a nice, old-fashioned feel which gives it a romantic quality for the price. The decor and furniture are attractive and classic, albeit a bit shabby when examined closely. We were particularly impressed with the bathroom in our corner room,which was filled with marble tiles and a towel warmer. Everything was clean and pleasant. The bar/restaurant attached is a nice place for cocktails as well, especially as a warm-up for a night out in the wonderful area of Mt. Vernon. This neighborhood is desirable for those from out of town, and this hotel provided good prices and an overall pleasant stay.

Miinukset: Parking can be an issue; they have valet service (for between $20-$35) that I recommend to anyone not familiar with the neighborhood (we had lived around the corner years before, so knew how to find good parking sports). Additionally, we were staying during an extremely cold (below average temperatures) weekend, and found everything to be a little chilly. On top, we found that the bed was made with only three small pillows and a thin blanket (fine for one person, but there were two of us). When we asked for an extra blanket and pillows later that night, the front desk sadly informed us that they had run out due to a high demand of requests. While they were very sorry, it does seem strange that they had dressed the bed in so few pillows and blankets to begin with, though I understand the need to go for a more minimalist approach in order to conserve energy, etc (and do respect that).

Plussat: Very lovely place, excellent location. Staff was helpful

Miinukset: Bedding was great whne we arrived, but we did find leftover food in the fridge from the previous guests which made us a little wary of using the tub because we weren't sure how thorough the cleaning was

Plussat: The room was nice and clean, confertable beds.

Miinukset: The reception was rude, we wanted to get food in the middle of the night but there was no one in the building working to suggest any thing to us.

Plussat: Really nice hotel - we were given a larvger room, which was very clean and spacious. The staff was very friendly. The only thing is valet parking was $30 - NYC pricing... Around the corner parking lot was $10- should have parked my car there overnight.

Plussat: It's in a good location.

Miinukset: Hotel is old and well-worn - in desperate need of a rehab. Despite the Joie de Vivre name, the desk clerk on our arrival was decidedly not happy. We booked a two-bed room and got a king with a too-short foldaway cot, and on one of the coldest days of the year they did not have any spare blankets, so we were given three sheets instead. For $80 a night it would have been ok - for twice that, it was a ripoff.

Plussat: Due to an error in receiving my reservation information from a third party booking agency, the were no available rooms of the type I had reserved. So, the hotel was forced to give me a nicer room at the same rate. The room was a bit dated, but the jetted tub and sitting area were very nice. While the front desk staff and valet seemed to lack professionalism, the staff at the hotel bar were quite welcoming and friendly.

Miinukset: When the desk clerk could not locate information on my reservation, she told me to have a seat nearby while she looked for my reservation elsewhere. When she still couldn't find it, she shouted to me across the lobby that her GM said she can't let me into a room until she got the payment details from Kayak and that I had to call Kayak to resolve the issue. I guess asking me to step up to the desk to discuss my situation or calling Kayak herself was too much trouble. While I called Kayak customer service to attempt to resolve the issue, other guests arrived to check in. As a result, the only clerk working the front desk was busy and could not speak with the Kayak representative I had on my cell phone and they had to call the clerk at the hotel a while later to attempt to resolve the issue. While I sat at the lobby waiting for Kayak to call the desk clerk, a hotel valet came to the front desk and used the phone there to loudly order food for himself and the desk clerk from a local restaurant. And then he proceeded to argue with the restaurant about it giving a discount to hotel employees. Not only was this inappropriate business to conduct at the front desk, but I'm left wondering why the front desk clerk has time to tell the valet what she wants to eat, but she can't call Kayak to attempt to resolve the issue with my room. Once the desk clerk spoke with someone from Kayak, she again shouted to me across the lobby about the status of the issue. She said they needed to fax her the information again. After waiting another 5-10 minutes, I approached the desk and asked if she had received the information she needed yet. She said no and walked away from me to FINALLY check the fax machine. Lo and behold, the information she needed was there and she checked me into my room with barely a perfunctory apology for the delay. She also made sure to tell me the issue was that the Kayak third party service provider handling my reservation had the wrong fax number for the hotel so the issue was really someone else's fault. I guess this hotel is nice enough for the price if you don't have any issues with which you need any customer service. But if there is the slightest issue, or you just stick around the lobby for a little while, you'll see that the staff really doesn't seem to have much training on professionalism. I was pretty disappointed by the experience.

Plussat: The hotel felt classy and luxurious. The staff was super friendly and helpful. The valet service was prompt and careful. Great stay. Lovely location. Very clean. Great view. Good deal through Kayak.

Miinukset: The bed was way too hard for my personal preference and comfort. Shower could have used a little updating, but the pressure and temperature were perfect.

Plussat: My room

Miinukset: Lobby

Plussat: Location

Miinukset: Horrible customer service! Tons of attitude and talking back. I stayed there for 5 nights, and my room wasn't cleaned at all 2 days out of those. The front desk lady told me in the end of the day that it wasn't her job to clean, that all the cleaning stuff was out for the day, and that there was no manager I could talk to on premises. She told me to just suck it up and wait till the next day (I am not exaggerating !). When I asked her if cleaning services were supposed to be included in my daily room charges, she said yes. Then there was the ongoing issue with them not replenishing toiletries at all even so that was also included in the daily room charges. All and all, this could of been a great hotel if all the front desk staff was replaced or retrained

Plussat: Bar is great with wonderful happy hour foods Quiet, nice king bed on 12th floor Uber taxi to Johns Hopkins for $5 Excellent location Great rate thru Kayak Park for $12 a day a block or two away.

Miinukset: Would like to be be able to get coffee by 6

Plussat: The room was very clean and spacious. The bathroom was beautiful and had amenities like a towel warmer and an overhead heat lamp. The hotel was in a great location in the heart of Mt Vernon - I could see the Washington Monument from my window. Housekeeping was very accommodating to our schedule and left the room pristine.

Miinukset: To preface this review, I stayed at the Wyndham for a total of 6 nights. The WIFI worked about half the time, which was detrimental because I was in Baltimore to take intensive courses at JHU and couldn't do my homework in the room. The staff blamed it on the windy weather, but it was such a huge inconvenience. My keycard also failed to work more than half the time, which was another annoyance. The front desk also overcharged me for "incidentals," a total of $115. They charge $50/day up to 2 days, which should only have come up to $100, so where did that extra $15 come from? They were pleasant enough about it, and corrected it accordingly, but I warn future guests to double check their transactions. Also, the fridge in the room wouldn't get cold even though it was plugged in, and the microwave emitted a scary burning smell when used. Finally, I stopped by IN PERSON the day before my check-in to request an extension of my check-out time from 11am to 2pm, and they happily obliged. Then, the night before my check-out date, I called down to the front desk to confirm and they claimed that they were overbooked and can only extend my check-out time to 12pm. When I let them know I made the request prior to check-in, no one seemed to know what I was talking about. They were kind enough to offer to store my luggage, but again, an inconvenience. Overall, my stay was mediocre due to the faulty amenities, but the staff was gracious and polite about everything. Still, I don't think I would stay here again.

Plussat: I loved how welcomed I felt by the staff. The building is beautiful in a historic part of town. George's restaurant has a great Maryland crab Benedict.

Miinukset: No family-oriented amenities.

Miinukset: start at the start there no way from the parking to the hotel with out going outside this is wong and nothing tell you this?? it said bar in room wong.

Plussat: All employees were very helpful. They freely provided helpful information pertaining to how to get to places and great info as to where to dine within a short walk.

Miinukset: Unfortunately we had an issue with our room reservation and this did not sit well with us since we were traveling with our young son. We made a reservation that included a king bed. When we checked in they informed us that they "over-booked and did not have any rooms available with king beds. We informed them that we made the reservation that way because we needed the room for our son. Didn't matter. They did compensate us by giving us free/complementary breakfast and snacks but that didn't change our feelings or put us in a room with a king bed. We were given a room with two double beds and we made it work but it was not as convenient. We will seriously take this into consideration if and or when we use this site or make another reservation.

Plussat: Nice room, pool was great, location in the heart of it all!! Very secure also.

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Great room and staff. Location is great

Miinukset: Maybe we were just there on a bad weekend, but there were a lot of rowdy kids at the hotel. Noise was a problem.

Plussat: Location was perfect We needed a new remote control for tv and staff ca,e up immediately. All staff was by friendly

Miinukset: Our room desperately needs new mattresses. 11018 as soon as you walked in you could tell because of the lumps. Everything else was wonderful.

Plussat: Convenience and quiet

Miinukset: Distance from elevator to rooms is excessive.

Plussat: Spacious rooms and good service

Miinukset: Parking was expensive

Plussat: The view in the room, the room's cleanliness; the design, the staff , the convenience re :parking

Plussat: Overall it was good, excellent service

Miinukset: the shower was a little dated and could use an update

Miinukset: After paying over 300 hundred a night, they ofer you a view upgrade for an extra 40 a night, which is fine is a beautiful view of the harbor, but you have to pay an extra 30 dollars a day to park your car. And when I ask the offer me the internet for free but since the person that checked me in was not there they tried to backed out of it saying that there was no way they could give it to me for free because it was 15 more a day. The people at front desk were very, very rude. Except when you are checking in and they are trying to sell you something.

Plussat: Clean rooms. Accomodating staff. Let me check in early.

Plussat: The hotel was clean and relatively quiet. Most of the staff was helpful and friendly.

Miinukset: We returned home from dinner one night to find a card that had been slipped under our door, soliciting clients for an escort service. I also selected online not to have room cleaning for the first day but house keeping still showed up and woke us up.

Plussat: I travel to Baltimore on business several times each year. And this hotel has always been my favorite place to stay. Good location, very good food, and just a nice ambiance.

Miinukset: This time -- if seemed a little off. I got to my room and there was an overwhelming chemical smell. I didn't know if the room was just renovated (it was very nice, but it didn't seem that way) or they were trying to cover something up. Maybe I should have requested another room, but I was beat, so I did not. Secondly, in what must be an attempt to be "cutting edge", they give each bed three very small pillows. Really, they were the size of throw pillows that you put on your couch. I don't know if their research tells them that people's heads are getting smaller or something, but I just could not get comfortable. When I first saw the room, I thought they forgot sleeping pillows on both beds. Then I looked in the closet for the normal sized ones -- no luck. As sleeping is the #1 reason people stay in hotels, this is kind of a bummer. Very hard for me to get to sleep each night. Third, at breakfast in the morning they have a very nice buffet. it is expensive (about $22-23 + tip), but that is the going rate at nice hotels. But one of the mornings I stayed there, even though it wasn't terribly busy, they were very undermanned at the restaurant. I pretty much had to "steal" coffee and cream etc from other tables, as I could not get service (after waiting 15 minutes to be seated). I'm glad it was a buffet, or I'd still be waiting for that breakfast. I left a good tip of course, as that is a management problem and not the employees' fault. Maybe I'm being hard on the hotel, but it is expensive to stay there, and I know they can do much better, as they have done so many times in the past.

Plussat: Great location! Welcoming and very helpful staff! Large & Clean room. Will definitely stay again.

Miinukset: Can't say anything bad about our stay.

Miinukset: Ok. Busy weekend. Crowded elevators and lobby.

Plussat: Nice hotel in a great location - easy access to the inner harbor!

Miinukset: Nothing

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: Staff upbeat and helpful! Room was clean, all touch spaces were clean! ( Light switches/ door knobs / tv remote / curtain pull rods). Spacious room.

Miinukset: Bad bathroom handicap accommodation conversion. Bathroom counter not lowered, tub is a standard step in with hand rail. Really restrictive space in the bathtub with all the rails and shower head rod. Mirrors not cantered for standing or sitting viewing .

Plussat: The cleanliness of the rooms and the facilities. The staff were very friendly and helpful.

Plussat: I booked this hotel as a last minute getaway for the family. The staff were overwhelmingly friendly, rooms were clean and it was in close proximity to dowtown. The pool and hot tub, while small, were sufficient. The Orioles stadium is right across the street, so it would be a great location if going to a game. Also, lots of restaurants nearby.

Miinukset: The food provided for the continental breakfast was your typical items and looked good, however the location was not sufficient to handle a large group of people. The staff did eventually open a meeting room so there was extra seating. The only other negative is location, if staying with young kids (mine were 5 &7). It was more of a hike than I expected to Inner Harbor.

Plussat: We were very disappointed. Hotel was kind of smelly. No fresh air in the building. Swimming pool area was dirty . The hot tub was not hot at all . It was warm water. Someone called for maintenance and the guy said to wait until it warms up (until late afternoon) he said there was nothing they can do about it . We received a great service from all of the front desk staff and we liked the comp breakfast

Plussat: The rooms were very nice and the beds were comfortable. There was a good selection of breakfast options, and it was nice that they had grab and go bags. I also thought the fitness center was very clean and everything was functioning properly. The valet drivers were also very friendly and helpful, and got the car quickly every time we needed it.

Miinukset: Very strong chlorine smell in the basement near the pool. One elevator was broken the entire time I was there, and the functioning elevator moved quite slowly. I was also disappointed that there was no hotel bar, as the Hampton usually has complimentary happy hour in addition to the included breakfast. I erroneously assumed that the "complimentary beverage area" referred to on the website included a bar with happy hour.

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
