Categories

Cleanliness
6.8
Multiple guests reported mold in grout, missing towel racks/limited towels, flies and inconsistent housekeeping; some areas (lobby/hallways) noted as clean but room-level cleanliness is a recurring negative.
Service
9.6
Mixed reports but generally strong: several mentions of polite front-desk staff and an outstanding waitress (China) and efficient valet at times; isolated incidents of rude front-staff and very slow valet retrievals noted, but overall service is a strength.
Location
9
Frequently praised for proximity to venues and downtown attractions (close to CFG/venues), convenient for events; however guests flagged safety concerns (homeless/drug use nearby).
Room Quality
6.6
Multiple complaints about outdated rooms and maintenance: lumpy/uneven beds, cracked bathroom window, broken safes, missing fixtures and signs of needed repairs — room quality scores below average.
Amenities
8.8
Strong lobby/bar atmosphere and useful on-site food options; rooftop/sky bar is a positive when available but has been closed at times; elevators are slow and sometimes out of service, creating inconsistency.
Value for Money
8.6
Perceived as reasonably priced by some given the historic character; others complained about extra fees (e.g., $50 valet) and service shortfalls that reduce perceived value.
Food and Beverage
9
Mixed but generally positive: praised restaurant staff and cafe/coffee choices; disappointments include breakfast not included/unexpected charges and an isolated report of a DoorDash delivery theft.
Overall Experience
8.8
Guests appreciate the hotel's history, lively lobby/bar and location for events, but ongoing maintenance, room condition and occasional service/safety issues lead to a mixed overall impression.

NOT worth it!
Pros:

The location is what I consider the good thing about this place.

Cons:

The front staff was rude and aggressive. I had my food ordered via DoorDash stolen. I have been to many hotels and my food was never stolen. I stayed in a “King suite” but breakfast was not included and their supposedly “cool rooftop” was shutdown because it rained earlier.

Disappointing y
Cons:

Our room had one chair. The bathroom had a cracked window and thw upper portion was Frosted with partially missing area and no curtain. The safe did not work due to low battery. The bed was lumpy and uneven. They were doing repairs outside until 1am.

My favorite hotel in Baltimore
Pros:

I always enjoy staying at the Lord Baltimore Hotel. It's got history and character. It's a decent hotel but not super luxury so the prices are reasonable. I enjoy hanging out in the lobby, or in the lobby bar, it's often full of people and has a lively atmosphere. Especially fun if you're a baseball fan and you're staying there during an Orioles homestand, when the lobby and the area just outside the hotel are full of people wearing swag from both teams. I like the fact there are some food options at the hotel. I don't tend to go to the sky bar but that's a nice feature also. Generally the staff at the front desk are nice and I appreciate interacting with them (I don't like this current trend in hotels of having guests interact with kiosks instead of people). The rooms are quite adequate, again nothing fancy but they provide everything I need. Last time I stayed I actually got an upgrade which was a nice surprise; the front desk clerk gave it to me cuz I had recently joined the hotel's Stash rewards program. When taking the elevator in this hotel be sure and look at the historic photos and texts there. A lot of Baltimore history..
