The staff were extremely pleasant and the rooms were clean.
Pros:

The staff were extremely nice and understanding of our situation with all the travel changes that unexpectedly happened. And the rooms were really clean and spacious.

Cons:

I didn't like that the trash cans didn't have any bags inside them, as all our previous hotel experience included them. It made cleaning up after ourselves a little harder.

Excellent hotel in a neighborhood that still needs work.
Pros:

The hotel was lovely & the staff was wonderful.

Cons:

The neighborhood didn't seem 100% safe.
It is in a neighborhood that is not yet amazing. There was a homeless shelter across the street & sometimes people were sitting or lying on the sidewalk.

I’ve been in 5* indigo hotels around the world and they were amazing. This one in Baltimore has 4* but wouldn’t go there
Pros:

Spacious room, comfortable queen beds which fit 2 people, breakfast was decent.

Cons:

Noisy AC, the room wasn’t really clean with some dust here and there. We were 3 people and they gave only 2 sets of towels, when asked for third set, it came but shower towel had holes. Breakfast policy about having only 2 vouchers per room is ridiculous. No water bottles were given to us as complimentary gift while the Holiday Inn Express gives them - this is disappointing for a 4* hotel.

All in all it was a good stay. I would stay there again.
Pros:

It has a history look.

Cons:

We eat breakfast in the restaurant in the hotel and the wait was really long to get our food. That needs some improvement

Excellent staff and delicious restaurant with a comfortable bed
Pros:

Staff was great and having convenient and delicious food available was great for a bad weather night and the departing morning

Cons:

A lot of the tourist attractions were a drive away so location-wise wasn’t great with needing to use a Lyft ride 10+ minutes away
