Amazing staff - Comfy room - Great location
Pros:

Excellent stay! The location was perfect - walkable to shops, restaurants, waterfront. Staff was amazing - every single staff person was so friendly. Room was clean and comfortable. I had to work a few hours and there was a nice desk in the room to do that. They have a breakfast and put out snacks in the afternoon. There is a nice outdoor sitting area. Really great stay. Highly recommend for anyone staying in Baltimore.

Beautiful Property and Amazing Staff
Pros:

This is a lovely historic property right on the water. The views are absolutely fantastic and the hotel has real character. More importantly, all of the staff are wonderful and attentive. Shout out to Tara at the front desk for being a true star. She was so personable and inviting, she made us feel right at home during our check in process.

We can’t wait to go back!
Pros:

The hotel was clean, updated, in a nice setting on the water, great views, in a quiet residential neighborhood but just a couple blocks from local attractions-shops-restaurants-bakeries-bars! Continental breakfast and coffee in the morning were perfect! Freshly baked cookies in the evening were good too! Everyone working at the hotel was nice. The district manager and the person checking us in gave us advice on a few places to eat.

Cons:

I can’t think of anything!

Nice facilities but safety incident causes concerns
Pros:

The hotel itself is really nice and staff is super friendly. There are a few downsides.

Junk fees are plenty, some service fees etc and the indoor parking is outside (but it is safe).

The breakfast is not good.

During our stay the fire alarm went off and the acting of the employees did not inspire confidence. Obviously poorly trained running around like a headless chicken, being unable to check what set the alarm off and didn’t care about getting people out. Also, the alarm wasn’t audible in all rooms, some people slept through 30 minutes of constant siren. Other hotels usually have evacuation alarms in the rooms while this one only has it in the hallways. This is a safety concern big enough for me to not return until it’s fixed.

There was no fire this time, just some resident in the apartments above the hotel that overdosed and pulled the fire alarm to get help.

Nice Location; Confusing Fees
Pros:

Our stay at the hotel was fine. I am disappointed in the hotel's business practices. I paid $34 in fees and taxes when I booked the hotel and the hotel's website states "free wifi."
Upon arrival I was charged another service fee of $19.90 for "internet and a robe and slippers" (according to the desk clerk). Once in the room the hotel information card read "complimentary internet."
The robe and slippers were not in the room. When I asked about then, the desk clerk said the hotel did not have slippers available but did bring a robe.
The clerk also told me that parking was $30.00 a night but actually costs $36.00.
I would describe the experience as poor given the deceptive pricing practices, hidden and/or poorly explained fees. We only stayed one night but are unlikely to return.
The hotel was in a nice location and the staff was friendly. I have no complaints about the building, location, or the staff. My complaints are strictly with the business practices and communication of fees associated with our stay. Here are the things we enjoyed: the location was good. It was convenient to dining, shops, and area entertainment. I am sure there are other chain hotels that can provide the same convenience without the confusing and misleading fee structures.
