Quaint hotel with outstanding staff
Pros:

Adorable hotel with very friendly staff. Nicely situated in Baltimore. Fun change from the standard.

Cons:

Rooms are adorable but unusually tiny (not uncommon in big cities, but still). The bathroom smelled like mildew and I found the toilet and shower being on opposite sides of the hall a little odd.

Pros:

This room was honestly really dissapointing. I thought after reading all the good reviews that this place would be unique and different...this place really is not anything special. The bed and room itself are reallly really small. The shower didnt work, the tv stand broke , it really was wayyyy over priced as well. I AM NOT EVEN. PICKY PERSON BUT TRUST ME WHEN I SAY SAVE YOUR MONEY.

Good hotel with charm but needs better air circulation.
Pros:

Quirky hotel very clean and the staff were very nice.

Cons:

The room didn’t have much air circulation no exhaust in the bath room. Not good for menopausal women.

Pros:

Great location, love the decor and vibe of the hotel. Our room was cute and quiet. The bar and attached speakeasy are both really cool spaces. Staff was friendly and helpful. Easy parking nearby and lots of great restaurants in a block or two.

Cons:

My only complaint is that the water pressure in the shower was terrible. And hey maybe not something they can control.

Comfortable bed in a dim and tiny room
Pros:

Design details were really neat, the bed was super comfortable, the bathroom was spacious. Felt like a nice historical place to stay.

Cons:

Most things were just so small, narrow, sparse, and dark. I felt like I needed the flashlight on my phone a few times just for normal functioning.
