Easy stay very complimentary it’s services very friendly staff the amenities were top notch and it was definitely worth the amount it cost I definitely look forward to staying again and would suggest this location to anyone who wants to have a relaxing evening

Excellent housekeepers and friendly staff. They gave me the room that I was looking for, it is a good value for the price. I am impress with security and well lit property. I would recommend this even for business.

I don't like being fooled by reviews like most of the ones this place has. Most of them must be for a different place. Going in order... First, this place is difficult to get to. The GPS in my car was repeatedly ”fooled” while trying to get there. To say that this hotel is in a rough part of a violent city is an understatement. The only way I succeeded in finding it was to first use the address of a pizza place I planned to go to for supper, and then updating the GPS. This ”hotel” is in an industrial development which has long since seen better days. Getting accosted at an intersection by an aggressive panhandler while enroute was a highlight of the trip to this ”hotel”. When I finally got there, I had to be ”beeped” in by the desk clerk. Yes, there is an electric lock on the door to allow entry into the lobby. This was in a manner not unlike you would expect in a high-security prison. Indeed, most U.S. airport terminals aren't as secure as the lobby of this hotel is. While I was being checked-in, I was intrigued by the ”rules” of the hotel. Especially the one about ”visitors” (and the hours they're allowed) in guest rooms. The inattention to grammar on the signs about smoking (see photo) should've given me a clue on what awaited me. Since this is only a two-story hotel, there is no elevator. However, my request for a ground-floor room was ignored (despite the hotel appearing to be near empty) and I had to navigate the stairs. Perhaps it was for my safety that I was located on the upper level? The room was reasonably well-decorated and initially seemed clean. The whole interior of the place appears to have been recently remodeled. Unfortunately, the heating in the room wasn't up to the task of keeping the place warm on a sub-freezing night. The worst part of all was the absence of hot water at 7:00 AM! This is unacceptable! It was a preview of the chill that awaited me in the hallway as it was quite cold when I went down to breakfast. I have to say ”initially seemed clean” (despite a strange ”guard” installed on the light switch next to the room door), because, when I turned around, there was an obvious ”X” mark/stain left on the inside of the room door. There was also a chip in the finish of the bathtub. The wiring for the hairdryer appears to have been an afterthought. There was no microwave in the room although there was an opening in the entertainment center where one could've fit. (There was a fridge, though...) There was also a noticeable crack in one wall. Finally, there was a stain on the chair. Please see the attached photos. The best thing I can say about this place is that the sausage at breakfast was quite good. The eggs on the other hand, looked like an industrial/institutional product. Between that cold water for the shower, the room not getting above a cool temperature, and the frosty morning chill in the upstairs corridor, this hotel is setting an example of what ”green” pract

The hotel is kind hidden in a dark area (I arrived at night), which made me wonder. Other than that, I had a very nice stay. Everything was comfortable, pillows were very nice. Breakfast is pandemic style: cereals, some bread, etc, things you see everywhere nowadays. The only hot food is make-yourself waffle.

I spent one weekend night here. My GPS took me to the stores in front of the hotel. I was in a Williams and Sonoma parking lot so if that happens to you, just know you need to follow the road next to the parking garage to behind the Williams and Sonoma and you'll find the hotel. Not the hotel's fault, I'm just mentioning it in case it happens to you too. The two gentlemen at the front desk for check in were both very nice. I went to my room and found it to be clean and very spacious. It was very dark though and the whole inside of the room and hotel just seems old. The room was pretty hot when I got in there but it was the hottest weekend of the year and I figured had just been hotter because housekeeping turned the temperature up like a lot do after somebody checks out. At check in, I had asked about a restaurant but they said that theirs closed during Covid and never reopened. They did give me a sheet with a bunch of local recommendations for other restaurants. I picked one of those and when I went back to the lobby to go eat, I overheard workers talking about the broken AC. So the reason my room was hot is because the whole hotel's AC had gone out. This just happens, I get it. I'll say that the hotel had somebody out there in just a couple hours to have it fixed and my room was getting cool by the time I was ready to go to bed which was good. Unfortunately, I had to leave at 0745 on Saturday morning and their breakfast doesn't start until 0800 on the weekends. It's earlier on a weekday. I wish this policy would be changed. The price was reasonable and the location was pretty convenient for what I was in town for. I'm not sure I would stay here again though if I ever end up staying in Baltimore again.

Walking distance to everything downtown. Beautiful rooms, great ambiance in the hotel dining room and bar. We didn’t eat so I can’t rate the food, although others looked like they were enjoying it! We will come again!

I had flown in for a wedding. Of course my luggage didn't make it with me. I had a room at the hotel just for the night of the wedding, but my father had one until the end of the weekend. I had to negotiate with the airline endlessly to arrange for the arrival of my bags, and even though I had already checked out, the lovely manager (whose name I didn't get to my chagrin) graciously allowed the storage of my luggage until Saturday night, as I couldn't collect it on the Sabbath. She was especially accommodating, as was any other staff member I encountered. I recommend places not based on the amenities per se (not that there was anything to complain about in that area) but based on the people running the place. And your hotel was absolutely amazing. Thank you!

The hotel is always pretty clean. However I think they should renovate immediately. Another plus is they have food for sale in the lobby. Prices are always reasonable. Some rooms have microwave and mini fridge others don't have either. Smoking room I had,had cigarette burns all over the room including the bathroom.
