Hotels Near St Francis Neighborhood Center in Baltimore

Very clean and friendly

Ah, Baltimore, a city of rich history and eclectic charm. My wife and I recently had the pleasure of a stay at the Hotel Ulysses, a luxurious retreat nestled in the heart of this vibrant city. True to the reputation of the New York-based design firm, Ash, the Ulysses is nothing short of an architectural marvel. The first thing that catches your eye? The hotel's impeccable aesthetic. It's a masterful blend of old-world charm and modern design, encapsulating the very essence of Baltimore's diverse character. While the rooms might have been a tad on the cozier side, they more than made up for it with their plush comfort and attention to detail. The Ulysses truly exemplifies the notion that beauty lies in the details, and the meticulousness with which they've curated every aspect of the guest experience speaks volumes. The 19th-century charm of the Mount Vernon neighborhood is beautifully echoed within the Ulysses. The delicate stained-glass skylight, the ornate crown molding, and the preserved brass postal box serve as a testament to the building's rich history. But it's not all vintage here. The interiors seamlessly transition from the ornate influences of the Art Nouveau era to a more streamlined approach, evident in the hickory wood furniture adorned with Ash’s custom textiles. And oh, those hand-beaded lampshades and embroidered quilts! They added the perfect splash of color and quirk. A special shout-out to the carved flamingos that support the bedside tables, a delightful nod to Baltimore's own John Waters and his ”Pink Flamingos.” It's this mix of opulence and eccentricity that makes the Ulysses stand out. Booking through Trip.com was a new experience for us. A bit unconventional, sure, but it came through in the clutch. The $35 ”destination fee” threw us for a loop initially, but the $20 credit we received towards our bill at the hotel restaurant (Ash Bar) or the bar (Blooms) made it all worth it. Speaking of Blooms, what an experience! The mirrored ceiling, the crimson banquettes, and the purple stools set the stage for a night to remember. In a nutshell? The Hotel Ulysses is a triumph, an ode to Baltimore's multifaceted spirit. Whether you're here for the history, the design, or the sheer experience, the Ulysses promises and delivers. Highly recommended! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

The location and view are 5 stars. The hotel is small and has insufficient facilities but the decoration design is 4 stars. The service is in place and enthusiastic. However, the late-shift front desk may not have parking for them. It is a bit negative 3 stars.

The hotel is just on the other side of JHU. Very convenient. And the restaurant of the hotel is good. The room is spacious. But the interior decoration is old.

The reception staff are very friendly, the location is strategic, safe and convenient, the environment is clean and bright, and there are many delicious breakfast options. It is the best choice for tourists staying in Baltimore.

The hotel staff is exceptionally kind from the front desk to the cleaning staff. The location is a few blocks from the harbor and located next to Lexington Market. The breakfast was good with a waffle machine, eggs, sausage, yummy oatmeal with a wide variety of add-inns. Blueberry compote and candied pecans were my favorites. The room is spacious and clean with comfy beds and pillows. Overall I definitely would recommend. It's was a great price for the service. Newly renovated!

When I arrived I didn't have a king size bed it was a queen and my friend is to tall for a queen. Second there was no breakfast and one of the employee got in too with my friend. So I wasn't happy about my stay their.

The hotel is located in downtown, convenient for travel, and the overall experience of staying is not bad.

The hotel is in the city center, opposite the Hilton, the gym is on the ground floor of the hotel. There are not many facilities. The old beauty hotel does not have slippers, toothpaste and toothbrush. Domestic tourists need to get used to it. The room is still quite large. The overall is good.

The location of the hotel is close to the waterfront, which is convenient for dining out and sightseeing. The interior design is also very distinctive, and it is recommended in many hotels in the Central Business District!
