The building itself on the interior is modern and relatively clean but that is the only positive. The area directly around this hotel is horrible as stated by other reviewers and is exactly if not worse as described. There is lots of trash and paraphernalia covering the sidewalks as well as people high as a kite wandering around aimlessly. As close as this location seems to the safer areas (Camden Yards/Inner Harbor), it is about 1 block further then you would hope. For people familiar with Massachusetts, Methadone Mile would be a similar comparison to this area. After parking down the street at a parking garage ( Arrow Parking, I do recommend if you unfortunately stay at this hotel) and making the 1 minute walk to the hotel, we walked past several homeless appearing people sitting up against the hotel and entered the hotel. The room smelt really weird but seemed clean enough. At around 4am, I was awoken by the sound of my room’s front door slamming against the deadbolt repeatedly by people attempting to get in the room. The people appeared intoxicated and agitated trying to force themselves in the room saying it was their room and to get out, yelling, and attempting to reach through the open space left by the dead bolt. After pushing the door shut and securing the door with the second lock, the people yelled for a few more moments then left. This is absolutely unacceptable as the staff at the desk would have had to issue them this room key to be able to unlock my door. It is absolutely ridiculous that this was allowed to happen and that there is no fail safes in place by upper management and corporate so that room cards are not issued to the same room to different people. This incident could have led to the theft of my belongings in the room when I was not there, or worse, the injuries or deaths of the parties involved due to an altercation. When I checked out in the morning, I notified the staff of the incident to which she apologized but seemed generally unfazed that this happened. I hope that no other poor tourist gets sucked into this place by the cheap prices.
