Great clean and well-located hotel - great value!
I am giving this 4 stars mainly because it exceeded expectations for what I paid. It's more if a 3-star hotel - with excellent value.
I believe I paid $100 including taxes due to a special they were having. First of all, this is walking distance from the tram from the airport which was $1.60. They allowed me early check-in at noon so I could drop my stuff off and go the the Orioles game with my cousin at 1:30. There is only one person at the front desk, so a small line each time I got there, but they were fast and attentive. You are close enough to see the harbor from the hotel - and I would say as a single female I felt safe walking around by myself, though it was mostly during the day I was outside. The room was large with a comfy king bed. Coffee / tea facilities, microwave and fridge all available in room. My room was not the best located - 210 - second floor facing a side alley and brick wall about 10 feet away - but like I said - I paid $100 which I think was the cheapest hotel around for this weekend. It didn't bother me. Lastly I will say there is free breakfast, located in the Cloud room on the top floor. Great views of Baltimore's Inner Harbor. The food was great - selection of breakfast meats, eggs, omelet, homemade waffles, juices, coffee, yogurt, bagels, donuts, etc. I would say in a restaurant this would cost $20 easy incl tip. So i absolutely got a bargain. To top it off they allowed me a late checkout at 1:30 so I could take a tour of Camden Yards without rushing. I will definitely stay again if I return to Baltimore, unless the Renaissance has a fire sale, which of course will never happen :). There is also a shuttle to John Hopkins for those who are there for medical treatment. Luckily I was not in need, but it's worth a mention for those who might need it. Oh - and you have access to 2 computers in the lobby with a printer - this helped with boarding passes!
