Historic Hotel Convenient to Inner Harbor
Though there is no good place to pull up to the building and check in, the self parking is located conveniently across the street from the hotel. The self-parking rate is $15/day unless you have special rates, as I did. I appreciated having the parking fee waived. The check-in process was quick, and all of the staff are efficient, extremely friendly and professional. The room I got was a good size and could have comfortably accommodated 2 people. It was a bit dated, but that is expected and forgivable since this is a historic hotel. Unfortunately, the room was in need of intensive housekeeping attention. There were hairs on the backside of one of the pillows, which prompted a check of the rest of the bedding. The sheets and rest of the bed appeared otherwise clean, and the dirty pillow was easily tossed aside. There was also caked dust around the air conditioning controls, and dead insects in the light fixtures. Thankfully, the bathroom was clean. There were ambient city and hotel noises, but they did not disturb my sleep too much. In the morning, I was easily able to catch a shuttle to the hospital after enjoying breakfast in the nice little cafe adjoining the hotel.
