Needs a lot of work
My wife and I plus our Dog are actually just finishing a two night stay at this hotel. We came into Baltimore to catch a Ravens game and chose this hotel because there were one of the few hotels that took dogs. As well, I received a 20% discount booking through the Radisson website. Our total room a night rate was $89.00 which was another reason we picked this hotel as it was $140 to stay elsewhere.
Good:
Location was great if you are doing things in town. 15 min walk from Oriole Park and M&T Bank stadium.
Hotel also has very nice traditional decor.
Bad:
In order to actually find green space for your dog to go to the washroom you need to walk 2 blocks but really this is something small and more of a pain for 8am wake-ups for going outside.
The "sleep number" bed didn't work properly. I personally can't stand these beds in the first place but getting one that doesn't work made matters worse.
Parking is really not great here. I was informed by the front desk that parking was free on the weekends if I could find street parking, but this wasn't available. So I could either park across the street in an undergroud garage for $15 or get valet for $31. I obviously parked myself. While the garage is really not great, so far my truck is still in one piece.
We had a corner room and because we had a dog, were placed on the third floor. Anyone outside 3 floors down talking could easily be heard and sirens from the street were often heard. We have a 20 lbs cock-a-poo who is fully trained. We could have been on a higher floor but this the hotels policy.
Ugly:
The California shutters in the shower are completly disgusting! I mean how difficult is it to clean 2 shutters? They were covered in dirt and then streaked dirt when we took showers.
This an old hotel, so I understand some issues, but showering in this hotel is a chore. The hot water changes from freezing cold to scalding hot every 30 seconds or so, which makes any shower a dance from the front to the back of the tub. It felt like someone was flushing the toilet every 30 seconds around me.
There is potential here, but I am not sure if Radisson wants to put the effort in.
I wouldn't stay here again unless I was forced to because of my dog or because there was a crazy special on.
