Central and Cheap
Walking distance to the tourist magnet (Inner Harbor.) Architecturally interesting with high ceilings in rooms and lobby. They have a water cooler with "orange" flavored water which was refreshing. They serve standard complimentary breakfast with waffles, eggs and other average semi-edibles. Our room was spacious and clean but the corridor outside smelled of smoke and looked dingy. The bathroom was tiny but clean. Our shower made a terrible racket when turned on (it sounded like the ceiling would come crashing down with the thumping sound) but was hot and had good pressure. 
My real problem with this hotel came from the lady at the front desk. She was extremely rude and unhelpful over the simplest of requests. I asked her for an extra room key (she only gave us one) and she flat out refused. Said she had to "save" them for other guests. No apology for any inconvenience caused. No solution offered. Just a flat no...and that was just one example.
As somebody who stayed here for only one night and spent most of the time outside the hotel, this place worked but calling it anything above average would be unfair.
