It really was that bad
I am on the last of three very long nights at the Radisson Lord Baltimore Hotel. The reviews do not do justice for how badly this place needs a serious makeover. The front desk staffs seem very nice but are absolutely clueless when it comes to issues surrounding the property. I got my first hint on day one when they booked me into a room that had no bed…..it was truly amazing. The second instance was watching a young lady try to explain how to use the elevators. I think inquired about using the stairs. The doors are supposedly all locked but the ones by the service elevator allow you to move freely throughout the hotel if you do not mind walking up many many stairs. 
The property is not in an area that I feel is overly safe. I am 6’1 and about 190lbs and did not have any problems but the presence of 2-3 police officers every two blocks after dark will give you some idea of the issues the area surrounding the hotel faces. It is only 3-4 blocks from the Inner Harbor but I would probably not want to walk around solo in some places too long. 
I only ate one meal at the hotel and it was in their Lord Baltimore restaurant. The booths had tears in them patched with black duct tape. If breakfast were not free I would have walked out. I ended up getting my own coffee from the pot as the one waitress/hostess on staff at 7:30 on a Weds. AM was in the weeds. 
We were forced to select this hotel as part of our meeting group of approximately 15. I know of one other guy whose bed had a colony of ants in it when he checked in. So far, the maid has only come once to my room and when she did come she did not bother doing anything other than giving me new towels and making the bed. The sink/vanity were not cleaned. Our group has made a request of the agency we are meeting with and we will never be back to this hotel again. Truly a bad experience.
