My sister had a wedding this past weekend at the Sheraton! It was the perfect! The venue was fantastic Our wedding coordinators – Kathleen B until she went until maternity leave and then we had Stephanie D were TOP NOTCH

They were always available to answer any questions that we had They provided my sister and mother with 5 star service and met them many times to make sure that the details were perfect The hall was beautiful The video they had running outside the hall was a special touch that upgraded the event The hotel block was perfect as well they kept us all on the same floor so we had an awesome time before and after the wedding I would recommend this venue and hotel to anyone looking for a 5 star staff, hotel, event planner and all around venue!!! We will be back Thank you Sheraton for making my sisters special day FANTASTIC!!!!

It’s my first time staying at this hotel The hotel was quiet and not too busy when my wife and I were there The staff are nice and the room is clean

The breakfast buffet could be better for its price But then again, the friendly and attentive staff, the quietness and cleanliness more than made up for its lack in food selectionsWould also be nice if the hotel upgrades the lobby, restaurant, hallways and rooms None of these made my experience any worse but would help create a more luxurious and inviting ambience especially since it is the only major hotel in this area since the Marriott near Towson University closed

The toilet did not work I called the front desk twice and no one from “engineering” came I had to keep coming downstairs to use the restroom

The towels were DINGY The sheets were not white I had to sleep on top of the bed fully clothed since the chair had stains all over it also Beyond Disgusted The final time around 12:30am I couldn’t take using the restroom downstairs since there was a prom going on there was no one at the front desk to assist After all that I just went to sleep in my car

We have stayed at this hotel every year when my husband has had appointments or surgeries at Johns Hopkins hospital This was the first time that we have felt that the quality of the hotel had gone down significantly as had the quality of the staff The beds were extremely uncomfortable and although we had requested it at check in, we never received housekeeping even once so after 5 days we had piles of trash in the room

Our comforter if you could call it that consisted of the dust ruffle that normally goes on a bed to hide the frame (see picture) and this was what they used as a blanket with a very thin duvet on top of this We asked for blankets at the front desk on our first day but they were never brought to us so we did not sleep comfortably during our entire visit They said they were shortOn blankets but would do their best The staff at the front desk was not downright rude but not friendly and they appeared bothered when we needed to ask them simple questions Although the location is convenient, we are going to look for another hotel to stay at during our monthly visits to Baltimore this coming year If you valet your car don’t expect the valet text service that they use to be working and you will not discover it to be broken until you arrive to pick up your car and find the valet person chatting on a couch instead of getting your vehicle This may or may not be their fault but a faulty text system is what they claim Upon check out I requested a copy of my bill and was told that it would be emailed to me so apparently getting a paper copy at check out was not an option When I did receive the copy of the bill I had been charged twice for valet on a given day which then necessitated a phone call to the hotel in order to get the $3500 charge reversed This was done promptly which I appreciated This has always been our go to hotel and it was sad to see it being managed like this A comfortable stay is a minimum requirement

Great staff, great location, room left MUCH to be desired So to be fair—we booked same day and the thought crossed my mind that we may have ended up with one of the “good enough” rooms that don’t get assigned unless they have to be Check in was great—Yvonne was super welcoming and helpful—confirmed that we asked for 4 extra pillows (our kids are pillow fiends) and off we went

The pillows never showed up (don’t know whose shoulders that falls on) Had trouble getting to the room as either our key card or the card reader in the elevator was messed up—seemed to be a bit of both When we got to the room I got the distinct feeling that something was off For starters, there weren’t 4 towel sets, the hotel-provided body wash was missing, there was missing flatware (which we later found dirty in the dishwasher) and there was coffee and a cup missing It felt like the room hadn’t been turned over since the last guest had stayed…except the trash was empty and the beds appeared clean It was unsettling, I’ll admit My husband told me I was being paranoid but I’m fairly certain the room hadn’t received the attention it was supposed to We tried to call down to the front desk but the phone wasn’t working and every time we hit the front desk button on it the line would ring and ring and then hang up on us There was no binder or info about the hotel in the room with an actual number listed for the front desk so we couldn’t call down either Not sure if that was because of covid or was just missing Not a big deal but would have been nice to have at least the TV channels listed so that we could more easily avoid content that wasn’t appropriate for our children Overall the room was somewhat run down Chipped furniture, wallpaper peeling, slow draining sink, melted spots on the carpet, linoleum in the kitchen peeling up…The couch was honestly dismal—the cushions so squashed that when you sat on it you ended up sitting on the front lip of the structure (both uncomfortable and made legs fall asleep) The first night (of the 2 we stayed) I cut my foot on a line of exposed carpet tacks between the kitchen and living space My husband flattened them with a coin and his shoe I did bring this (and the sink) to the attention of the front desk (after having to go down in person) and they offered to send someone up and we declined as we had fixed the tacks and didn’t care to have anyone working in the room Oddly there was no dish soap (but there was dishwasher powder)—so we ended up washing dishes with hand soap Just FYI there was no corkscrew in the room—I suppose you could request one but we were too lazy to fight the elevator (literally—the card reader worked about 50% of the time by the 10th try—we rode up and down almost every time we used it multiple times trying to get to the floor we wanted) to go to the front since we couldn’t call downParking is valet for $35 with in and out privileges or self parking for $25/day with no in and out privileges The garage for self park is attached to the hotel and can be reached from insideThe pool is actually in the Maryland Athletic Club, which is in the building complex They have an agreement to use the gym and pool Both are nicely equipped overall from an equipment standpoint—-the pools were clean (have seen better days from a coating standpoint) It’s salt water based instead of chlorine, so not as harsh The kids are only allowed in the splash pool, which is heated to probably 85 degrees and max depth is 45 feet, minimum depth is 3 feet and it’s a stairway entry There is a lap pool that is much cooler water and a larger pool that has a sloped entry that adults and teens can use There is also a hot tub The locker rooms are well equipped with a sauna, showers (with soap and shampoo/conditioner) and a suit spinner You have to take your hotel key and photo ID with you to gain access and have to have shoes on until the locker room They provide pool towels You have to shower before getting in the pool (locker room or pool deck)

The staff was nice, our other hotel canceled on us last minute and we were able to get a room here, the room was nice but there was a weird red stain on the carpet outside the bathroom, everything was fine until it was time to leave and Valet lost our car keys We’re currently waiting for someone to drive 5 hours to bring us a spare key Awful experience

A very nice hotel for extended stays and short trips I was here for a couple weeks and the room was very spacious and well laid out Light switches took a minute to figure out and the bed side lights were a little brighter than expected

The staff was exceptionally friendly and welcoming and made it a point to greet me whenever our paths crossed The amenities included a well stocked breakfast every morning, featuring fresh scrambled eggs, bacon, sausage gravy, warm biscuits, hot and cold cereals, fresh fruit, juices, toast, and lots of coffee! The hotel also features an exercise center with treadmills, stationary bikes, an elliptical machine(I believe), and a free weight rack with some benches There was always cleaning and sanitizing supplies on hand as well This is a wonderful hotel offset right beside the 695 entrance and just off one of the main roads through Towson, so access to comings and goings are very simple I thoroughly recommend this Holiday Inn Express if you’re stopping or staying in the Towson/Northern Baltimore area

Kenyon Bajus

Clean and comfortable Didn’t bother using the WiFi, gym or pool Free breakfast had lots of options

Eggs could have been better Front desk staff was friendly and pleasant Booked adjoining rooms, but they weren’t available upon arrival Close to the city with free parking seemed like a better option than staying in the city and dealing with parking garages Overall fine stay

I never am one to complain because I am a very understanding human being and have worked in the service industry for years That being said, this was the worst hotel experience of our life My family booked this hotel because we always have great Hilton experiences

However, during our stay we checked in very late ( due to travel delays) When we opened the door to our room we could smell the smoke so badly it was making us sick and my kids slept with face masks on so they wouldn’t smell it The bathroom fixtures were falling off the walls Dirt piles built up in the corners of the bathroom and awful stains all over the carpets from the living room area to the bedroom All of the furniture was scratched and should have been thrown out 10 years ago The picture of the room I booked and paid for was absolutely not the room I got My family didn’t feel safe, however checking in so late we got 4 hours of sleep we could not get out fast enough When I went to complain about the experience the only thing the person said to me was “ well why didn’t you complain so we could change your room?” Because it was 1:30am and we had been traveling for 14 hours I have never been so upset and disgusted by a hotel before Please do your research before staying at this hotel I promise it’s not worth it There’s plenty of options in this area Don’t get scammed like we did

deborah Hildt

We have stayed here a few times ! It is close to shopping and restaurants Right off I 95 This time we brought our fur babies and only had to pay a one time fee for the whole stay

I would of given them a 5 however some of the staff wasn’t real friendly! Also the rooms we very clean and nice However the refrigerator froze everything in the fridge, there wasn’t any coffee cups had to ask for some We had a king bed I think they could of used some new fitted sheets They were off the corners Over all it is a nice place and not bad prices We will definitely go back when we are in town

mark Schilling

ALWAYS GREAT SERVICE & COMFORT

Every time we stay there they always go out of their way to make certain we are taken care ofI always see them busting their butts to keep the hotel right multi-tasking in all aspects Always !!!!I have witnessed their super friendliness and excellent work ethicsI own a company and I know how hard it is to find good employees – especially in these days I wish I had a team like these folksI Thank them all !!!!!!

Joe Amditis

The Hotel RL has very clean and tidy rooms They have incredibly nice and helpful hotel staff The location is also top notch

I will say that the amenities in the individual rooms leave something to be desired, however There are no dressers or drawers to put your things or clothing There was also no microwave or coffee station in the room either They did have a mini fridge but it was just sitting on the floor

Melissa Talamonti

The person checking us in was very hospitable and accommodating We got there extremely early before our room was ready and we were able to leave our luggage and walk around The room itself was fine for the amount we paid

However, we only got one towel per person The streets were very noisy every night and woke us up most of the time Although it’s in a great location downtown, I guess that’s the trade off

Tatum Standley

We stayed for a weekend The restaurant downstairs is recently and permanently closed Staff was sparse but generally helpful

The room was clean enough and technically wheelchair accessible (as was the lobby), tho the elevators were quite tight The room we stayed in had no grab bars of any kind in the bathroom Unfortunately even from the 7th floor with windows facing a fairly quiet street, we heard every laugh, scream, siren, car door, etc all night long which wasn’t exactly restful Nothing terrible, nothing special

We came to Baltimore to visit some friends and stayed here We checked in and had some issues

gum on the floor (that was missed in cleaning), our room was only cleaned 1 out of the 4 nights we were there, we had to continuously ask for towels, and the breakfast was not worth the amount per night The positives are that the desk staff was very quick to answer our questions and address our concerns The biggest plus of this hotel is LOCATIONlocationLOCATION!!!! You are less than 10 mins from major shopping (Target,Mall etc) and eateries Easily accessible to highway and AVOIDING TOLLS!!!

Daniel Nealy

It was a hotel room Breakfast was lacking quite a bit My girlfriend and I went to breakfast the first morning, one hour before breakfast was to end and there was one carton of milk and nothing better than sandwiches and soggy/bagged waffles

The pool looked ready to use, but there was a chain holding the gate shut The ATM and one of the elevators were both out of order

Rick Burckhardt

Not perfect but we will come back We stayed 2 nights, but housekeeping did not clean our room after the first night Other hotels we have stayed at ask if you want housekeeping but they didn’t so we assumed it was going to happen

Check in was at 3 and check out was 12 noonEveryone at the front desk was very friendly and accommodating Sitting outside on our little patio may very well have been the best part of the weekend It was quiet and peaceful, and we talked for hoursThe location is close enough to everything but far enough away to not be the most expensive place in town Dunkin Donuts is a 3 minute walk Plenty of hot water, water pressure was great The room was clean when we arrived Definitely a great place to stay, just make sure to ask about housekeeping if you stay more thank 1 night

Aaron Poland

The front-desk staff was super friendly (some of the best I’ve ever encountered) and the facility was very clean Our major issue was how the hotel felt like it was in disrepair Throughout our stay, we encountered many broken or disfunctional items

One of the parking lot doors (conveniently the one closest to our room) was “Out of Order”, the guest laundry was “Out of Order”, the pool was closed “due to maintenance”, our room’s toilet would not flush properly (had to hold the handle down until the cycle was completed), the toilet paper holder was barely attached to the wall, and our air conditioner unit failed to keep the room cool on the hot summer days

The staff was so welcoming! I felt like I was wanted & appreciated! This started from the valet, front desk, cleaning professionals, chef Robinson and the immaculately cleaned and prepped suite! There were cleaning wipes at my disposal The entire hotel was clean, bright and fresh smelling! The bed was amazing ( THE BEST) The bathroom was spotless ( with no lingering hairs in sight)

It was really quiet! I cannot wait to visit again! What a great experience!!! The best hotel experience I’ve had in the city of Baltimore! This is my new spot!!!

Welt Reisender

Residence Inn exceeded all my expectations and I would definitely stay here again!!Both of my rooms (studio & one bedroom) were so spacious and the hotel itself was very clean The reason I took off a star is in my bathroom I found items left in one of the rooms by a previous guest Plus the shower in the other room did not look clean at all

I informed the front desk and someone came up and took care of the situation Otherwise the hotel was great

Joi Mackall

The lobby is beautiful and security is helpful when you are lost like me Warning if you plan a night’s stay I hope noise doesn’t bother you The parties are amazing I will book a stay here just to have a good time

15 to get into the roof top deck on the night I went The food was very tasty but pricey I got 2 crab cake sliders for $14

Beautiful clean and modern rooms with high quality furniture and super comfy bed The front desk staff, and manager especially, bent over backwards to work with us on a complicated reservation so that we could get to our rooms and get some sleep after a long day of driving Haven’t been down for breakfast yet but the lobby and breakfast area look great

Very convenient to the highway, would stay here again in a heartbeat

Daniel Anderson

This hotel is in a great location but, slightly off the beaten path and is one of the newer hotels in this area The rooms are clean, comfortable, and quiet I have stayed here many times and am never disappointed

They do have a breakfast buffet in the AM, a nice 24-7 gym, and a pool There are several restaurants within just a couple of miles, close to White Marsh Mall area

Albert Skwarlo

Rooms are nice and clean, I have stayed here a bunch of times now for work My repeating and only issue is the incredibly loud air conditioning units in the room If you are a lite sleeper be sure to bring ear plugs

Anyone with an EV should note a SemaConnect charger is available at the shopping complex across the road it was 50/hr at the time of this post

Rooms were clean, service was good Bathroom was missing a refill on Body wash, shampoo and conditioner 9th floor hallway had a bad bathroom smell during my stay compared to the other floors, which smelt great

Also the House Keeping Supervisor needs to do a better job inspecting rooms I would have never missed that Also pay attention to how the sheets are hanging and how the beds are made Restaurant guys on second floor was friendly, no ladies working were seen at the time on Saturday night Overall it was okay

Tammy K

Unfortunately there was nothing positive about this hotel, it is definitely not up to Marriott standards, it either needs a major overhaul or Marriott should drop them from their franchise Everything is dated, faded, stained, worn, damaged or broken in this hotel The elevators are questionable, the doors are reluctant to open and close

The hallway carpet was badly stained and worn Trash was constantly littering the hallways when housekeeping was visibly on the floor Housekeeping was observed multiple times loudly complaining about having to clean rooms and it was clear that they had looked through our luggage because the bags were moved and unzipped when we had zipped and stacked them before leaving the room The room was 82 degrees when we checked in There were dirty towels left in the bathroom The carpet in the room was stained and so disgusting that we wouldn’t walk on in without shoes on The door to the adjoining room had a broken handle The TV had no sound There was no mattress protector on the bed, just a flat sheet tucked around it Most of the USB ports in the room were broken The chair was stained with what appeared to be white paint Every piece of furniture was damaged and scratched The faucet in the bathroom had a constant small stream of water coming out of it The bathtub backed up and didn’t drain properly when our neighbor was showering at the same time so we had to rush through showering The ceiling had clearly been spot painted in certain areas, perhaps to cover up water damage or something but the areas that were painted over were clearly visible The price you pay for what you get at this hotel is ridiculous Save your money and stay at the Hilton next door

Where to start? If you want a nice hotel in Baltimore with nice staff, good location, and a beautiful building, this is for you I read some reviews about cleanliness and safety, but this place is FINE The staff were so friendly and helpful! The room was just fine – really comfortable with a coffee machine and fridge

I guess the bathroom was a bit outdated, and the shower was a bit tricky, but for the price of this place, I didn’t care It is true, this is not the best neighbourhood in the world, but I wasn’t worried about safety We wanted to eat crab cakes, and the lady at the desk recommended Mo’s Seafood – it was exactly what we wanted, and Mo’s picked us up in a van! We were looking for a quick lunch, and we sent to a really nice sandwich shop called Jake’s that was just a block away Really delicious If I go to Baltimore again, I’ll stay here again!

Cris Young

While the history of the building and the architecture is amazing, the rooms and service were just so so The floor is very uneven, I tripped several times There are places were the paint and plaster are peeling from the walls

In the room, the shower had tons of cracks just coated with caulk The windows in the 5th floor room opened, with no screen or safety measures to keep anything or anyone from falling out The bed was clean, on the firmer side, pillows look fluffy but went completely flat the moment you touch them They have a folded piece of paper with instructions on how to work the thermostat One of the bed side lamps and power station did not work, so we had to find another wall port for our phone Can not say anything of the breakfast since we left before it was servedWe did have a pet, and there was a rather large pet deposit for a tiny tiny kitty You also have to pay for the parking, which is behind the building If you are using a GPS, put in the location as the hotel next door in order to keep from passing the tiny parking lot I also recommend backing in, since it is extremely hard to back out of the spaces when the lot is full They do have charging spots for electric cars, but if someone is in a U-Haul, they will be blockedIt has a decent view, and the tops of the city buildings are beautiful, looking down you see some not so pretty sights depending on what part of the building you are onThe elevators are on the slower side, but do work There are open steps that lead from the lobby down to the small gym There is a room before the gym that has a vault door there, and is neat to be able to look at The night clerk seemed a bit snobbish They do request that masks be worn when not in your room, however the night clerk did not have one on

Michael Carrelli

This is the cheapest or should I say the most economical hotel within walking distance to the inner harbor and Camden Yards Guys if your attempting to impress a woman,not here move on If you have been married 20+ years or single bringing the kids to the ball game with a little inner harbor action this is the place

it’s cheap so you can spend your money on better seats at the game Hit or miss if the air works and if your staying for that four game series you have too contact room service each day if you want your room done up, good luck the answer machine is full The staff are excellent and the night security guy is looking out for you Free breakfast I’ve had worse the coffee is hot At least your team will win against the O’s Good luck

Upon entering the hotel, I was greeted by a very sweet and friendly lady named Stacy She was very accommodating throughout my stay I knew from that initial meeting that my stay would be a great one

The hotel was clean and it was a newer building that made staying there pleasant The staff couldn’t have been more accommodating for our week long stay The breakfast was plenty and a nice variety and I enjoyed having hot coffee available morning, noon, and night Our accommodations were comfortable especially the bed which allowed me a wonderful nights sleep There were ample bathroom supplies The cleanliness of the room was top notch! We were there because a family member was having surgery so we were just 5 minutes from Johns Hopkins Hospital but we were within walking distance from the Inner Harbor where we enjoyed several wonderful dinners If I return to this area, I would definitely reserve back at this hotel

I had an amazing stay here! Check-in was quick and easy The room itself was extremely clean (even the lamps and wall sconces didn’t have dust on them) The rooms were modern looking for a 2-star hotel and for the pricing

There is a parking garage across the street that is $10 for your entire stay if you ask the receptionist in the hotel Conveniently located in downtown Baltimore I would certainly come here again!

Karla

This was an odd stay The mattress and pillows were flat, our bathroom was out of condiments (hand wash, lotion, etc) and the on-site store is wildly expensive

The room was cool, just enough space for a short stay Great shower, gym on site, fridge in every room The staff was friendly but we didn’t interact much I’ve stayed at other Tru locations and had a better experience so I was surprised with my stay here

Every single person we interacted with (bellhop, valets, servers, bartenders, concierge, housekeeping) was professional, enthusiastic, and helpful By far the best experience I have ever had with hotel staff-I feel like every person truly went above and beyond to make sure our stay was perfectThe building itself is beautiful-full of marble and ornate columns

I appreciate that a lot of attention was paid to historical details and maintaining the feel of the original buildingOur room was nicely decorated and very quiet We didn’t hear anyone in the halls and we barely heard any street noise The hotel gym was a lot bigger than I expected and well stocked with machines and equipmentWe will absolutely stay again next time we are in Baltimore!

Loved my stay here! Everyone was so kind and friendly Of course the hotel is amazing but the breakfast was the cherry on top ! I ordered the veggie eggs; and they were loaded with veggies! The sweet potato hash (words cannot describe) reminds me of my great granny’s cooking 🥲 fair price/ great portionsOnly thing upsetting: I woke up 3 am dehydrated and went to the mini bar to find lack of choices and drinks weren’t cold

(It was too cold to run out)

We discovered a bed bug problem in our luxury suite (one of the spa rooms) which we got refunded for, but it obviously ruined the stay Especially because they were fully booked that night and had no contingency plan for relocating us My partner and I stayed here one time before that and both times the hotel service was not great

No fault to them, they were super kind and did whatever they could for our check ins and the bed bug issue The problem was that we waited in long lines for a single person behind the desk who was also answering phones for the entire hotel They just seem chronically understaffed and scrambling to do things for everyone in a timely manner It gives me such mixed feelings because the rooms are awesome and those jetted tubs are amazing (they’re honestly the top reason we came back, along with the large windows that make the room feel even bigger than it already is) It’s such a cool and well-preserved historic building I’d just be cautious of these issues when deciding whether it would be worth the cost of your stay Oh and if you do stay there, make sure you check under the mattress for bed bugs!

Check in took an actual one hour and twenty minutes The ceiling was profusely leaking into garbage cans all weekend The staff had over charged me by ninety dollars and didn’t even apologize or question it

Check your bills! My room had fecal matter in the toilet Blood! Hair! This was a crime scene, not hospitality The room had insects inside flying around and crawling about The bedding was soiled and when I called for a new set, nothing was done What we have here is a completely unethical situation The staff refused to do anything to resolve any issues during our stay Honestly, it was the worst stay of my life This place should be condemned The GM is a joke and the staff I met were useless I’ve never been tested like this by any establishment before Avoid this establishment! A very shady operation here I’ve actually had nightmares since my stay The worst hotel of my life Never ever again will I give Wyndham an opportunity to disgust and disappointment me and my family ever again

Rich Givone

2 stars for this place Three things were good: price was right, location is perfect (safely walkable to Inner Harbor & Camden Yards), and the room was clean But…

three big negativesFirst: they screwed up my reservation; I had another adult sharing the room with me & specifically needed 2 beds for that reason When I arrived I was told they only had 1-bed rooms available And it was “take it or leave it” so two of us had to share a bed (Awkward!)Second, the “breakfast buffet” was wayyy more limited than other locations, but beyond that: it was gross, and likely unsanitaryThird, The garage attached to the hotel is not operated by the hotel And the garage was having problems with their ticket reading machines, and in fact machines gobbled up multiple guests’ tickets and credit cards, mine included So I had to cancel my card and order a new one – yet another significant inconvenienceI would suggest people avoid this place until the owner/operator addresses these issues

Nicole Stratton

DO NOT STAY HEREI want to start off saying this- the staff was incredibly sweet and helpful and also that we are from the suburbs of StLouis so we can handle some shady stuff but this place wins for being totally disgusting beyond all measureThe hotel room I kid you not had blood literally everywhere, the bathroom floor, on the AC- just like everywhere – there was little black curly hair everywhere- everything was dusty and gross I have never seen anything so disgusting in my life

A mask hanging off the chair, food under the bed just very gross Parking is $34 a day which is normal for big city hotels so I’m not holding that against them and the hotel itself had alot of safety features which was nice but honestly it was just a gross I would really recommend not staying here

Check in at the hotel was a bit of a mess Room wasn’t ready until 1hr after the 4:30 check in time and they did not give any advance notice The staff seemed very overwhelmed by the amount of guests that day

The bar was closed, so there wasn’t much to do while waiting for the room besides sit in the lobbyThe room itself was good Comfy beds and everything was clean Fair for the price, but nothing too special Felt a little small for our party of 3, but good if you aren’t planning on being in the room too muchTrying to get our car at checkout was tough The valet attendant said it would take about an hour to get our car if we waited He instead gave us the address of where the cars are kept so I could pick it up myself, just a 5 minute walk away Considering the late check in + having to get my own car, I would have expected they offer a discount on the $33 valet parking they chargedIf this is the only hotel with availability, staying here is fine, but there are definitely better hotels in the area

Joseph Jones

Right now they are in the middle of some renovations All amenities are not available The bar was closed, also the gym

There is a bistro that serves food and drinks Shower heads leaked water, but good pressure If you like historic hotels you will like the Lord Baltimore It was quiet inside the rooms except for the occasional emergency vehicle siren The road in front of the building is being repaired, lots of steel plates The housekeeping staff was great and rooms were clean as expected Would like to stay there again once everything is completed

Shantelle Ozzy

I think this hotel has potential Nice lobby, except for the fact that the bar isn’t available, the cafe closes at 9pm, and the gym is closed downMy evening was turned off by the valet attendant

When I pulled up the girl just sat at the desk starring at me and wasn’t interested in seeing what I needed I came out the car and said, “do you do valet?” She said yes with an attitude and said if I haven’t checked in, to go park somewhere else I was so irritated that I went looking for parking elsewhere The location of the hotel doesn’t have convenient parking, so I went back to the valet The website says self parking and valet parking for one price, but when you get there, the valet is a higher price and there is no self parking available I called the front desk and the staff was nice after I told them that they should honor what their website saysAfter I finally checked in and went to my room, there were towels in my toilet The front desk fixed it and brought new towels, but it was just weird The outlet for the coffee and microwave was faulty and there were no cups I had to hold the cord in place for both to workI will say that the staff (outside of the valet) were accommodating I don’t like the location of this hotel or the parking situation, but they are making more renovations, so maybe next year it will be better I think the hotel should update their website to what they actually have available, so that people aren’t surprised upon arrival

Wandered in here looking for a place to eat and have a few drinks Great atmosphere, attentive staff, and amazing food My wife had the fried chicken sliders and cheese popovers which were awesome

I had the baby gem wedge to try something different I don’t usually enjoy blue cheese dressing but this was top notch!Really good food, decent drink selections, and excellent cocktails Would definitely recommend

Terrell Singleton

This place is on a stretch of great brunch places but did not have a bottomless mimosa option and though pricey the crab cake sandwich was good I bought a round of drinks to keep the peace about the pricing vs the generous gratuity already on the checkOur waitress was not as attentive as many of the places in the strip

It was mostly noticeable because we didn’t have bottomless mimosas to occupy us but had to keep re-ordering drinks one at a time a wait for the bartender to make the roundSomeone heard us talking and told us that dinner pricing vs portion is more reasonable…I guess come after 3 n u won’t leave hungry

Tracy Belaski

I’ve always enjoyed Waterfront, but I’m not convinced that the new ownership under Atlas is for the better The entire menu has been overhauled- gone are the days of solid, reasonably priced bar food and drinks The menu is also significantly limited

We ordered the spinach dip, which came with a measly serving of bread and a small bowl of potato chips – the potato chips seemed like an odd choice I also ordered the crab cake, which could have been good if it hadn’t been burnt to oblivion This cake was not a little over toasted – it was clearly burnt and should not have left the kitchen, especially considering it wasn’t a cheap entree in the first place Crab meat is expensive and they ruined it Under other circumstances I would have sent it back, but the service was slow for our entire visit and I was too hungry to wait around for new food I had to ask for a glass of water on 3 separate occasions before I finally got one There were 2 bartenders on duty: one who was experienced but was too busy gossiping with another employee most of the night, and one who clearly had no idea what he was doing and had very little experience dealing with a busy and fast paced environment I don’t think I’ll be coming back except for the few occasions that my friend’s band plays there, and I’ll definitely be dining somewhere else beforehand
