I booked this hotel very last minute for the JHU graduation. I used their special JHU discount and it was a lot less expensive than the Sheraton. I booked a suite, but I didn't expect much because of the price. I didn't expect it to have that old world charm. Our suite (721) was huge. It had high ceiling, 2... More

I stayed here during a conference, and found the location to be convenient to both the convention center and the inner harbor - a few blocks from each. The hotel building is beautiful, the afternoon wine reception is very nice, and the rooms are well appointed - I was very comfortable in my room. However, the fire alarms went off... More

I've stayed here on multiple occasions and always on business. On every occasion the front desk staff have been incredibly friendly, helpful, courteous and welcoming. The rooms are large, bathrooms clean and generally removed from most street noise. Dining at the hotel restaurant is easy, perhaps a bit over-priced, but the food and service are generally good. Finding a bite... More

We LOVED our stay at this hotel and would certainly pick it should we again visit Baltimore. Valet parking attendants are quick on their toes; Simon at the Front Desk was such a gentleman; and Cornelius of Room Service ever so polite. Our rooms were so clean and lovely furnished, and bathrooms so nice and roomy. The beds and pillows... More

Stayed here for a one night romantic getaway and it was amazing. Awesome decor, clean and large room, and fantastic two person bath. Fun minibar and great bar in the restaurant downstairs. Definitely book a king premier with the large tub!

I searched A LOT of hotels in Baltimore before deciding on the Monaco. I wanted somewhere that was downtown and walking distance to attractions and restaurants. The National Aquarium was a short walk as were many restaurants by the water for a nice outside lunch or afternoon drinks. The room was clean, linens obviously fresh, and the bed was huge,... More

Spent one night and have very few criticisms. Knew to check in on the lobby level up one floor due to other tripadvisor reviews! Our very large room held two fabulously comfortable beds, beautifully furnished. Only complaint would be the sliding door to the bathroom, which offered less than ideal privacy as I was traveling with a friend and not... More

Rooms are a nice size. However, furnishings are tired. For example, one of two shades was missing (not great for those who want to sleep in!) and the mattress sags terribly. But the worst aspect has to be the service. Doormen/bellhop couldn't be bothered to assist with luggage, and the front desk staff is more interested in their personal conversations... More
