“Crazy innkeeper.”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed March 16, 2013 via mobile

I caught her late at night taking a poop in her piano. Legitimately certifiably crazy. Should be institutionalize, and jailed for serving expired food. The stairs near her room reek of urine. This is the one star review to which I compare all other experiences, as in ,"well this place isn't as bad as Janice Orr's Phoenix Risin, so I... More

“Wonderful repeat stay”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 27, 2013

I have stayed at Phoenix Risin three times in the past 18 months. I find it exactly what a Bed and Breakfast is designed to be. The Inn Keeper is very pleasant, delightful, and always greets me with a smile and a glass of wine. The room was very neat, and clean, with fine linen. I always experienced breakfast as... More

“Use caution, as this establishment does not provide refunds.”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed September 4, 2012

Beware. The Phoenix has not risen, and I suspect it died a long time ago. This is not a bed and breakfast. This is someone's home, masquerading as a place of business. The experience was akin to sleeping in a random stranger's house for lots of money. Clearly, rooms are rented to subsidize income, but this is not an establishment... More

“A Very Long Wait”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed August 21, 2011

The room was not ready when we arrived, and the entire building was uncomfortably warm our entire stay. The 9am breakfast that we agreed to was still not served by 11am, putting a huge dent in our plans to explore downtown Baltimore. I would suggest staying here only if you have ALOT of time to spare waiting, and it's definitely... More

Altho we are near perfect in service to our guests, there are times when nothing seems to go right. I'm certain that there is not a business or person who has not experienced a day like that. And when guests arrive hours before our normal check-in time, it is very possible that the rooms would not be ready. We have... More

“A wonderful stay”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed May 5, 2010

Though we only were there for one night, my boyfriend and I had a lovely stay at Phoenix Risin'. The inn is located in a beautiful neighborhood of Baltimore, convenient to many attractions and historical homes. Janice, the innkeeper, is warm and welcoming, and truly one of the best parts of our visit was having a chance to get to... More

“Four Thumbs Up”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed October 6, 2009

I see most of the other reviews for this Bed and Breakfast are similar to ours. We enjoyed it very much, and happily recommend it. Those who didn’t enjoy it don’t seem to “get it.” A Bed and Breakfast is NOT a luxury hotel. They typically don’t have valet parking, room service or bell boys. If you want all of... More

“The Phoenix May be "Risin" but the owner wasn't”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed September 16, 2009

This was the worst B&B we ever stayed at. Our first morning, we requested Breakfast at 8. We came down at 8, there was no sign of the owner or breakfast. We finally knocked on her private door, and she was still asleep. The next morning, she did actually get up on time to cook us a very unimaginative and... More

First, we are open all year. Valentine's Day 2009 marked our 9th year in business. In that time we've received six (6) complaints, including this one. If we provided the type of service alleged, we would have been out of business years ago. We have repeat customers and many guests are referred by previous guests. The writer requested a refund,...

“Phoenix Risin' B&B - just walk away”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed August 5, 2008

Dirty, dank, disappointing. These three words sum up my impression of Phoenix Risin' Bed and Breakfast in Baltimore, MD, June 2008. Although my partner---here from Australia for the summer----and I had high hopes of a relaxing in an historic American neighborhood, we found the accommodations so deplorable that we decided to leave and stay somewhere else in the city.

Sorry for the delay in responding, but we've been VERY BUSY. We were told by the various reservation services that we use to expect this type of review if we decided not to refund a guest's deposit. However, as a matter of principal we decided not to refund the reviewer's deposit.. We only wish that the reviewer posted a review... More
