Stayed here while moving my son into Johns Hopkins. The hotel is not convenient to the campus (it's about a 15 minute drive). But I'm staying here again when I return for Parents Day in November beccause it was so beautiful and comfortable. .Best thing is the location -- it's right on the water, on a harbor, near good stores, good restaurants and what seems to be a terrific local music scene. I love to walk and I enjoyed exploring this neighborood on foot and walking along the water. There were plenty of other people walking at all hours. The room was very large (I had room 109 -- a corner room) and the bed was comfy. Enough lamps for reading. Bathroom was very large and very clean with plenty of towels and excellent hot water and excellent water pressure. Staff were very warm and friendly although some were more knowledgeable than othrs. Coffee always available in the lobby, and a computer in an alcove off the lobby for internet access. Parking is nearby and convenient, although half the time the gate wouldn't open for me and I had to seek help. All of the rooms are on the first floor so you need to close the blinds if you want privacy! Otherwise the many people strolling by can look right into your room. Taking an evening stroll, I was easily able to see one woman sitting in bed reading in her pajamas, and a couple who were snuggling. But if you shut the blinds, you lose the wonderful harbor views. There is a free breakfast buffet in the lobby which is incredible. I've never seen anything like it. An extraordinary amount of fresh fruit -- raspberries, strawbetrries, grapes, bananas, melon, pineapple -- plus pastries, bagels, cereal, bagels, yoghurt and cheese. And coffee. All constantly replenished. You can take a tray and bring what you want back to your room or you can sit at a table in a lovely courtyard. My only real gripe is that the fridge in my room was incredibly noisy and kept waking me up. (It turns out there was an "off" switch that I could have used.) . The air conditioner was also very noisy but I turned it off. Also, I asked for an early morning wake up call and was told it was taken care of but the phone never rang. But the room was so nice and the location so incredibly pleasant and the breakfast so outstanding that it is well worth staying here if you are in the area.

  • Liked — great location on the water, amazing breakfast buffet
  • Disliked — I wish it were closer to Johns Hopkins.

Even though the impetus for our trip to Baltimore was the Linda Ronstadt concert at Pier Six Pavilion, we were glad that we followed the recommendation of Tripadvisor reviewers and stayed here rather than choosing someplace in the Inner Harbor. The distance from Fells Point was a bit of a hike but walkable and, of course, the nearby water taxi (at $8/day such an inexpensive way to enjoy the harbor) was very helpful in getting around on our second day devoted to seeing the sights. Bar-hopping's not our style, but we didn't find Fell's Point at all rowdy and certainly appreciated Kali's Court (on Thames), a gelato spot in the neighborhood, and a trio of champion terriers we met strolling by the water each afternoon.

The Inn itself met or surpassed every expectation of comfort and style we'd formed from Tripadvisor reviews. We were pleased with our wharf view and not at all bothered by some light foot traffic. One shortcoming is that no benches were available outdoors, so that we could sit and gaze at the boats on the harbor. Next time we come we'll bring along some portable seating in the trunk of our car.

Stayed one night in August. We found the hotel as described by other positive reviews. The room was very good. Compimentary bottle of wine was a nice touch. We took the advice of others and fot a garden view room, overlooking a nice courtyard that gave privacy and a pleasant view from our first floor room. Not a lot of foot traffic directly around the hotel, as it sits in a quiet residential area at the end of the wharf, so a harbor view room would probably be OK if that is what is available. The continental breakfast was good with a nice selection. I was particularly impressed by the staff. Everyone was helpful throughout. We happened to leave and item behind and when we called they confirmed it was recovered from our room and immediately mailed it back to us at home. Great service. I recommend this as the best place to stay if you are staying in the Inner Harbor or Fells Point area.

We recently returned from a one night stay at the Henderson Wharf Inn and really enjoyed our experience. We had stayed a month before at the Hyatt in the Inner Harbor, and found that hotel servicable but the area crowded with little charm. The Henderson changed our minds about hotels in Baltimore and the city in general. The staff was friendly and knowledgable, the rooms were lovely, the breakfast was great - overall the experience had the personal service you expect at a 5 star hotel with the feeling of a small inn. The area around Fell's Point was also much more interesting than the inner harbor, and you can easily take the water taxi to all the inner harbor sightseeing attractions. The hotel also includes free parking. They let us keep our car in their secure lot for 5 hours after we had checked out, which was incredibly helpful. This must be "the cool" place to stay because we noticed a band on tour unloading their bags when we were leaving. We will defintiely stay here again next time we are in Baltimore.

I think i had the best room in the house....or....is every room the best room in the house?? Honestly, I had the corner room, windows from all directions overlooking the harbor. Had my complimentary bottle of wine...and some wonderful seafood delivered to the hotel...this was just what I needed for a weekend away from work..kids...significant other! Quaint, intimate, luxurious (but not in a snobby, stuffy kinda way) his hotel is definately a DO! Stay here, by yourself or with someone special, you'll love it!

: )

  • Liked — comfortable room, great view...well...everything
