“Very nice - not spectacular”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed February 10, 2013

This hotel is a very retro contemporary building and the finishings are as well. although a little pricey, not too bad considering that this hotel is situated perfectly for access to the National Aquarium, good restaurants, little Italy, and fun clubs. The hotel staff were very accommodating and knowledgeable. Everything was very clean and tidy. The only downside in my opinion, is the fact that this hotel is classified as an upscale hotel but frankly, the Decor and room provisions don't feel overly luxurious. Overall, a very nice place....just not spectacular.

Room Tip: If You decide to pay extra for a Harbor view, you may want to see the room fist. The rooms t facing...

“Great hotel”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 29, 2013 via mobile

Had our wedding there a few weeks ago. Loved the hotel rooms, the banquet facilities, and the staff. Booking the event was easy, and the staff was very prompt and professional in making the planning stress free.
We felt like everything was very well priced, and completely worth the costs. We felt the layout of the property is perfect for hosting such an event.
It's a beautiful hotel, with a great location. The views of the harbor made for some great pictures. If your staying for a night or looking to book an event, I highly recommend this hotel.

“We Loved This Place!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 3, 2013

We wanted to do something different for our anniversary this year (Dec.26). We are local to the Baltimore area but, decided to stay downtown. We didn't know anything about this hotel...so it was a gamble. Wow! We made the right choice! We had encountered a parking problem on the way in and the staff immediately solved the problem. Long and short of the story...we felt like royalty...we received a room upgrade...local coupons...free wine and beer during happy hour (Crabby Crepes) and the list goes on!!! The room was spectacular with a near panoramic view of the harbor. The staff was awesome...especially Empress!!! She may very well have been the nicest and most accomodating person we have ever met...seriously!

Room Tip: Second Floor has balconies.

“Amazing hotel”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 2, 2013

I never typically write reviews for anything, but this hotel was so exceptional that I feel it deserves some credit. I initially saw this hotel for a groupon and since I had never been to Baltimore, I figured I would give it a try. I read through the reviews, which were mainly positive, but still had some concerns.
First off, the location of this hotel could not be any better. It is within walking distance to so many shops, restaurants and the national aquarium. If anything were too far for walking, they provide a shuttle that can bring you there for free.
The staff members at this hotel were beyond friendly and so helpful when it came to asking about activities, restaurants, amentities, ect. Crabby hour in the hotel lobby was a nice addition to the trip that included making an appetizer, as well as drinking free beer and wine.
The rooms were clean and bed was comfortable-no complaints.
This hotel made the trip to Baltimore a perfect one and I would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone visiting the Baltimore area!

Beth R, we'd like to thank you for leaving us a spectacular review and we'd also like to thank you for choosing to stay with us during your time in Baltimore. The fact that you enjoyed your experience so much that it compelled you to leave us a review makes us ecstatic.

You couldn't be more correct about our location. With the aquarium a short walk away and the rest of Inner Harbor in such close proximity, our guests have plenty of entertainment and dining options. In the chance that our guests want to venture somewhere a bit father away, we have our great shuttle service that you also mentioned.

From reading over your review we see you mentioned our amazing staff. We're very fortunate to have the opportunity to work with such wonderful people. Our team strives to ensure that everything is always perfect for our guests. We'll make sure to pass along the kind comments you made to them. We're certain it will make them very happy to hear.
