“Quirky, fun property but needs some maintenance”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed November 14, 2012

This is a quirky and fun property that is rumored to be haunted. My first room was a king with little charm, stained carpet, and problems with the air. I was moved to a much cuter room a few doors down with a charming four post bed, clean carpets, and no maintenance issues. A friend's room was in a king with a great view of the water and a lot more charm than my first room, so if I stayed there again, I would probably ask more questions about the room because each one seems to be unique.

There are stairs that you have to go up and down to get to rooms on the same floor, so it can be a bit challenging to manage if you have heavy luggage or more than one piece of luggage. The staff at the front desk will offer to help, though, and they were very friendly and accommodating. There is a complimentary shuttle that can be used to take you to nearby locations, which was a nice plus when it rained.

“A faux 18th century relic in almost 21st century condition.”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed November 6, 2012

I had not been to Baltimore, other than to pass through, in a while, and this hotel was a nice reminder of the unique character and history of this great American city going back to the time of Admiral Fell himself ca.18th century. The hotel presents as if it could have been in business during that time and maintains that ambience in a way that's understated and a bit artificial, but pleasant. As a modern hotel, it's perhaps stuck back in the 1990s in terms of condition and some small points. But if you compare its rates (179.00 for us) to those of more modern alternatives close by (Marriott 300.00 plus) it's a good value. The immediate neighborhood is great, historic, waterfront, active, lots of food and drink, but can be noisy through the windows as others have noted. Our problem at the back of the hotel overlooking backyards was a Mexican band that couldn't be seen late into Saturday evening. Parking is easy and safe in a PMI garage right down the street, but was 20.00 overnight on the weekend, probably more other times. TVs are HD without HD channels, curious. Wifi is free in the rooms and usable, but I wasn't able to get a good fix on its strength. Good people work here, and it's recommended.

VaBookwriter, we'd like to thank you for writing us a great review and we'd also like to thank you for choosing to stay with us during your time in Baltimore. We're glad to hear that you enjoyed your stay at our hotel.

Our hotel certainly has some very rich history behind it. Did you know that it consists of seven different buildings dating back to the 1770's? They have previously served as a ship chandlery, a theater, a boarding house for sailors and later, a Seaman's YMCA. If you ever come back to stay with us again we'd recommend taking the ghost tour of the hotel, it's a lot of fun, and interesting too!

We'd like to thank you for sharing with us and the TripAdvisor community on your stay. It truly means a lot to us when guests take the time out of their day to leave us nice review. We hope you realize how much we appreciate this.

“You will pay top dollar for an average hotel.”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed October 29, 2012

being located in the heart of Fells Point Baltimore is the best thing the hotel has going for it. The rooms are clean and the beds comfortable, but the hotel could use some repair and the repairs that have been done seem cobbled together. They will give you a gift certificate for the hotel restaurant, it's a total rip off because the food is way overpriced. They also charged the total cost of the room to the credit card the night before we checked out. That was odd, normally you don't pay until checkout. That was very tacky. Anyway, I found this hotel to be over priced...also if your room is on the front of the hotel you will be kept up late at night with the noise of the party goers coming out of three nearby bars.

“Great location, mediocre bed”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed October 27, 2012

Walk outside hotel door and you're at the heart of Fell's Point, but the bed was mediocre, and the 2nd floor was close enough to bars across street that we heard the band and the crowd until after 2 am.
