My wife (E) and I checked into the historic Admiral Fell Inn about 4:00 PM on Saturday, August 26, 2006. We had booked a “True Romance Package” weekend at the Inn to celebrate our twentieth anniversary.

Additionally, we wanted to explore the beautiful and historically-rich Fells Point area around Baltimore Harbor.

PROBLEM: We had reserved a “Double Double” room (two double beds) and we were assigned to a “Single” room. A quick visit to the front desk, and the staff corrected the problem . . . although we had to wait over an hour for them to get the “new” room prepared.

The check-in was followed by a flurry of activity:

1. A traditional English tea party, hosted by governess ghost, Miss April Flemming.
2. Cocktails in the Admiral’s Lounge.
3. A one-hour “Ghost Tour” of the hotel and surroundings (guided tour of the hotel, grounds, and reportedly “haunted” areas of the property).
4. Wine(s) in the Admiral’s Lounge.
5. And, finally, dinner at the true (yes, with a small "t") Restaurant.

E and I were a bit flustered upon our arrival at the Inn. The activities were wonderful, but somewhat over-whelming.

We were a little late for our 6:30 PM reservations at true, but were pleasantly greeted and seated immediately.

The $25.00 romantic “Harbor Magic Flowers turndown” was a nice touch . . . a huge heart-shaped design on the bed, made with real, fresh rose petals, along with a sprinkling of rose petals around the bed. That, along with the fresh roses, champagne and Godiva chocolates added to my lovely wife’s romantic mood.

Two nights, dinner at the true Restaurant (normal price of the meal would have been $110.00), two super breakfasts, valet parking (for two days), etc. . . . all for $478.00 (plus tax) . . . try to match THAT in any other large city!

Would we go back? You know it!

I stayed at this hotel 2 nights while visiting Johns Hopkins. Room very large and beautiful - I had 2 canopied beds. Room appeared very clean - until I stepped on glass in carpet. Found 3 different colors of shards! Very quiet. Hotel is a string of old buildings so no hallway more than 3 rooms long before hall turned or went up or down a few stairs. This dramatically cut down on hall noise. Concierge service very poor. Was told I couldn't eat in downstairs restaurant or get room service because it was "Restaurant Week". I asked her to help me find a place to eat dinner and she waved toward front door and told me to "Go out there!". Area has lots of pubs etc - not what I was looking for after a difficult day during a long trip alone. Went downstairs to restaurant anyway and they happily served me - said they always reserve tables for hotel guests. Restaurant was excellent. Morning breakfast was simply outstanding. Would stay there again but would wear slippers and not use their concierge.

  • Liked — Very pretty rooms.. Comfortable. Quiet
  • Disliked — Cleanliness is surface. They don't vacuum often. Carpet had glass shards in it.

I read some of the poor reviews that were given, and I thought...these must really be some who tend to find fault easily.This hotel can be summed up with one word "quaint". I think that the reviewer who was annoyed by the ghost and didn't think that he added anything to the hotel probably would not be happy staying anywhere and would always see negatives. The area that the hotel sits in is just as quaint as the hotel itself. Fells point is chalk full of history and wonderful shops, and the hotels decor was simply splended. I have stayed there twice and will stay there again soon. No hotel will ever be perfection, but this hotel and it's sister hotels come pretty close. Anyone reading these reviews have to check things out for themselves... because if you base it on the people who had problems the whole time, you will miss out on a great experience...

  • Liked — The quantness of the hotel and surrounding area
  • Disliked — Did not have enough channels on the tv
  • Tips/Secrets: — walk all around the area, there are some great shops!

My husband and I traveled to Baltimore for an appointment at Johns Hopkins Hospital and had a confirmed reservation at this Inn for 2 nights. We arrived at the hotel around 6:00 PM and were told they had "overbooked" and could not give us a room. We booked the room on their own website, had a copy of the confirmation emailed back to us, but still were told they had "overbooked." I have traveled extensively in the states and abroad, and have never been turned away from a property due to "overbooking." Ridiculous, and stay away from this hotel since they are unwilling to honor their own reservation confirmations.

I went to the Admiral Fells in with my boyfriend and his family for the weekend, and was quite concerned after reading some of the other reviews. But upon arrival I was pleasantly surprised. Fell Point is absolutely adorable, the water taxi is across the street and that is a great way to get to the harbor and other b-more sites.

I agree parking that is an issue, meters are 1.00 an hour and you can only do 4 hours at a time. Garbage parking is kind of a hike but is 5.00 a da on week days and 3.00 on weekends (not bad). Valet is expense...

We were in room 481 and it was wonderful, nice size huge bathroom, and very clean. The BF and I are planning to go back with out his family very soon!
