The perfect place to simply relax and let David take care of your needs - wonderful service, terrific ambience and comfort level. Suggestions for restaurants were outstanding in terms of both spectacular service and food together with warm reception from the restaurant's owners and staff. Helpful in providing directions too. David's motto is "no problem" and he means it. There is nothing he won't help with from a superb cup of coffee to a great breakfast, etc.

My recent trip to Baltimore was not for vacation but in order to get a feel for the city as a possible future home. I choose to stay at Inn at 2920 not only because it looked extreamly comfortable (and was) but also because I knew Canton, the area in which the Inn is located, would be an enjoyable and safe place for me to wonder around. David and Debbie Shwartz welcomed me into their Inn and also welcomed the MANY questions I had regarding the city, its neighborhoods, and activites there. They were a fantstic resource and very eager to assist me in many of the activites I had planned during my trip providing excellent directions and very sound advice. David and Debbie are certainly eager to please thier guests. My morning coffee and breakfast were 5* quality --sooo yummy! I will reccommend the Inn at 2920 to anyone I know traveling to Baltimore and I will definitly reserve a room for myself the next time I travel there.

It's hard to give a dissenting view amongst all of this positive feedback, but, honestly, the Inn at 2920 was a huge disappointment that left us more in need of a vacation than when we arrived there. My husband and I took a much-needed long-weekend break (our first vacation in ... a long, long time), and decided to spend it at 2920 in part because of its high rating on Trip Advisor. We discovered on our first night there that there was a problem with the heating system -- the 2nd-floor vents were in the wall just beside our 3rd-floor bedroom (the Pomfret Room) and vibrated so loudly that I had a headache within minutes of walking into the room. It was like the buzzing of a fluorescent light magnified 1000 times. The problem was solved the first night by turning off the heat to the second floor (no one was staying on that floor that night), and David did have a repairman there the next morning to try to fix the vibration. It was quiet for about 30 minutes after the repairman left. Now, I grant you that 2920 is a well-appointed Inn, and David is a hospitable and eager host, and that was why we stayed despite the recurrence of the vibration, but we should have left. There were guests on the second floor during our next two nights there, so turning the heat to that floor off was not an option (during record-low temperatures). Instead, we agreed with David that the heat would be turned off from 11 p.m. to 7 a.m. (and the second-floor guests would use space heaters overnight). So, from 7 a.m.
until 11 p.m., any time we spent in our room was miserable. And, on our last night there, when we returned to the hotel well after 11, looking forward to a quiet room, the heat was on ... We figured out how to turn it down around 1 a.m.; it came throbbing back on at 4 a.m.

Were it not for this exhausting problem, or had we been in a different room, we probably would have enjoyed our stay at 2920. But the vibration made all of the lesser criticisms -- dusty furniture, dying plants, window shades that wouldn't raise, and the forced chattiness of a b&b, rather than the quiet intimacy of a true inn -- seem even worse than they were. Despite their claims, very little about our stay at 2920 was relaxing. And not until we were leaving did David acknowledge that there had been a similar problem with another room -- a problem that had been fixed with cork pads that couldn't be installed until warmer weather. Had we known that this had been a problem with other guests in the past, and not just something people put up with, we definitely wouldn't have stayed past the first night.

Should we at least have been offered some compensation for our trouble?
Probably. Is David a nice person and a good chef? Absolutely. But, by our last morning there, I would have gladly had a bowl of cereal for breakfast in exchange for a comfortable night's sleep.

I have stayed at the Inn many times and have absolutely enjoyed the hospitality I was given by David and Debbie Schwarz. The setting in Canton is wonderful since it is adjacent to a number of great restaurants and David prepares breakfasts like I have never seen before. The rooms are cozy and tidy and the whole Inn feels like a home for its guests. In all, I enjoyed the experience a great deal.
