The hotel itself was good accommodations. Room was clean and well designed. Staff did not accurately communicate how parking worked with the designated lot creating some issues. Lot is isolated about a block away and accessible by a narrow alley.

Staff was great. Room clean. The lighting in the room was dim and access to electrical outlet very difficult. Room lacked basic items such as a phone and alarm clock. Very little room and hard to get out of bed without hitting the wall. It was a good value as it was located close to where I needed to be.

Wonderful boutique hotel located in the heart of Baltimore, close to a wide variety of attractions in the Inner Harbor and Mount Vernon. If you are looking for an exciting unique experience distinct from typical hotel experience, this place is definitely worth a visit. The rooms, bar, and restaurant are classically elegant and beautiful. They don't have an onsite gym but a great perk is that you can use the gym at MV fitness which also provides a great unique experience - working out at a beautiful classical building. I would highly recommend this place.
