Wonderful

Cute, charming, room. Stylish lobby, friendly staff. Didn't try the bar or restaurant but they were both very active and looked inviting. I would stay here again for sure!
I usually stay at Ulysses when I am in Baltimore, but this time my credit card was offering a stay at a nearby hotel and, I made the terrible mistake of spending the night there and the next morning immediately vacated and went to Ulysses! The staff is always very nice and the hotel always smells divine!
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.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Wonderful courteous staff and very clean rooms. The only reason it's not five star is because there was no assistance with my luggage, including no ramp into the building. I am an older woman and generally need assistance with that.
This hotel has a lot of character
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.
Lovely stay, as usual. The breakfast service is always a bit hit or miss, and this is something that could be improved. Front desk staff are incredible.
