There are mixed reviews about this hotel, and I think it has to do with your expectation going in.
This hotel is fine for an overnight trip to the Inner Harbor. My husband and I stayed there, it is in a safe neighborhood, and there were always people walking to and from the Inner Harbor. If you feel unsafe in this neighborhood, you probably feel unsafe in any city.
The hotel staff was very caring. We stayed in the South Tower, which has been renovated. Again, the rooms are based on your expectations. If you are hoping for a luxe, spa-like room with lots of space, this is probably not your hotel. If you want a clean, decent space, it's great. I would probably be upset if I paid more than $100 a night for the hotel, but I didn't. I got the room on priceline.com.
We went to the pool. It was about 80 degrees outside. The pool was not heated. Water was a little too cold to enjoy. Yet we loved the ambiance of the pool, which makes you feel like you are in an urban oasis. It also had a grill and some great furniture.
We ate breakfast at the restaurant in the hotel. Not recommended.
Overall, it was a great place for a quick overnight trip. If you want a suite-like room, you probably need to find another place. We found it perfect for our needs, but we rarely spend a lot of time in our room when vacationing.
