I booked the hotel via Hotwire when paying for an Inner Harbor location. The quick and dirty is that the hotel is fine if you get a good rate and don't mind a walk through some seedy area's to get to the inner harbor.
The hotel itself is a historic landmark and the lobby and public area's still are a throwback to old times and are quite beautiful. My kind sized room was larger than many hotel rooms I have stayed at. I did not have any of the cleanliness problems of other reviewers. The bed was great, bathroom was small, but I've been in smaller. Staff was very friendly.
My biggest complaint is the location. I work in downtown Los Angeles and have no problem walking the streets after-dark. So I figured I'd be fine on the 5 block walk to the inner-harbor, not so, I was looking over my shoulder constantly. I took a taxi back for a mere 4 blocks rather than walk. In LA, the homeless leave you alone. Here, they were hotting and hollering at me. Didn't seem like the harmless type I am used to.
I hope not to have to return to Baltimore again, but if I do, I will be staying right on the Inner Harbor.
