Rooms were super quiet. Loves the character of the place. Would love to come back for a longer stay. Tons of places to eat in the area. Walkable and quiet streets for a city. Tried to get the offsite parking app to work, don’t know why it wasn’t (no fault of hotel) but the staff graciously helped us out with that situation when they could have just blown us off. Thanks for a wonderful stay.

The only thing is that the hotel needs a little clean up. I know they are going for the old look but it is dusty in the lobby area. The rugs in the rooms also need to clean.

Cool aesthetics, not much else

Hotel is very cool aesthetically, but that’s basically what it offers! No hair dryer, no ironing board. My room had a steamer that didn’t really work. Rooms are clean and look good for instagram, but that’s where it ends for me. No coffee in room. I am a previous Baltimore resident, so I know my way around, but I wouldn’t stay here if you don’t have some familiarity with Baltimore. Rooms were clean; staff was friendly. Bar is good but expensive for area. ($24 before tax and tip for a happy hour drink and hummus plate).
