We chose this hotel for 3 reasons: 1) We're Hilton Honors members and were looking to stay in a Hilton property; 2) We liked the location--an easy walk from the MARC train station and 3) The reviews on this site have been very positive.
When making our reservation, we noticed that a room with one king-sized bed cost the same as a room with a king-sized bed and a sofa bed. Given that, we chose the latter. We were given a corner room on the 4th floor. The view wasn't the greatest on one side--across the street was an electrical substation. However, the view from the other window was nice--next to the hotel is an old brick building that had a great mural of the Inner Harbor on the wall.
The bed was comfortable--no complaints there. The bathroom had a granite countertop. The only problem was that the sink was too high. I'm short and my husband is average height and we both agreed the sink could have been lower. The hotel provides some toiletries--shampoo, conditioner, mouthwash and lotion. Also provided are shower caps, a makeup remover cloth and a shoeshine cloth.
We were pleasantly surprised to find a refrigerator in the room. This especially nice to have in hot weather for storing cold drinks.
The free breakfast was decent. In addition to pastries, cereal, milk, yogurt, juices, fruit and coffee, there are some hot items. Both days there were eggs. In addition, one day there was biscuits and gravy and another day there were sausage patties. At night, there are free cookies at the check-in desk. Also, by the desk, there is an area where you can purchase cold drinks, ice cream and snacks. Each floor had a soda vending machine and an ice machine.
Housekeeping was excellent. All the staff was friendly and helpful. Thinking back on the experience, I have to say that the hotel offered many amenities that made the stay very pleasant. We would certainly stay here again next time we're in town!
