Quirky Baltimore at its Best
This is a wonderfully quirky hotel. The decor is all over the place in a way that is truly enjoyable (if a little confusing). It’s a really nice taste of the charm of Charm City! It was clean, and the bed and pillows were comfortable. Service was also friendly and helpful all around. The WiFi was great. I did an hour and a half on Zoom while my husband was also online, and we had no problem. Cocktails at Bloom and pastries and proper espresso drinks at the Ash Bar were on point. They are both a little overwhelming and delightful in their over-the-top decor - reminiscent of The Shining (sans ghosts) or being inside a jewel box. The neighborhood is one of the most fun in Bmore. We ate at one of the many restaurants within a few blocks and then continued on to a concert at the Lyric Opera House just a couple of blocks farther. Call the front desk to get a parking recommendation for about $17 for 24h. It’s very close

Incredibly charming and nice property. My room had a great view of downtown Mount Vernon and it was really cool being able to see The Washington Monument lit up without even leaving my room. All the staff were extremely friendly and helpful. Would stay here again.

The room we stayed in had a blue color scheme which was very nice. Every staff member was exceptional. The bed was not the most comfortable but fine for one nights stay. Water pressure for the sink was none existent, again fine for one night. The hotel itself was so unique and fun. Would definitely stay again for a short stay.
