Rated 5.0 out of 5.0 by tv0159 Home Away from Home
The hotel staff was outsatnding and very attentive to our needs. We had multiple rooms for family members and have been here almost 3 weeks. At check out time, I did not want to go home as I had achieved a high level of comfort and knew everyone. I am spoiled. I feel like this is my new home.

Rated 2.0 out of 5.0 by brwbrw Pool Hours are very limited
The entire reason we selected this hotel was that it had an indoor pool. We were very disappointed to learn that during the week it hours of the pool are limited to 7-10:30am, 5-10pm.
Our daughters were very disappointed to not be able to use the pool when we checked in @ 3pm and couldn't use it until the next day because we had plans to visit Camden Yards starting at 5pm.

I like this place, the staff is wonderful and very nice to kids and adults. Special high marks to the resturant staff who are a cut above: I wanted Debbie to come home and take care of family. She is that good. The rooms are fresh and the front desk staff really makes you feel welcome.

Rated 4.0 out of 5.0 by Susan824 Good, but drunk people in lobby.
We were staying in Baltimore for a family funeral. My husband & I had a very nice King room, but my adult daughters & kids reserved 2 Queen beds & were given a King with a fold out single couch. This would not work for 4 people & also the couch cushions were off the couch on the floor & there was no bedding. When we called the front desk, they told us they were totally booked because of the Orioles home game opening. They were told that they could have another room the following night, but not that night. After insisting my daughters be moved, they found another room which worked out.
The night of the Orioles game, there were several drunk men in the lobby after the game, early in the AM. The day we left, there was also 2 drunk men coming in & out of the lobby asking women if they could help with luggage! This was before noon, and there was nothing said from staff.
Nice property, but more security needed & more alert staff.
Also ate dinner in hotel restaurant. Very pricey & food was only moderate.

Rated 4.0 out of 5.0 by Topher70 Overall a good visit
Was checked in quickly at the front but had to ask for the package deal that I signed up for because the person at the front desk did not look threw the whole reservation on her screen to locate it. When I tried to get into the room neither of my room keys work so back to the front desk I went. The next day of our stay house keeping did not stop by the room to make the bed or to at least exchange our towels. We did eat in the restaurant twice which provided us with very good meals.

Rated 1.0 out of 5.0 by Poet Coffee or coffee ersatz that is the question ?
Very dear Holiday In's respectable and venerable director,
I come from a European country which is for you somethings like Middle Age time.... but perhaps it is time for you to correct your point of view.
I'm really sorry BUT the coffee served for breakfast was something like an "old sock juice" which maybe saw some coffee during World War1, but I'm not really sure, maybe it was during the 100 years Battle between France and England or during the Cruisador.
Else it was a great pleasure in room #638 to hear the symphony of the ice machine all night along.... and to wait long minutes the old retired lift either to go up or to go down.
BUT, overall, the crew was very nice, warm and convivial, specially the valet (and I mean it)... but (sorry for an other but) their French was not as good as expected... and their English as fast as the Indianapolis race cars.... and I appreciated so much they were carring so much about my difficulties to follow a such quick way of speaking the Shakespear language.
Thank you for your welcoming and I hope you enjoyed my survenue...
Greetings

Rated 2.0 out of 5.0 by Neptune Something is wrong with the heat in the rooms
When I arrived, I was given a room where the heat was blazing and there was no way to turn it off. Every time I adjusted the thermostat for cooler, the temperature went hotter. I was in the room for 5 minutes when it reached 87 degrees according to the thermostat display. I called the front desk and a staff person came to the room, acknowledged that it was way too hot and took me to another room. The second room heated up during the night and again there was no way to turn it off. I didn't sleep and in the morning told the front desk that the room felt like a bad power failure during a heat wave...they sent a technician to dismantle the heating unit and took $20 off my bill for one night...the room never was comfortable for the two nights I was there for a conference. I didn't sleep until returning home to my own bed. Several other people at the conference said they had hot rooms.
The hotel was clean, buffet breakfast was good and the breakfast staff very friendly but the lack of comfort and sleep was not good.

Rated 4.0 out of 5.0 by GDW57 One Night Stand
My wife and I stayed last Saturday Night for our 34 Anniversary. The central location was great for an evening at the Hippodrome and a leisurely strool of the Inner Harbour.
Jacinta at the front desk was terrific; cheerful, helpful and got us checked in quickly. Kudos to Mike our server at breakfast as well, he just couldn't do enough for us.
The only negatives were there a little bit of a musty smell in the room that may have caused some sinus issues. After our show on Saturday, we went back to the bar to watch the NCAA game. THe bar was crowded but really dead. They don't have frozen drinks at the bar and there was no food being served.
Overall, great location, terrific staff and the breakfast was also very good. Would recommend and stay here again.

Rated 4.0 out of 5.0 by mychannie Not too shabby
My experience was at the HI was very good. The staff was super friendly from beginning to end. The rooms were clean- I am the type who brings her own pillows and blanket. The breakfast buffet and service was so wonderful we ate lunch there as well. It is also helpful that the kids eat free. The pool seemed very clean and they had plenty of chairs around the pool. The only downfall was that the lifeguard was a bit rude and I saw him on his cell phone several times instead of watching the children in the pool. Check out was quick and they easily granted me a later check out. I will be back!

Rated 5.0 out of 5.0 Wonderful Front Desk!
The front desk staff was so lovely. One girl, I believe her name was Jacinta, was great. She had brown hair and wore glasses if that helps to identify. She was so polite, she smiled at everyone, and she was efficient in helping me. My room was very clean, neat, and had everything I needed. Overall, I had a great experience and I will definitely choose this hotel whenever I visit Baltimore.

Rated 4.0 out of 5.0 by BillCh Good location and fair service
I stayed at this hotel for a meeting held at the convention center. It's really close by and also has convenient access to the light rail, making traveling to the airport fairly easily. I enjoyed the pool and fitness center, within which provides fresh fruits and water. Staffs are friendly in general. The only drawback is we find a plastic bottle left on my roomate's bed someday after we came back from the meeting. Also no free coffee is provided in the Lobby, not sure if that is true for all Holiday inns .

It was very noisy and I had trouble sleeping. Awoke to no hot water which made things very difficult. The room could not be comped because I had paid in advance. I did book directly itch Holiday Inn not a third party.

Rated 2.0 out of 5.0 by KoldShowers No hot water
I stayed for 3 days and did not get hot water for the shower. It fluctuated between sort of warmish and cold. The second day I called the manager after finishing with goose bumps, the water was so cold.
I told the manager that was the second day with no hot water and yes she could send someone to look at my shower as the valve was messed up and leaking.
There was absolutely no evidence that anyone looked at the shower and the third day was another tepid to cold shower day.
There was no follow up from management about my complaint.
The internet seemed to also work cyclically. It would kick me off for no reason. I had to sign in about 5 times in two straight hours of working. After a while I gave up and used my phone for internet.

Rated 4.0 out of 5.0 by John5321 Great room and coffee shop-Close to Inner Harbor
Very happy with the room, coffee shop, and short walk to the Inner Harbor. Front desk was not as helpful as I would have liked when I get to the hotel late in the evening. Parking was expensive but very helpful. Room was modern, clean, and quiet. More late night food options in bar area would be helpful.

The stall and cleanliness of the hotel was very good. However the beds were horrible!! Probably the worst I have ever had to sleep in. For the price you pay one would think you could get quality. They seriously need to updated the bed attire!!

The WIFI connection was disappointed. It is very slow and extremely unstable. I stayed there 5 nights and raised WIFI issue, but it seems the problem is caused by the layout of network infrastructure. No apparent improvement was made for me.

Rated 3.0 out of 5.0 by MeterDude February Stay for Meeting
Overall the hotel was not that bad. I was upgraded to a suite which was nice. But my room was in the "West" building. That involved going outside from the main building. Not only was this inconvenient when going to the pool and fitness center, it also was a problem when I checked in. You need a room key to get access to the West building and neither of my keys worked. So I had to go back to the main building. But neither of my keys worked there either. So I had to walk through the parking lot out to the street to go in the front entrance.
