asked for a specific time to make up the room and the service showed up exactly on the minute. Commendable. No complaints regarding cleanliness or functionality. The internet worked fine for what we needed, though it took a while for some things to load. Breakfast - though served with plastic cups and utensils - was nonetheless pretty good. An automatic pancake machine makes somewhat flat and chewy pancakes, but there were omelettes and cereals and so on. The coffee was particularly good. Our pet was no problem and though not exactly the best, there is a green spot across from the hotel where pets can walk and do their business. Not that the hotel can do much about it, but the area around the hotel seemed a bit sketchy to me. But then, much of Baltimore seems that way. At night, a security service walks around the building and parking lot. That is somewhat reassuring. The hotel is convenient enough for a number of sites, close to the inner harbor area, and offers shuttles to various locations, though we didn't use that service. Beds, linens, towels and so on are in good condition. In general, a pleasant stay, very friendly staff and service, which I'm finding to be the case at the Holiday Inn chain, overall. Hence, I'm inclined to book with this chain, again. [Less]
