Let me start by giving Groupon a great big shout out. This trip was booked as a mini vaca out on NYC. Ride was about 3 hours (no traffic) Because we booked it on Groupon it came with a complimentary valet parking for one car per nights stay + Hi Speed internet. Our room was a Harbor view King and the view was gorgeous (room 620, 6 floor). I tell you the hotel has the best location for views of the harbor. Sunrise and set was gorgeous! The hotel is well kept & stunning and features numerous art works throughout it. My only gripe is that the rug in the room seemed to be faded (no biggie) Both the room / bathroom was well kept. The furniture could you an update, but then again it fit the Victorian look of the hotel. They do have a lounge, coffee shop and restaurant on the premises but we chose to go out and explore.

The hotel is directly across from the harbor. We simply walked out the building and crossed the street. It's located in a really prime area near anything you could possibly need: Mall, Shopping center, Science Museum (right across the street), Aquarium, Boat rides, restaurants (Phillips, steak houses, Bubba Gump Shrimp, Hooters, Mo's Seafood Factory (We highly recommend this place. the food and drinks are to DIE for + they have a shuttle that will pick you up and drop you off), Starbucks, Cheese Cake factory, Hard Rock Cafe, Uno's, Five guys, and host of other local restaurants and bars. Also it is very close to the convention center, Oreo's Stadium and Baltimore Ravens Stadium. I tell you location, location, location...... It means everything when you are traveling don't you agree.

The staff was very friendly. I can not tell you how nice this whole experience was. We did meet someone who had an issue with the room they had, but the issue was quickly resolved.

Over all I say this hotel is a keeper. I plan om going back this summer with the family. The location is perfect for a family getaway that won't break the bank but is full of activities and places to visit. Please give them a try you won't be sorry.
