Antron Review of Baltimore Marriott Inner Harbo...
Naturally I'm always inclined to seek out the Marr...
Naturally I'm always inclined to seek out the Marriott brand because of many amazing past experiences. I was not familiar with this particular location, but decided of the two local Marriott hotels, this would be the better choice, based on my expected plans.
Parking: $28 per day....no biggie, but if I'm paying that amount each day I'd think they'd invest in a valet system. For $28 I want to drive up, hand over my valet key and simply walk in.
Check-In: Seamless. We were checked-in and given generic hotel information in under 5 minutes. Also taken into consideration was the fact that we were also the only customers in line. They also deserve kudos for allowing us a really early 12pm vs. 4pm standard check-in.
Room Location: Totally sucked. On the 6th floor, alllll the way at the end of the hall. I get it, alot of the better rooms were being cleaned so this was definitely the bottom of the barrel at such an early timeframe.
Room Amenities: The room was pretty accommodating, albeit much smaller than previous Marriott locations I've frequented. The television was a 40" flat screen, a hidden refrigerator was located in the the dresser and they provided a microwave upon request. But the bed deserved the standing ovation.....it was freaking AMAZING. I have traveled this great world a few times over and luxuriated in many a fine beds, but this one has been placed in my top 5. I was floating on a cloud of fluffiness, wrapped in marshmallows on an air of Goose-down feathers. Devine....but au contraire my fellow Yelpers.....let us continue.
Water Temperature: I usually conduct a function and cleanliness inspection upon arriving. All was well until I checked the water pressure and temperature of the hot water. The pressure was decent but the water temperature was lukewarm at best. I immediately phoned this in to the front desk. She said she'd send a technician up promptly. I had other matters to attend to so I wasn't present when the said technician arrived. Hours later I arrive back in my room, tired, weary and ready for "that" shower. Uggggg the water temperature was actually worst! I quickly took the fastest shower of my life and called the front desk again. She wanted to send another technician to my room but it was very late and I was drained....and upset. I was told that a manager would be emailed and would notify me the next morning. That sufficed for the time being. The next day after speaking with management, the hotel comped the daily parking charge for our inconvenience.
Overall, decent hotel, convenient location and modern amenities. I'd recommend.
