Holiday Inn Baltimore-Inner Harbor (Dwtn)

Decent family hotel option

We got to check in early so the kids could hit the pool first thing but the hotel said they couldn't be flexible if the room wasn't available. The room was clean and comfy.

We tried to have breakfast there and after 15 minutes of waiting not 1 of the 3 families ahead of us had been seated. We gave up and went somewhere else. In general the hotel felt somewhat crowded and loud in common areas and shared facilities.

Great Value

Was impressed with the room for cost. Staff was helpful.

Parking was expensive and low ceiling No breakfast.

Solid for it's purpose

The location was great, staff were nice, and all basic services and amenities were in place.

The building's age is starting to show (lost an elevator bank for half a day during our stay, leaving 1 public elevator and 1 service elevator to serve 12 floors of rooms). Parking price is $25/night and parking keys aren't always coded properly. Cheaper parking might be available at nearby garages (saw some at $20/night). Room price was absurd because of I stayed during a convention weekend, but even considering that, the costs were pretty abusive ($400 a night is a prime Times Square price; Baltimore should never command that sort of fee). Most of the Inner Harbor hotels were charging in that range, and prices for convention weekends are now steep enough that I'll be looking to stay off property, then drive in/garage my vehicle to save a couple hundred bucks a day.

Bed was comfortable, location was convenient.

No hot water from the sink.
