This was our first time staying at the hotel and it did not disappoint! My boyfriend and I chose the queen sized room. It was very clean and the bed was super comfortable. It was a small space however, we loved the vibe. The hotel’s decor was interesting and beautiful. We loved the location and parking was easy. This place is a definite when we need to spend the night in Baltimore. 😊

The room was adorable and very unique and it was perfect for the one night I stayed. There wasn’t a fridge or microwave in the room I stayed in, but I don’t know if others might have more amenities. The bar in the hotel was an experience for sure and the atmosphere was unforgettable. I would definitely stay again!
