The hotel has a great location very close to the inner harbor. The rooms, although small and dated, are dark but comfortable. The service was pleasant and friendly, but there were issues with Valet parking. The dining experience was overpriced for the lack of food choices. The price is reasonable for the location, although it doesn't feel the safest. The facilities are average.

Upon arrival, I found the rooms to be very clean, but I was surprised by how the hotel could manage to get so much wrong all in one room. Overall, a mixed experience.

The location is near the downtown area, but it can be hard to walk anywhere from the hotel. There are plenty of hotels in the area that offer better service and nicer amenities.
Dining

The bar area was a bit chaotic, where guests had to do everything themselves, including toasting their bread while their eggs got cold. Dining at the Lord Baltimore wasn't up to the standards I expected.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were well-equipped with amenities like a flat-screen TV, fridge, and single-cup coffee maker, but the lack of natural light made the room a bit dark. Although the king room was smaller than expected, the service was excellent, with friendly and welcoming staff offering great assistance. The location was convenient for accessing the convention center and harbor, but the overall dining experience fell short with limited options. Despite some drawbacks, the hotel offered good value for the money.

The hotel had rooms that were nothing like the pictures and descriptions on the website, including a pest trap that raised concerns about rodents or roaches. The absence of AC made the noise level high, with poor sound insulation and frustratingly dark ambiance.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The location was great, close to the Royal Farms arena and the harbor, but the room I got wasn't what I expected.
