Room was a bit dated, the carpet looked like from another era. Breakfast was ok. Overall, a nice place to stay for the cost

Hyatt Place Baltimore Inner Harbor
DIdn't get the breakfast because it closed earlier than advertised on weekdays. Staff was not the most welcoming. Our AC was broken for several hours, they did end up fixing it. Carpet was filthy dirty. Just don't feel I got what I paid for.

Pier 5 Hotel Baltimore
My only complaint is the bed. The mattress was old and my back hurt each morning when I woke up. The staff was excellent, location perfect, parking great. If they replaced the mattresses I’d definitely stay again.
