    The busy location allowed us to hear & see all the street commotion from 2-4am. Baltimore police had to break up a riot just outside our window. Having seen the ordeal my compliments to BPD, professionals!

    Location is great but it is on a busy corner. Expect road / people noise.

    For the second stay, the Anchor Bar was closed. No refrigerator in room so leftovers spoil. Furniture nicked and old. Breakfast is minimal.

    I am a patient at Johns Hopkins and come to Baltimore every 3 months. The Admiral Fell is close to the two hospitals I go to - both the Bayview Campus and Wilmer Eye Institute. Walking to restaurants and the harbor are great distractions while staying in town. Location is everything.

    The room we chose this time was very small with no counter space at all in the bathroom. But we did get a great rate for that room.

    Location is perfect. Right in the heart of a great ba and restaurant scene in Fells Point.

    I didn’t like all the steps you had to carry luggage up. The pillows were really uncomfortable and to me the tub seemed a little dirty but I was only there for one night.

    I liked how convenient the location was for everything I wanted to do. I also loved that you couldn’t hear the outside people at night.

    The mattress wasn't the most comfortable - I suspect aged and worn, if you're a fussy sleeper, maybe this isn't for you. And the shower was average at best - shower curtain didn't protect the bathroom from the spray, and the pressure and spray was lacklustre. Breakfast was very basic, very continental, but there are plenty of other options around.

    I loved the location, that's why I picked it. I didn't spend much time in the hotel, but having it so close to so many cafes and restaurants and the waterfront was just excellent. The hotel is old and outdated, but I knew that before I went, it's not a modern hotel, so I won't be judging it based on that, aside from what actually impacted my stay. I still found it charming. The staff were lovely. I would stay there again. Outside view is from the room's dormer window.

    The mattress in the room left a little bit to be desired, they're also going through renovations so you can tell that they are making updates to the rooms.

    The location was absolutely amazing, and the lady at the front desk had a really great personality.

    It is in the heart of Fell Point and the hotel feels upscale and historic.

    This is a funky hotel with small rooms, no fridge or microwave. Hallways require going up and down stairs - so luggage carts are worthless. Bathrooms are dated.

    The location was great for walking around the interesting neighborhoods. The staff was very friendly. Breakfast was very nice with real plates and healthy, though, limited choices (no hot food).

    The continental breakfast was disappointing- many of the items were not there when we came down for breakfast and were not replenished. If you are going to offer a breakfast, then do so! Otherwise, tell customers that it's first come, first serve.

    Great Location, the rooms were spacious and was nice to look over Broadway during the Halloween party!

    Our particular room must have been located behind the elevator or beside a heavy machine that powers the climate system. There was a mechanical hum and vibration that exceeded white noise level. Occasionally it would cycle off and everything was perfect. But it remained quite prevalent during our time in room.

    The location was everything. The decor was great. Historical, informative, pleasing. The high ceilings were lovely and the amenities meet our needs.

    While the style and history of the hotel is part of it's charm, the interior hallways and aspects of the rooms are very outdated. Bathroom has no counter space and very out of date shower/tub with pealing ceiling. If you don't want to hear loud partying at night, make sure to request a room NOT facing the Admirals Cup bar.

    Location in great if you want to be by the harbor in the heart of Fells Point surrounded by good restaurants and bars. We had a king room which was very spacious.

    The continental breakfast consisted of stale  cereal, toast, and bagels.  It was served in the basement and the woman who was the attendant was not very polite. She kept reminding everyone not to eat in the serving area repeatedly, when a sign posted in the area would have sufficed.

    Location was perfect! Across the street was the harbor with beautiful views just steps away. The bars and restaurants were all in walking distance. The staff were all very friendly, except for one.

    The stairs to enter the building are difficult to manage with luggage and no one to offer help (ok for the young, but dangerous for my 76 year old mother carrying a dolly suitcase), and the room could have had cleaner floors and a tub faucet that didn’t leak.

    The location is spectacular, and the decor is very charming with a taste of the 1800’s

    The place is old and in need of a little TLC. The walls were dirty in our room, the tub was old and stained, furniture old, bed squeaky. There were no bath towels in the room and when I called the front desk about it, I was told that the towels were “here at the front desk and you can come down to get them.” That was weird. But a few minutes later the front desk called to say they would be right up…i guess they were short staffed.

    The location was great. Central to everything. The continental breakfast was nice. It was quaint, and the rooms were named for famous people..with stories about them on the walls.

    The first room we had was facing the main bars, not sound proof at all (there was even a big gap below the window so even with windows shut we could hear karaoke until 2am), so we had a real issue trying to sleep until we were able to move rooms. Property is a bit dated and could use some maintenance. Breakfast was basically non-existent - the first day my partner and I shared the last croissant, and when trying to get a slice of toast was told by a member of staff to go and sit down; needless to say we didn’t bother with the breakfast for the remaining days.

    Rooms were clean and the bed was very comfortable. The hotel was well located in terms of being right next to the harbour and main food/drink places. Staff were friendly and helpful - they allowed us to switch rooms when we had a noise issue in our first one.
