I really liked this hotel and want to visit again. The rooms were nice, decor was tasteful, and in room amenities quality. I booked the room last minute for a one night stay, but intend to return. Menu and cocktails at the hotel restaurant (Poets) were delightful. the front desk staff were friendly, attentive, and professional. The service at Poets was very slow, it appeared there was only one server on that shift, and he was overwhelmed, but the delays were unacceptable. I was also surprised that the hotel does not appear to offer express check out through the TV. I haven't checked out in person from a hotel in years unless there was a problem. However, this was definitely mitigated by very attentive front desk staff -- checkout was a breeze.

A nice, comfortable room in a great part of the city. Friendly staff and trendy decor. I'm not sure why anyone would put a sliding door on a bathroom.

The Mount Vernon boasts a great location; clean, comfortable (but nothing too luxurious) rooms; a very helpful staff; and a free breakfast every morning-- all at a terrific value for how close it gets you to Inner Harbor and all that downtown Baltimore has to offer. This is not the perfect hotel, but it can't be beat for the value! There are a number of problems to consider when booking at the Mount Vernon. Parking is difficult, especially if you arrive late (our drive to Baltimore got us in after 3); there is a parking garage across the street, but it is closed overnight; and there is an open-air parking lot two blocks away. Parking is fairly inexpensive in these lots, but some travelers may not be comfortable with these options. Accommodations are also sparse; the rooms are comfortable, but not big, and there were small problems for the staff to remedy. For example, the hair dryer in our room was broken and seemed unsafe for use. Lastly, the free breakfast that is offered is not that good. They provide coffee, tea, juices, cereal, yogurt, breakfast breads, and some hot options, like eggs, grits, and hash browns. The hot options were not always available on time, and were uniformly underwhelming. But, it is free, which makes it more difficult to complain.

The location was excellent. The room was poorly cooled, the television didn't work, the bathroom sink drain was broken, the television remote control didn't work when the television did, the breakfast was mostly very poor quality and the towels might as well have been paper.

It was comfortable there--a large bed and a large desk which are what I needed the most there. Both of the bedside lamps were not working, and the standing lamp was a little bit broken but still working. One of the two charging plugs was not working.

I liked the location and the service was excellent. The price was good and the breakfast was a nice buffet. The room was also very clean. The "temperature controled" room is a FARCE! It is on a mass controlled system for the entire building which means the building is either set to a/c or to heat. It was over 80 degrees in our room each night NO MATTER how we set the tempterature because it only controls the blower (low, medium, high) but doesn't control the type of air that comes out. TERRIBLE in the Spring when temperatures fluctuate! Also, I completely believe that this hotel is used a back up for a shelter or for a some sort of government housing or possibly a place domestic abuse families. It was full of people who were obviously NOT tourists and in volitile relationships. The first night, it was almost empty on our floor, but then a flood of people came in the next day and that night, people were screaming at each other and a corner of rooms were obviously smoking weed. People were up until 3 am in the hallways carrying on conversations. Also, the Mount Vernon area is not the most ideal area -- I would suggest staying in Fells Point if you don't want to stay in the Inner Harbor or to stay IN the Inner Harbor instead of Mount Vernon.

The location was awesome and they have a great breakfast! Facilities are just okay, but good for the price.
