Baltimore hotels near Lightship Chesapeake

Cons: Pool is a bit overcrowded and the pools chairs were limited. Maybe more pool space?

Cons: Horrible customer service! Tons of attitude and talking back. I stayed there for 5 nights, and my room wasn't cleaned at all 2 days out of those. The front desk lady told me in the end of the day that it wasn't her job to clean, that all the cleaning stuff was out for the day, and that there was no manager I could talk to on premises. She told me to just suck it up and wait till the next day (I am not exaggerating !). When I asked her if cleaning services were supposed to be included in my daily room charges, she said yes. Then there was the ongoing issue with them not replenishing toiletries at all even so that was also included in the daily room charges. All and all, this could of been a great hotel if all the front desk staff was replaced or retrained

Cons: To preface this review, I stayed at the Wyndham for a total of 6 nights. The WIFI worked about half the time, which was detrimental because I was in Baltimore to take intensive courses at JHU and couldn't do my homework in the room. The staff blamed it on the windy weather, but it was such a huge inconvenience. My keycard also failed to work more than half the time, which was another annoyance. The front desk also overcharged me for "incidentals," a total of $115. They charge $50/day up to 2 days, which should only have come up to $100, so where did that extra $15 come from? They were pleasant enough about it, and corrected it accordingly, but I warn future guests to double check their transactions. Also, the fridge in the room wouldn't get cold even though it was plugged in, and the microwave emitted a scary burning smell when used. Finally, I stopped by IN PERSON the day before my check-in to request an extension of my check-out time from 11am to 2pm, and they happily obliged. Then, the night before my check-out date, I called down to the front desk to confirm and they claimed that they were overbooked and can only extend my check-out time to 12pm. When I let them know I made the request prior to check-in, no one seemed to know what I was talking about. They were kind enough to offer to store my luggage, but again, an inconvenience. Overall, my stay was mediocre due to the faulty amenities, but the staff was gracious and polite about everything. Still, I don't think I would stay here again.

Cons: When the desk clerk could not locate information on my reservation, she told me to have a seat nearby while she looked for my reservation elsewhere. When she still couldn't find it, she shouted to me across the lobby that her GM said she can't let me into a room until she got the payment details from Kayak and that I had to call Kayak to resolve the issue. I guess asking me to step up to the desk to discuss my situation or calling Kayak herself was too much trouble. While I called Kayak customer service to attempt to resolve the issue, other guests arrived to check in. As a result, the only clerk working the front desk was busy and could not speak with the Kayak representative I had on my cell phone and they had to call the clerk at the hotel a while later to attempt to resolve the issue. While I sat at the lobby waiting for Kayak to call the desk clerk, a hotel valet came to the front desk and used the phone there to loudly order food for himself and the desk clerk from a local restaurant. And then he proceeded to argue with the restaurant about it giving a discount to hotel employees. Not only was this inappropriate business to conduct at the front desk, but I'm left wondering why the front desk clerk has time to tell the valet what she wants to eat, but she can't call Kayak to attempt to resolve the issue with my room. Once the desk clerk spoke with someone from Kayak, she again shouted to me across the lobby about the status of the issue. She said they needed to fax her the information again. After waiting another 5-10 minutes, I approached the desk and asked if she had received the information she needed yet. She said no and walked away from me to FINALLY check the fax machine. Lo and behold, the information she needed was there and she checked me into my room with barely a perfunctory apology for the delay. She also made sure to tell me the issue was that the Kayak third party service provider handling my reservation had the wrong fax number for the hotel so the issue was really someone else's fault. I guess this hotel is nice enough for the price if you don't have any issues with which you need any customer service. But if there is the slightest issue, or you just stick around the lobby for a little while, you'll see that the staff really doesn't seem to have much training on professionalism. I was pretty disappointed by the experience.

Cons: Parking can be an issue; they have valet service (for between $20-$35) that I recommend to anyone not familiar with the neighborhood (we had lived around the corner years before, so knew how to find good parking sports). Additionally, we were staying during an extremely cold (below average temperatures) weekend, and found everything to be a little chilly. On top, we found that the bed was made with only three small pillows and a thin blanket (fine for one person, but there were two of us). When we asked for an extra blanket and pillows later that night, the front desk sadly informed us that they had run out due to a high demand of requests. While they were very sorry, it does seem strange that they had dressed the bed in so few pillows and blankets to begin with, though I understand the need to go for a more minimalist approach in order to conserve energy, etc (and do respect that).

Cons: Bedding was great whne we arrived, but we did find leftover food in the fridge from the previous guests which made us a little wary of using the tub because we weren't sure how thorough the cleaning was

Cons: The reception was rude, we wanted to get food in the middle of the night but there was no one in the building working to suggest any thing to us.

Cons: There was street construction all night, starting at midnight until the next morning when. We checked out. We called for earplugs but the hotel didn’t offer. We barely slept and when I spoke to the manager he had nothing to offer further than an apology for our disturbance. The restaurant has a good view. The food was just ok.

Cons: No family-oriented amenities.

Cons: Hotel is old and well-worn - in desperate need of a rehab. Despite the Joie de Vivre name, the desk clerk on our arrival was decidedly not happy. We booked a two-bed room and got a king with a too-short foldaway cot, and on one of the coldest days of the year they did not have any spare blankets, so we were given three sheets instead. For $80 a night it would have been ok - for twice that, it was a ripoff.

Cons: Would like to be be able to get coffee by 6

Cons: everything was great

Cons: Lobby

Cons: The bed was way too hard for my personal preference and comfort. Shower could have used a little updating, but the pressure and temperature were perfect.

Cons: A block away fron the hotel are some strip clubs. I was there on a Saturday and didn't hear a thing. If you walk on the other side of the hotel you can avoid seeing. They also had Fox News showing at breakfast. Literally any other channel would have been better.

Cons: After I made the reservation, I was informed the pool and hot tub were closed for the week for repair. It was the main reason I chose this hotel. In fairness the hotel did take my 56 dollar parking fee off and the manager did email me offering to upgrade my room my next visit. Problem is, I'll never go to Baltimore again, city is run down and can't walk 10 feet without getting bombarded by a homeless person asking for money.

Cons: The carpet in the rooms need updating although there were 2 double beds there was plenty of room for Queen beds.

Cons: The toilet was either running or not flushing for the entirety of our stay. Had maintenance come up 4 times within 2 days. Asked for a later checkout time for our troubles the 4th time I called. They gave us an extra hour. It was running again when we left.

Cons: Parking a little pricey but that's the way it is anywhere downtown Baltimore. Valet feature is worth it.

Cons: When we arrived there was no valet parking available. The hotel parking lot said full but we pulled in anyway & found plenty of spots. ( we think they put full sign up to discourage people going to baseball game from parking in lot ) Parking too expensive : $30 per day

Cons: Some of the furniture was pretty old but I really don't need anything fancy to put my clothes into.

Cons: Some repairs needed, esp. in bathrooms and pool area. Pool closed at 10 PM. A fridge was in the room but no minibar/snacks. The smoke alarm flashed all night (brightly).

Cons: Not having a trash can by the little kitchen area, but I am a neat freak,

Cons: No complaints

Cons: Room seemed dated

Cons: Our room backed up to elevator, could hear that all night.

Cons: Unfortunately we had an issue with our room reservation and this did not sit well with us since we were traveling with our young son. We made a reservation that included a king bed. When we checked in they informed us that they "over-booked and did not have any rooms available with king beds. We informed them that we made the reservation that way because we needed the room for our son. Didn't matter. They did compensate us by giving us free/complementary breakfast and snacks but that didn't change our feelings or put us in a room with a king bed. We were given a room with two double beds and we made it work but it was not as convenient. We will seriously take this into consideration if and or when we use this site or make another reservation.

Cons: Maybe we were just there on a bad weekend, but there were a lot of rowdy kids at the hotel. Noise was a problem.

Cons: start at the start there no way from the parking to the hotel with out going outside this is wong and nothing tell you this?? it said bar in room wong.

Cons: Nothing

Cons: For the price the room was adequate. We asked to have the room made up when we were out and that never happened. There were issues with the elevators.

Cons: Restaurant facility understandably operating under Covid restrictions. Almost 50 dollars for a sparse take out breakfast for two seems steep.

Cons: I put my dates in on your website and it took me to booking.com where it didn't transfer that data. So I wasn't paying close attention and I booked the reservation but it was for the day I booked it. I lost my discount and ended up paying over $40 more for the room because I didn't get the discount on the room. It took me a while to figure out how I messed up and after retracing my exact steps, I figured out that the dates didn't transfer. Now I looked again at the correct dates and the discount price that both the hotel and booking.com said no longer was available for the date in question showed up on the date that I needed (24th of Jan.) Ultimately the mistake was mine, and I will be much more careful in the future when I book online.

Cons: The shower was not as luxurious as the rest of the room itself but it did the trick and was super clean. The bathroom door, while funky, did not offer much privacy which could be a little awkward if traveling with non-family members, as i did on this visit.

Cons: While I rate the hotel as "good" overall, and excellent for the price, the following were the few shortcomings of the hotel: The free (FREE!) breakfast was served in the main lobby which sounded rather loud and chaotic - sort of like a bus station. We didn't have breakfast in the hotel, but if we had, we would have taken the food back to our room for that reason. Also, I had called down to order food from the lobby "gallery" and was told it would be ready in 10 minutes, but apparently they had forgotten part of the order so I had to wait a few minutes. Not a big deal in the bigger scheme. Another downside was the sound insulation from the hallway - not terrible, but not excellent, either. We heard no noise from other rooms, other than an occasional bark from a dog (which made us miss our pup that we had left behind for the weekend). But again, what else would you expect from a hotel that allows dogs? We slept soundly through the night. The room was very clean overall. The tile grout in the shower looked a bit dirty, and if I were paying $300/night I would expect better. But then again, you should have seen the shower facilities in the rainforest! And for that matter, I'm having a hell of a time getting the grout clean in my shower at home. Before leaving, I had quickly checked the hotel's website to see if they had a pool - I could not find it on the website (it was listed under "Activities" rather than "Amenities/Facilities") - so we left our bathing suits home. Turns out they have a pool after all... I shoulda called! Finally, I thought valet parking was a bit steep at $35/day. There is a parking deck behind the hotel (Fleet & Eden Garage at 501 Eden St.) that charges much less, and for some odd reason, even though the ticket said my car was parked there for "1 day, 15 hours, and 6 minutes" we were only charged $6! So pull up at the hotel, check in and drop off your bags, and drive halfway around the block. Save more than a few bucks, and think of me for giving you this tip when you have your first beer!

Cons: The pool room is in dire need of acoustic tiles. The sound in there with just a few kids was absolutely deafening. The decibel level was high enough to cause damage to eardrums.

Cons: The cost of parking when I could have went around the block and paid $20 less for the night

Cons: They have a indoor poor that is extermely small and only goes up to 4ft. And water appeared to be a little cloudy. We were not able to take advantage of the pool and this was part of the reason we selected this hotel! Very disappointed about that!

Cons: Location was a bit far from convention center

Cons: Having to leave

Cons: The room was very dark, there's almost no light in the entryway/desk area, where it's needed most.

Cons: Cheaper valet parking fees. Go to the lot one block away for $4 flat on the weekends.

Cons: We did not have a remote control in our room. When we called down to ask for one (it was late, so maybe there was nothing to be done) we never heard back about a new one. Also there was very very low water pressure in the shower. We had a hard time getting ready in the morning without water.

Cons: Construction was still ongoing.

Cons: Fire alarm went off at 2am
