Staybridge Suites Baltimore - Inner Harbor

A very nice spacious room. Excellent find, if you have a need for an extended stay in the Baltimore Inner Harbor area. The Harbor is just 2 blocks away.

The room was very spacious with high ceilings , so it took a while for the heat to kick in.

It is clean, quiet, the staff are nice, they provide free breakfast and happy hour snacks. It is an excellent value. Despite the things I didn’t like, I would stay here again overnight.

There is a sign touting the new beds (mattresses) in each room, so I didn’t investigate why it felt like I was sleeping in a trench until the morning, which hurt my back - when I found a full length vertical indent in the mattress. It is so deep that it feels like the mattress is in two pieces there. This mattress definitely needs to be replaced. They put a $150 hold on your credit card, which reverts when you check out. I happened to be checking out on the day my credit card closes for the month, so I don’t know if the charge will be off my mo they bill. I can afford it, but this could be a nasty surprise for someone. I’ve never encountered a charge this high before. There is a basic kitchen in the room, which is great, but the refrigerator hummed softly. It is basically white noise, but, still. There is free breakfast in the lobby, which is great - but some coffee and tea packets in the room would be nice. The temperature is adjustable, and I cranked it up and turned the fan down to the lowest setting, but I could not get what felt like air conditioning to stop. The room was acceptably warm, but no where like the temperature right outside or what I set it at. The walls are thin enough that I could hear the young child in the next room, but that’s true everywhere. I have never seen so much brown decor, which is certainly not uplifting.
