central hub for exploring baltimore's inner harbor and parks

I really appreciated how close the hotel was to the lively Inner Harbor, just over a kilometer away, making it easy for me to enjoy beautiful waterfront views during my city strolls. Being only a short walk of about 500 meters to the historic Holocaust Memorial added to my experience, giving me plenty of landmarks to explore at my own pace. the breakfast was an awesome perk to start my busy days.

The staff was so professional and friendly. I had no idea I’d end up with such a comfy room, it was clean and spacious with a quiet atmosphere.

It wasn't exactly inexpensive but still acceptable.

I loved how the breakfast spread included a full continental feast with eggs and bacon, and the historic ambiance of the converted bank was truly charming. The relaxing atmosphere by the beautiful lobby made it easy to unwind after a long day. Just a heads up, we had a little mix-up at check-in regarding room proximity, but it didn’t ruin our experience at all! 😊

The stay in a converted bank building was intriguing, with the recently renovated room featuring a beautiful design. The complimentary breakfast offered an impressive variety, including a pancake-making machine. However, a fire scare created confusion, as guests weren't informed about safety procedures. Additionally, the bag lunch was unexpected, contradicting the website's breakfast claim.

It was just a great fit for a temporary stay in Baltimore at a good price. The staff were super friendly, especially Rixa, who offered to take our group picture. Be sure to enjoy the nearby Farmers Market if you get a chance.

Cozy, Cozy, Cozy

I loved the charming atmosphere of this beautifully renovated historic bank building! The breakfast in the fine lobby was a delicious start to my day, with a pancake-making machine that was just too fun. And can we talk about the gym being in the old bank vault? Such a unique twist to my workout routine!

a warm welcome and a beautiful lobby set the perfect mood for your stay!

Gorgeous lobby, friendly staff.

Exceptional Service in a Unique Setting

During our stay, we thoroughly enjoyed the unique atmosphere of the beautifully restored lobby, which was once a bank. The breakfast spread was impressive with a variety of options to choose from, including fluffy pancakes and fresh fruit. The friendly shuttle service made exploring the city very convenient, and the staff went above and beyond to cater to our needs. However, some areas of the hotel felt a bit dated, which could be improved with some renovations.

Comfortable Stay with Room for Improvement

The king room provided a comfortable night's sleep. While the mini-fridge lacked a freezer, the staff kindly stored our cold packs. The area felt unsafe for walking, so opt for rideshare services if venturing out. The hotel is clean, yet the décor could use modernization.

Their breakfast spread was a real treat, with fluffy eggs and bacon that hit the spot! Plus, Abbouda's warm hospitality made you feel right at home. Definitely a solid 10 for the dining scene.

While I had a fab time, I do wish they had a fun spot like a steam room or pool.

I appreciated the beautifully restored lobby that reflected historic charm. The breakfast selection was great, with fluffy eggs and bacon. Staff provided really good service, addressing needs promptly. The location was convenient and well-lit at night. Clean and tidy rooms enhanced my comfortable stay.

The Holiday Inn Express in Baltimore impressed me with its historic charm. This old bank turned hotel has a unique and elegant design. The staff were incredibly helpful, making my stay more comfortable. My room was clean and spacious, with a microwave and refrigerator. They offer a convenient shuttle that took me to Johns Hopkins and the Inner Harbor, which made life easier. Breakfast included a good selection, but I noticed some items were missing, like cinnamon rolls. I didn’t love the coffee, which could use some improvement. Parking was a bit tight, and the nearby neighborhood felt a bit sketchy. I wouldn’t recommend walking around at night, but the hotel felt safe overall.

Breakfast selection was great and well-prepared.

My experience at this hotel was particularly disappointing. The area surrounding the hotel felt unsafe, especially at night, which left me feeling anxious walking to my car. The lack of amenities like a pool or steam room made the stay feel less appealing and much too basic for the price paid.

The Holiday Inn Express features a beautifully restored lobby reminiscent of a former bank, creating a warm atmosphere. The staff, particularly Amaka at check-in, provided exceptional service, addressing all my needs promptly. The breakfast selection included various proteins, fresh fruits, and a pancake-making station, setting the right tone for my busy workdays.

The hotel is located in a downtown area that may feel uncomfortable for some to walk around at night.
