Midtown Inn was the perfect hotel in the perfect location for a solo traveling weekend!
I would rate the Midtown Inn a 9 out of 10 based on the price paid and the location. Simple as that!
Now, if you are looking for a Marriot or Hilton or even a Holiday Inn, this is not your place. The building is probably 200 years old, the floors are not level and some things could use some upkeep. But overall, the owners have done an excellent job modernizing what they could. I did not see an elevator. The room was generally clean, everything worked and the bed was comfortable.
This was my first ever trip to Baltimore, and I was apprehensive based on reviews of the location. I feel that this location could not have been more perfect, a block from the 1st Washington Monument, the Peabody Institute and Library and the Walters Museum just down the road. I would be walking back from a night at Federal Hill bars after 1AM and each night I would see couples and people out sitting around the monument, talking, etc...
This is an easy walk(15min...) to the upper harbor where you can grab the water taxi and get all around downtown. But I would walk the area around My Vernon too, very nice with many shops and little restaurants.
The staff at check in and check out were easy and nice. I would absolutely stay here again. Just keep in mind, this is a budget hotel, not a resort. Plan accordingly based on your expectations and desires!
