I will never forget the incredible smell of this place. I wish I had brought their products/candles home. Kayla was an amazing host. I’m staying here every trip to BWI from now on.

Weekend staycation.

I live locally but decided to do a staycation for my boyfriend's birthday. Stayed 2 nights from Friday to Sunday. Check-in was easy and Kayla was great. She shared information about happy hour and other events that were happening that evening. The decor and overall vibes of the hotel are nice. The rooms were smaller than I anticipated, but very clean and comfortable. The beds were very comfortable. My only complaint about the room was the water pressure in the shower was low. Blooms was a nice place to grab a drink before and after dinner. I was provided 2 complimentary drink tickets. The drinks were well balanced and tasted great. Would definitely come again.

Staff was nice. Pipes were very noisy and loud when people were using water. No parking except in an alley a block away and cost 17.00 dollars. Didn’t feel safe walking to hotel at night because there were bars.

Decided to get a room with a friend because we were going to a concert and wanted to not worry about driving home to DC/VA. What an absolute treasure we found! The decor was amazing. Before even getting to my room I had my camera out to show my boyfriend. The room wasn’t particularly large but it had a couch, king canopy bed, night tables, an armoire and leopard print carpet. If you are looking to sit at a desk and get work done this room would not have been for you. If you’re looking to feel like you’ve stepped into history but more whimsical definitely stay here. The bathroom was so cool. If you like doing your work where the people are there were ample places to sit at either of the two bars they have. There is a bar/drinks only bar to the right of the entrance that was just stunning. I got 2 drinks and while I wish the first one had mentioned that it had Midori in it (because I would have gotten something else) it was at least well balanced. The second drink was a classic and the bartender did a great job. The other side of the building has a bar/lounge which serves food and drinks. Regrettably I only got the olives, which as expected were delicious. The food I saw being served both looked and smelled good. We stayed on a Friday and could hear people in the streets at night but it wasn’t really an issue, unless you’re really noise sensitive. In the morning we walked around and had a great time. 10/10 staying here again. Bringing my best friend and also my boyfriend.

Front desk was always available and courteous, complementary water and a free drink as an Expedia member was nice. This hotel is right in the middle of the rich history of Baltimore.

Charming hotel and great location

I wanted to really like this hotel. It’s charming in a historic building. My room was small, but adequate. I appreciated the space-saving details like a freestanding “closet” created using some rods and fabric. Furnishings and decor were unique and tasteful. Cons: stairs outside and inside the hotel are not “luggage-friendly”; I chose to make two trips to load my rental car. Also, it was not made clear that morning pastries and coffee were not complimentary. The woman who checked me in was not very informative. I arrived at 9 PM on Friday and the restaurant kitchen was closing. The bar was open but not serving food. I would stay at the Ulysses again, but I will feel more prepared the second time.
