“This place stands out for its exceptional staff, who go beyond professionalism to offer a genuinely warm welcome, multiple reviewers pointed it out as a highlight of their stay. The fact that there's a free shuttle to key spots like the Inner Harbor and Penn Station balances out the less-than-ideal neighborhood. For those who value service and convenience, it seems a solid choice.”
