We had a fantastic stay at the Four Seasons. Staff and service were exceptional. Our room was…read moregreat. It overlooked the harbor, so the view was lovely. Rooms are well-appointed and spacious. Bed was very comfortable and the bathroom was perfect. There was a crayon on the floor, which gave me pause on the cleanliness, though other than that, the room seemed very clean. There is plenty of storage, but I can always appreciate more hooks. We utilized the spa, which was awesome, and appreciated the in-room dining. Our in-room dining server was extremely friendly and funny, which was nice, though our breakfast order was extremely delayed. At least it was good, which is more than I can say for the hotel's other offerings. The hotel restaurants, while elegant with fairly good service, provided food and libations that were mid, if I'm being generous. This was a celebratory stay, and nothing ruins that more than inferior food, which we experienced. Valets were friendly and funny, though they forgot to extend our parking, so we ended up with a ticket (which was adjudicated, but still, not something you expect from the Four Seasons). Overall, I do think this is an excellent hotel and I am definitely looking forward to returning, though I will absolutely be dining and drinking elsewhere.

A dull menu is a disappointment, but an undercooked entree is a safety hazard. During our visit, a…read morebasic chicken dish arrived at our table visually underdone and noticeably pink near the bone--a fundamental kitchen error that instantly shatters any illusion of five-star luxury. It is one thing for a luxury menu to be safe and uninspired; it is another entirely when the kitchen completely fails to execute the basics. From uneven cooking temperatures to a general lack of seasoning discipline, the line feels entirely unmonitored. At a property of this tier, diners expect precision. Instead, the plates suggest a kitchen completely on autopilot, mailing in basic preparations that would be unacceptable at a standard neighborhood pub, let alone a five-star harbor terrace. The glaring gap here isn't just the lack of a 'wow' factor--it's the absence of foundational execution. When a premium-priced kitchen stumbles on simple techniques, the luxury facade completely crumbles. For a high-tier property like the Four Seasons Hotel Baltimore, missing the mark on foundational kitchen skills is the ultimate sin. The marketing promises an ultra-luxury experience--such as Chef Mackenson Horebe's Summer Cookout Dinner Series--but if basic line-cook items are being botched, the kitchen is simply coasting on the hotel's five-star reputation. While a boring menu is disappointing, an unsafe plate is unacceptable. It proves that the kitchen lacks basic supervision or expediting discipline. A chef actively managing their kitchen does not let raw poultry pass the pass. At these steep price points, you are paying for absolute culinary precision. Instead, the kitchen line seem to be operating with zero oversight. Sending out undercooked poultry isn't just a sign of a kitchen mailing it in; it's a failure of basic execution that should never occur in a premium establishment, let alone a global luxury brand. The glaring gap between the property's glamorous marketing and its actual execution became painfully obvious when a companion's chicken dish arrived dangerously undercooked. It turns out the menu isn't just 'vanilla'--the kitchen staff can't even be bothered to execute the absolute basics of safe temperature control. A luxury dining room should never operate on autopilot. From the uninspired flavor profiles to catastrophic technical errors like undercooked chicken, the hotel's culinary team is coasting entirely on the brand's name. Save your money and explore Baltimore's actual, vibrant food scene elsewhere--this one is a passive, corporate disappointment.

One of our party is allergic to cats, and had no significant trouble from cat dander. (However, pollen was plentiful in the region, so be aware of environmental problems.) My favorite part of the inn was the screened back porch, providing sunshine, fresh air, and plenty of bird watching opportunities with three separate feeders around the porch. So peaceful and pleasant! I highly recommend The Wilderness.

We were lucky enough to spend a weekend here with Sha-Ree as our host, and WOW -- she absolutely…read moreexceeded every expectation. From the moment we booked, she went above and beyond to make sure every detail was taken care of, anticipating our needs before we even had to ask. Her communication was exceptional, and she checked in throughout our stay with the perfect balance of attentiveness and warmth, making us feel genuinely welcomed and cared for. What truly sets Sha-Ree apart is her incredible gift for hospitality. She didn't just make sure our trip went smoothly -- she made it memorable. Her kindness, thoughtfulness, and enthusiasm elevated the entire experience and made us feel like valued guests rather than just visitors. As an added bonus, she gave us fantastic book recommendations, so fellow readers should absolutely seek her out! If every host were like Sha-Ree, travel would be a completely different experience. We can't say enough wonderful things about her and would return in a heartbeat. Moving on to the rest of the wonderful people we encountered during our stay! The bellhop, Andre, was friendly and welcoming. Claudiane got us checked in and situated with player cards efficiently. We met Rafaela on the floor and she must have recognized us as newcomers because she also came over to welcome us. Jeremiah was our server for brunch and went out of his way to make sure my husband (who is incredibly picky about coffee for someone who drinks Dunkin) had all of the accoutrements he needed. I also stopped by the spa while we were there, and had a truly incredible massage from Amaya. Last but not least, the bartenders, Ikeola and Merrill. They were both patient in running through all of the IPAs available, and Merrill was absolutely hilarious. Food time! The first night we got a bit caught up in gambling, so just grabbed food from the Orchid Kitchen. We had a slice of the meat lovers pizza, cheese pizza, a double smash burger, and their chicken tenders. The pizza slices were massive and the crust had a delicious garlic butter seasoning of some sort. The smash burger came with all of the right toppings, and the sauce really pulled it all together. If I could eat those chicken tenders every day, I could die happy. (It might be a premature death due to clogged arteries, but it would be worth it). We went to brunch at David's the next day and ordered the crab cake Benedict and avocado toast. As someone who eats avocado toast more than I care to admit, I have to say this was the best I'd ever had. The pesto added a wonderful element and really amped up the flavor profile. The crab cake was seasoned beautifully. It didn't overwhelm the delicate crab flavor, and the hollandaise had a perfect balance of richness and flavor. Lunch was the birria quesadilla at the FanDuel Sportsbook, and it was loaded with meat. It didn't have quite the punch of flavor I would expect from birria, but I was still pleased. Moving on to the pièce de résistance - dinner at The Prime Rib. Their bread basket (and butter) puts all other bread baskets to shame. A delectable variety of bread, rolls, and soft pretzel sticks. For dinner we ordered the seafood tower, and it was so good I immediately texted everyone I know about it. The mignonette provided a delicious pucker punch, and there was a regular cocktail sauce and horseradish one for a bit of a kick. The seafood itself (lobster, shrimp, crab, oysters, and clams) was flawless. Tender, flavorful, perfectly chilled...I'm drooling just thinking about it again. All in all, this was the best hotel I've ever stayed at. Between the staff, food, ambiance, cleanliness, amenities, and amazing casino, you will not find a better spot to spend a day...or week...or even a month, depending on how good you are at gambling. Truly an incredible experience and I can't wait to return!

Completely dropped it or purposefully put it in his pocket. The situation should have been solved quickly but the man continued to just scan everyone else in line (even after acknowledging he lost the ID). After a minute or two of him making no effort, I tried to explain to him that this was a major problem. We were traveling from out of state and losing my husband's ID was an emergency that should have been taken seriously. I was told multiple times to "calm down" and how he "could find it in 2 seconds" - like, okay? Then find it in 2 seconds! I had to get multiple other employees involved to help look. The security guy who lost his ID continued making jokes about the situation, downplaying the severity, and telling me to calm down. 5-10 minutes later (at this point multiple employees are looking for the ID), the security guy pulls it out of his pocket. I have no idea if it was an accident or if this man attempted to steal my husband's drivers license for some reason. We were so stressed in this situation. Completely ruined the vibes of the night and our trust in the casino. If you can't trust the security at a casino entrance to handle things professionally, why go? Seemed super shady and I do not appreciate this man telling me to calm down as a paying customer when he failed to do an extremely simple job of scanning an ID and giving it back. We did not stick around after this experience.

The website states that there are terf play areas. That is simply not true - none of it. We recently used Happy Tails as a last minute place (our usual dog sitter had to cancel last minute). The communication was not great at all. There was miscommunication about what updates I should be getting (we ended up with 3 over a 10 day stay). I called at least 3 times and it went to voicemail. I left messages and nobody called me back. I only got updates when I called and asked for them. I talked to 3 different people and got 3 different answers as to what kind of updates I should be getting. The only updates we ever got were 2/3 pictures on a "report card". Nothing about her well being or demeanor. When I picked her up she was FILTHY (it would've been another $50 - $70 to get a bath upon pick up). The amount of dirt I washed off of her was disgusting. She had open sores on ALL of her legs from what I assume were pressure sores from laying on the hard cots (not the orthopedic dog beds as the manager states). One of the sores was actively bleeding. A few of her toenails were split. When I questioned what happened they seemed shocked and took pictures and told me they would investigate and call me back by the end of the day.... 3 days later, still waiting to hear. She was exhausted....like wouldn't even open her eyes (and she's a 2.5 year old ACTIVE dog). I understand that its stressful and can be tiring, but she slept from noon until the next morning. For what we paid for our 10 day stay (super expensive) compared to the treatment we received we will never return to this place. I would never recommend this place to anyone. Ever. We will be going another place next time we need someone to take care of our furry family member.

I called their agent in Baltimore, and he answered immediately. Mine was a last minute booking (2 hrs before arrival). I asked them if they could do any better on the price and they were able to knock 200$ off the Air B&B listed price. I met with their local contact Dominick, who was friendly and receptive. He gave me the keys and after a quick review of the boats systems he was on his way. Our boat featured a queen sized bed that was super comfortable. It also featured central air, and a nicely equipped kitchen. There were a total of 4 boats available for rent- in varying levels of luxury and size. The boat was clean, and the location was nice. Because of where the harbor is situated there were not very many waves at all. The only downside to the whole experience was the 175$ cleaning fee that is automatically assessed after each stay. Overall, not a killer deal by any means, but definitely a cool-unique experience.

I make it a point to stay once every summer to enjoy the pool as that is the highlight in my opinion. The rooms are gorgeous and comfortable. I will say, this last stay seemed to be different than years past. You can tell the new ownership is strict. You need to carry your key card at all times, even to access the bathroom at the pool. I understand making sure this is a guests only property, especially considering issues I have encountered in years past, but it's excessive. The drinks at the pool bar all seem to be watered down and extremely small.. for $17-$20 a piece it's unacceptable. Staff are friendly but the front desk never seem to have an idea of what is going on half of the time. Some requests need to be asked multiple times which can be extremely frustrating for the money you pay. However, the one thing I have noticed with the new ownership is all of the fun offerings which we really enjoyed, specifically the sail boat ride and the Crab social. All in all, Pendry management has some kinks to work out, but this hotel will always hold a special place in my heart.
