Bring your own dishware... - Comfortable phone booths - Friendly staff I was in town for a show at Rams Head Live and wanted to get to Baltimore early in the day to avoid any traffic problems. Thankfully, Spark Baltimore seemed like the perfect spot since it is right next door to the venue, so I could work all day without having to worry about getting to the venue! Spark Baltimore has some awesome amenities for $15 a day. You can work anywhere you like across the 2 floors, have unlimited cold brew coffee (which is uh-mazing), can book a phone booth, and get pretty fast wi-fi. While I was there, I was able to take advantage of most of the amenities that the space had to offer. The phone booths (while being located two floors down from the main floor), were comfortable. USB and AC outlets were provided and the light was great for long video or phone calls. The kitchen is pretty nice as well. Both the first and 2nd floors have kitchens. I mostly hung out in the third-floor kitchen, which has the cold brew on tap and some alcohol for members of Spark. The only letdown I experienced with the kitchen was the lack of dishware. If you're planning on bringing your lunch here, just make sure that you bring a microwave-safe dish and utensils. For cups and things that they do have, there is a dishwasher if you prefer to use that. All-in-all, this was such a win! As an added bonus, I was able to hear the bands that I was going to see during their soundcheck from inside the building. That's just super unique and cool!

The space was relatively easy to find, although a direct entrance from the main lobby would be nice. The guy at check in was friendly and the conference room was comfortable, both in terms of temperature and chairs. You basically have to go through a maze to find the restroom, but it is clearly labeled. A pretty good co-working space, and probably the only one of its kind in this area.

Impact Hub is a great co-working space / social innovation lab. Their offices and meeting rooms are…read morebright and airy, and the community spaces are perfect for dropping in to do some work. In addition to more permanent membership and office rental packages, you can just stop in for a full or half day to get some work done (and the coffee is unlimited!!). There's always cool new people to meet and share ideas with, or an interesting event to attend, especially in the evening - whether it's yoga, an art show, or a community meeting. My organization has been holding our monthly board meetings at Impact Hub for over a year, and we love the space.

We had a wonderful experience at The Canopy Hilton in Baltimore, Maryland. Our son stayed there for…read moretwo weeks for an internship. We stayed a few days as well. We especially loved the bellman, Jacob. He not only helped us with two weeks of luggage and parking our car, but he became a face we looked for every day. His smile greeted us at all times of day. He offered us water, great conversation and assured us our son would be safe during his time spent at the hotel. We truly had a amazing experience. We highly recommend this hotel. The entire staff was just perfect. Thank you so much for making our son feel at home. We are forever grateful! - A thankful family for North Carolina

We even bumped into live music when we returned from dinner. The rooms were clean and updated.

The hotel was above average and we had a comfortable stay.

My girlfriend and I stopped in on a Sunday morning, and while it was understandably very busy, we were still able to find a seat. The atmosphere is definitely the highlight -- it has a warm, inviting feel that makes it a great spot to relax, grab a bite, and enjoy a slow morning. The bagel sandwiches were so-so, and unfortunately the bagels themselves were a little underwhelming. For the price, we expected a bit more. The coffee was also a miss for us; it was very watery, and we ended up grabbing another coffee from a nearby shop afterward. Overall, Mindpub is a great place if you're looking for a cozy atmosphere, a baked good, or a casual sandwich in a charming setting. The space and vibe are excellent, but the food and coffee left a little to be desired.

Eclectic spot in Fed Hill offering unique bagel sandwiches and coffee drinks…read more Came here on a Saturday for brunch with a friend and was highly impressed! Even though it was a Saturday we were able to find a spot to sit, and the decor was really fun. There's upstairs seating that seemed a little quieter too. I ordered the Darwin on an Asiago bagel. I wish there was more Brie cheese on it, but it was really good overall. The apple jam was a nice sweet touch. My bagel also came with a side of fruit and a hash brown. The hash brown was a little undercooked for me though. I also got a coco cocoa cold brew, which was a chocolate cold brew with coconut cold foam. It had coconut flakes on it so I had to chew each time I took a sip, and I didn't really taste any chocolate. The cold brew itself was good though, bold and not grainy at all. It was a little loud in the cafe due to all the people, but I had a great time anyway. I'll definitely be back if I need a cute brunch spot or a coffee pick-me-up!

We came with big expectations to the IatBO due to favorable review on TA. It is well located and…read morethe staff really go out of their way to accommodate you. The rooms (at least ours) was HUGE, probably almost 1000 sqft, with a large BR, LR, kitchenette, and bath, There are problems, however. The highly touted geothermal heating, really didn't work that well, with blowing cold air, and the hot water never was that hot or plentiful. The fancy net-based house phone didn't work either, nor did the coffee maker. Although located on a quiet street, it is opposite a construction site that it quite noisy, and the street does get a surprising amount of traffic. The staff, though helpful, are a bit too "laid back" for my taste, just seem like some "slouchers" hanging around the front desk more than service professionals. For my money, I'll stay next time at a big chain and leave the autoclaved gypsum walls, hypoallergenic concrete floors, organically grown linens, and geothermal heating for someone else to enjoy.

I stayed here on new years day for one night. The hotel is very nice and as soon as you check in…read morethe aroma from the organic establishment inside beside the desk is extraordinary!! Omg it's like wow I just ate but all of a sudden I'm hungry :)..our room was spacious and very cozy. They have a nice size jacuzzi in the bathroom area and they also give you a complimentary bottle of wine. Be sure to ask for it as we did when we checked in. The only reason i can't give this hotel 5 stars is because i could not get with the fact that they didn't have a microwave in the room. They had a frig but that was it. Maybe it's just me but if i had to stay there more than one night i would have preferred to have one. The organic very very healthy breakfast was super delicious. I enjoyed every bite.. also kudos to the comfortable bed. Overall it was a great stay :) And definitely nicer for couples..

I was thankful for the nearby street parking as well as the noted parking in the back. They have many steps to get to the party I was attending but it was worth it. We were on the very top floor and it was gorgeous! It was very spacious, had a private bar area, private clean bathroom, at least 2 rooms and other amenities. I noticed a photo set up for those who enjoy the photo backdrop fun pics (hand raised). There were 2 backdrops to pick from and social distancing was enforced. The photographer has on a shirt w venue name on it so I assumed she was affiliated. I look forward to attending more events here and would definitely consider for hosting an event !!

Parking in the area is a bit challenging though.

The space itself has a lot of different options for work, hot desks, couches, tables. The Community Manager, Kealea, is so friendly and welcoming. I can't say enough good things. I'll definitely be back if I'm back in the City.

Mount Vernon hotel with a luxurious, vintage, boutique vibe, with several in-house bars and…read morerestaurants. Booked 2 rooms for myself and my family for a birthday. The king suite was amazing, but the queen suite I booked was a bit falsely advertised. I was expecting a pink themed room (for the birthday girl), but it was yellow instead, not like the pictures online. Minor detail, but I was a bit disappointed. Another small detail I noticed was the quilt detailing was peeling, but underneath was different colored fabric. I'm not sure if the ripping quilts was intentional or not, but it put me off a bit. Other than that, the decor was fabulous. I loved the checkered tiled bathrooms, the leopard print carpet, and canopied beds. For one night, both rooms ran me about $500. Not bad for a luxury hotel, but not cheap either. Check in was seamless, the rooms were clean, and we enjoyed going to the bars inside the hotel including the Ash Bar, Blooms, and Coral Wig. They have very different vibes, but all were top tier. Would stay here again!

The biggest complaint about this hotel is the location, which is part of the hotel experience. It's…read morein a rough neighborhood. In my 3 days experience walking around Baltimore and surrounding areas of the hotel, it is pretty bad. There are people on the streets clearly on drugs and the Marijuana smell alone lingers on me after i walk pass them. Alot of homeless people, people boldly asking for money, people of certain variety gathering on the streets making it intimidating to walk by. So, to say the least, the location of the hotel is terrible unless the city cleans up the streets and straighten out the community. Inside the hotel, people were helpful and nice. Everywhere inside is too dark. It might be on purpose but it give creepy vibes or didn't pay electric bills vibe. The intended vibe is supposed to be very baltimore and i can see why. The room is clean and nice. Still dark. The bed is soft and comfortable. Outlets are a complaint for me. I had to move take and chair to the corner of the room to plug in. Bathroom is clean as far as I can tell. My only complaint in the bathroom is when showering, occasionally the water unexpectedly becomes scorching hot. Maybe someone flushed on the other room but I got temporary burn right in the face so be careful. The ash bar was the only food spot inside the hotel. Dinner was alright but I'd pass on breakfast here. Overall, it is a decent hotel in a bad neighborhood. I wouldn't come back mainly because of the neighborhood. Baltimore is just overall in rough shape.
