    After refusing to share the direct door camera footage, this is what the site shared with us online.

    After being gone from our hotel room all day (08/20/2022), we returned to find 2 credit cards and a phone were stolen from the room. When we asked management to review the Ring doorbell footage, they said on site management claimed no one entered the room even though there were over $800 worth of charges on the stolen cards before we left Baltimore. The issue was never resolved and even though the police were involved we couldn't press any charges because the value of what was stolen would have required and on site investigation.

    Found this hotel on Airbnb for a two day stay in MD. The total for two nights was around $405. The hotel was alright. We were excited because it looked historic and cute and was a good location. However, the elevator talked a million years, you can hear the people around you, the tv didn't connect to WiFi and anyone could get in the front door. There also was only six parking spots right outside the building. The room was a decent size and the bathroom was large and stocked with toiletries. Not a far ride or Uber to the harbor or hippodrome.

    My boyfriend and I stayed here for our one night visit, and had a great time. We absolutely loved the big open windows! Granted there was not much of a view besides the gay bar across the street, but it gave us plenty of natural light during the day. Front desk is friendly and offers sound advice on where to explore. The location is sort of away from all the chaos of inner harbor which wasn't bad for us either. It is only a mile away. You can access the free trolley from here to take you down to inner harbor too. That is only a couple of blocks away for you to hop on if you choose not to drive. Hotel Brexton has only 29 rooms. I don't know if you would really consider this a boutique hotel even though it is not part of a chain. I would think it has its own little identity. It is not super upscale, but it is not low quality by any means. It is a simple place. The rooms are designed with a modern touch in a restored historical building. I think my biggest complaint was the noise level. You can't here anyone in the building itself, but conversation outside can be heard clear as day. I think it was primarily because of where our window was situation as previously mentioned and being on the 3rd floor. Though I should point out that noise we did here was only brief and it didn't last long. Otherwise, it was very quiet and relaxing. Price is reasonable. You can get some deals if you look on some the exterior hotel booking websites versus booking direct. Just be warned though if you do book from a third party, you won't be able to refund your money like you could if you did book directly with the hotel. Rates may be different though with one compared to the other per usual. Breakfast consists of bagels, select cereals, and fruit served from 7am-10am daily, respectively. Nothing hot. Breakfast is found on the bottom floor with a small kitchen area. You win some you lose some. Here is a total win if you like something unique and different.

    This is a very nice and dainty hotel! It was built in 1810, but remodeled in 2010 from the interior. My husband and I loved the look of it, although the restroom is too damn cold to shower in this time of year lol! It seems like there is cold air going into the restroom area instead of warm. We loved the convenience of the location. About two miles from the harbor ($5-8 lyft cost) and another two miles to own station The bed was also tiny! It did not look like a queen size, more like a full size mattress. My husband is 6'1" and I am 5'6", so we were quite uncomfortable, but we made it work. If we were to come back to Baltimore, we would definitely stay at the hotel again, but request a king size bed. Staff was amazing and extremely nice! Also, complimentary continental breakfast :)

    Cute on the outside, but not comfortable on the inside.

    It's a historic hotel and it looks lovely on the outside. However, it is too small for me to be able to like it. The elevator could barely fit two people. The halls are narrow. The bathroom is so small you cannot turn around in it. A person with disabilities or an older person with mobility problems would hate this place. I don't think a wheelchair can fit into the elevator and there are lots of stairs everywhere. I think the limit of space made the updating of the inside challenging. The room had a noisy A/C unit located above the door to the hallway. Closets are not in the wall but cabinets that take up space in the room that I would have appreciated having. The bed was comfortable and my room was quiet. Parking is a challenge. Another resident was complaining bitterly to me. I paid $25 for one of two slots on the side street, which was very odd and very cramped. The street is tough to find at night. Lots of hidden fees and nothing is given away for free.

    My husband and I stayed here for one night only and really enjoyed it. Hotel Brexton is a beautiful and historical on the outside and modern on the inside. It's a really small hotel with only 29 rooms. We were in a king room. Room is spacious and so is the bathroom. There is a coffee maker, but no fridge or microwave (there is a microwave in the basement). Everything was clean, we felt really comfortable. We paid 91$ for a king room in January, breakfast included. They put a 50$ hold on the credit card. We got it back in a week, but didn't like that. I read that some people paid for the wifi, but they gave us the password with no extra charge. There is a free parking in front of the hotel, but it's limited. The breakfast is served in the basement area. Bagels, cereals, yogurt, some fruits, basic stuff. There is a coffee machine available at all times. Cappuccino, espresso, french vanilla, hot chocolate... A lot of options, all the good stuff. Overall, we were happy with our stay in Hotel Brexton, would definitely recommend.

    What a beautiful and relaxing stay. My husband and I came here for a nice Valentines Day getaway and I am so happy that we did. Check in: the process was so smooth and the staff was more than willing to share information. Rooms: Perfect size with a mini refrigerator and all the amenities. They even had a spa like bathroom room with the best smelling shampoos and body wash. Breakfast: They had a nice kitchen that offered bagels, fruit, cereal, and a variety of coffee. They even had a free washer and dryer for guest to use which is an added bonus. I would highly recommend this wonderful hotel and can't wait to visit again soon! Thank you!

    Limited breakfast bar.

    Very disappointing Hotel. No night lighting to help you find the hotel. Very limited on street parking. watermarked furniture and peeling walls leave much to be desired. The architecture itself is very intriguing but the hotel is a disappointment. The breakfast bar was mini cupcakes and cereal and bagels. a loose runner in the hall nearly caused a fall. The smallest elevator ever. Musty smell in the room. Steep stairs to the front door that you have to be buzzed in to day or night.

He was engaging, charismatic, and clearly knew the property and its history inside and out. That kind of welcome makes a difference. We were in Suite 18, which sits in a separate tower connected to the spa. The room itself was well appointed. You can tell nothing in there was inexpensive, and everything was fresh and well maintained, no wear, no chipped paint, nothing neglected. If I'm being honest, some of styling is starting to feel a touch dated in places, but that's a matter of taste more than quality. One note, and to be totally fair it was an unbelievably hot day: when we returned from dinner the room was in the mid to high 70s, and it took about an hour and a half to cool down. The staff explained we needed to lower the thermostat in 2-degree increments rather than setting it straight to our target, and they were right, it worked. Still, that's a bit of a workaround at this price point. A lovely property with genuinely gracious service. We'd stay again.

We were assigned a room on the same floor as the lobby, just past the fitness center. From the outside it was as if we were on the second floor. Our single bed was quite wide, the ceiling above the bed was very high, but the bathroom was small, had no spare toilet paper, and only two hooks to hang anything, which made it tough to hang clean clothing and towels to dry for two guests who do not share towels. Speaking of which, towels provided were limited, so when I found a stain on my bath towel and requested a fresh one, they brought me a whole set. After our time here I saw a video by theholdernessfamily mentioning hotel bathrooms with barn doors that don't close tightly. I didn't realize that was a thing. But it proved true here! Also clear glass shower doors which make it impossible to share the bathroom with a gal pal while someone is showering. Our across the hall neighbor was loud.

The hotel is impressive in its scale, but more importantly, it is clean and well maintained. Sometimes, various Marriotts, Hiltons, and other chains can let their flagship property in a city become dated and dusty, knowing that people will stay there regardless for various events. Not here - everything was polished and elegant. Our hotel room was spacious, with comfortable beds and perhaps some of the best views we've had in years. On the 12th floor, our view happened to include what seemed like all of Baltimore proper, including its waterfront. Better yet, there was a couch placed near the window, so you could have a scenic view as you curl up with a book!

I should have known to lower my expectations and suspect something was awry when I noticed the wilted flowers in the foyer. Apparently, the flowers are refreshed on Thursdays, so I just arrived on the wrong day. But there should never be a wrong day to arrive at the Four Seasons! The air in the hotel lobby was hot and stagnant; I was expecting a cool and aromatic experience upon entry, similar to the Intercontinental or the Sonesta. I tried to ignore the decaying flowers because I was greeted warmly by the doormen and the front desk. I was surprised that I had to ask for slippers as I presumed those, mouthwash, and other toiletries would already be in the room. None of those items were in my room. Shockingly, the robe in my room was dirty! Housekeeping apologized and replaced it within 15 minutes. I was also surprised by how rough the towels were as I am used to Frette and linens of that ilk. This is also supposed to be a resort & spa hotel but it did not feel that way at all. I was also surprised by the brand of soaps and hair products they use here: they smelled like clay. The lotion left a gritty feel on the skin. The products were French (called Codage): Je n'aime pas ça. I went to the gym and was surprised they did not have bar pads for the barbells. If the Portland Harbor Hotel can offer pads for the gym equipment, the Four Seasons can too! In fact, I'm surprised they did not have weightlifting gloves. I was happy to see the orange-infused water and the scented & pre-moistened cold compress clothes. That was nice. The pool was closed for the season, so I could not do that. There was a complimentary sound bath session that I could not partake in since I did not order my room directly with the hotel. I'm not that thirsty for a sound bath but I was hoping to take a regular bath; the hotel does not offer bubble bath. The Portland Harbor Hotel does! I decided to take a shower instead but the faucets are not property calibrated: the hot water is cold & the cold water is hot. Then I tried to rest but I kept hearing doors slam at night and more slamming in the morning. I just assumed it was other guests (since there was a convention this week), but when I went to check-out, I noticed the hotel staff slam a door to a room that only hotel staff have access to near the elevators, you can hear the slams at each end of the hotel corridor. This hotel needs to invest in sound mitigation. I was really hoping for a far better stay as I was contemplating a work retreat here. This was my first experience at a Four Seasons property and it was shockingly disappointing. Baltimore deserves better. This felt more like 2 & half Seasons.

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.
