Hotel Revival Baltimore

Not my favorite hotel. I love classic old hotels, but this one did not impress. Had trouble getting in, no valet to meet us, no covered entrance, pouring rain (not the hotel’s fault, of course) - had to run down to valet. Our room was okay, but temperature wasn’t adjustable. No ice machine, had to call the front desk, someone brought a plastic bag with ice and dropped it on the floor outside our room. (Handing it to me with a smile would have been much better). We were concerned about the area around the hotel, so never walked anywhere, instead called Uber. The lobby was dated, dark, low ceilinged and depressing. The grab and go cafe didn't even have coffee available until 7:00 am, so we headed out to an early appointment without coffee. The 'Speakeasy' bar didn’t open until 7:00 pm, so went up to the rooftop bar for appetizers and drinks, which were expensive, but the view was nice. After the concert, we wanted to have a nightcap in the 'Speakeasy' bar, it was fairly early but bartender allowed us one drink because he’d already made Last Call and was preoccupied with cleaning up and preparing to close. Overall, not really the cool old hotel vibe I was hoping for, more like dark, dated, not great service, crappy entrance with no cover, and sketchy neighborhood. We loved the show we went to, but will pick a different hotel next time.

Liked: The city view was nice, we were on the 10th floor.
Disliked: No covered entrance; dated low ceiling-ed lobby; hard to find your way around to the bar and restaurant. Coffee not available until 7:00; we had an early appointment, so didn’t get coffee.

My truck was turned over to the valet and within hours, the window had been smashed and items stolen. Found out today from hotel insurance that they won't cover the cost, so going on my insurance and coming out of pocket for deductible.

Liked: Rooftop Restaurant.
Disliked: Truck was vandalized in their 'secure' parking garage.

Overall, decent day I definitely...

Liked: The property was a good centralized location for all of the places that I needed to visit in Baltimore and surrounding areas. Also having a mini bar was a plus, but no microwave was a bummer for me.
Disliked: I received double charge and it’s turning into lengthy process to be refunded

Exceptional

Liked: Great weekend brunch.

Very good

Really enjoyed our hotel here,...

Liked: Really enjoyed the location in Mt. Vernon, by the Washington Monument. Very attractive neighborhood with grand houses. Close enough to walk to the Inner Harbor, but also a nice walkable stretch into Belvedere. Very good hotel restaurant with amazing ambiance. Beds are comfortable, room furnishings are generally high quality. Friendly staff. The gallery art is a really nice touch.
Disliked: Carpeting is fairly worn, especially in the hallways. Older building so the hotel can be noisy. The room lighting is a little weird (minor nit pick). Separated from inner harbor by downtown so walking between the two can be sketchy in areas.
