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.

We highly recommend Hotel Revival,...

Liked: We loved the experience! The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming. The hotel itself was a total vibe.
Disliked: The mattress on our bed wasn’t the most comfortable. Not terrible, but also, not great.

Ok, but not again

Liked: The hotel’s and the room’s decoration and overall atmosphere fascinated us. The room was very clean and nicely decorated. Really comfy bed, a nice tv, tea and coffee, cute wallpapers and pictures on the walls; loved everything about the inner environment.
Disliked: Two things that bothers us as two tourist girls are; the staff not especially friendly or helpful, we almost felt that we are not welcome. And the other thing is the location isn’t close to the harbour and tourist area. You need to walk 20-30 minutes and public transportation options are limited. Also the hotel’s valet parking price is 49$ for 4+ hours and it’s crazy expensive. They didn’t want to help us about other public parking options; and the weather was very bad and rainy so we troubled about parking a lot. And they charge you 100$/per day deposit, keep in mind before you booked.

If we ever need to...

Liked: Easy check-in, and the photos on Booking.com were exactly as it looked in the hotel/our room. We stayed in a King Size room and the bed was super comfortable, and the room was so spacious. For extra safety, you had to scan your room key to access higher floors in the elevator which always makes me feel more secure. Staff was super friendly as well!
Disliked: The 'Dashery (breakfast/brunch place) had great food, but I would say a bit pricy for just being a cafe/restaurant in a hotel.
