Located just two blocks from the scenic Inner Harbor and right next to the Baltimore Convention Center, this all-suite hotel offers easy access to the city's top music venues, restaurants, and attractions. With spacious rooms, many featuring kitchenettes, and a cozy-yet-urban vibe, it's a great home base for music lovers visiting Baltimore.

Why Concert-goers love it

You’ll be within walking distance to major concert venues and the bustling Inner Harbor scene, making it easy to catch a show and stroll back safely. The hotel’s central location means you have plenty of late-night transport options, including ride shares and light rail. With a 4pm check-in and 12pm check-out, there’s enough flexibility for pre-show prep and post-show recovery. Rooms are surprisingly quiet for downtown, especially upper floors.

The on-site Urban Roost Sports Bar & Grill serves classic American fare for lunch and dinner, with happy hour specials Monday through Friday—perfect for a pre-show bite or post-show nightcap. Room service is available, and many rooms come equipped with kitchenettes if you want to keep snacks or cook late. Breakfast is available in the morning—ideal after a late night!

Nightlife Options

While the hotel itself doesn’t host live music, you’re just minutes from Baltimore’s thriving nightlife, including bars and clubs near the harbor. Urban Roost offers a sports bar vibe with local brews, and plenty of lounges and cocktail bars are within walking distance.

Areas for Improvement

I will never come back...

Liked: It’s right within downtown
Disliked: The building is old. The carpet is filthy. There was a terrible stinky smells coming from the kitchen sink. I requested to have it cleaned but nothing happened.The coffee was bad, same breakfast everyday, and nothing special about breakfast. We need to pay daily for parking. The surrounding of the building feels unsafeThis is another Marriot hotel that’s very disappointing.Receptionist are not nice, lack of good costumer service, they are not welcoming at all.

Affordable, spacious and clean. An...

Liked: Wasn’t expecting much at all from the place, just a place near the harbour that was clean and affordable.
Disliked: Only minor issue was plastic cutlery and paper plates at breakfast. Other than that I couldn’t fault the place

Wishing for Another Night

Liked: Location is perfect. I was attending a concert at the CFG Arena and the hotel is a 5 minute walk. It was easy to pull into the valet area and leave my car until check out, and check in was very simple. My room was great: full kitchen, couch and table, with a private bathroom and king bed. Breakfast selection was great. I grabbed a sandwich, yogurt, and bagel but many people were making waffles and enjoying pastries and quiche. I went down to the buffet around 6:30/7 to beat the rush and the area was relatively empty. It was easy to use the online link to request my car and check out was simple. Staff was very friendly and greeted me every time they saw me.
Disliked: The $150 security deposit didn’t bother me, but I wish it had been communicated ahead of time. When I arrived, it took about 20 minutes for the valet to assist me because he was the only one working and there was a line of 5-6 people waiting.

Superb

Liked: Location was perfect for a quick walk over to CFG Bank Arena (our destination!) and of course the harbor if that’s what you may go for. I really appreciate that Residence Inns are generally a little cheaper than nearby similar hotels but come with more amenities in room! The room was a little smaller than other RI’s I’ve stayed in, but considering this is a city center I didn’t have a problem with it. Staff was super friendly and helpful - just keep in mind that parking is a separate fee from the hotel and not discounted for residents ($45/day).
Disliked: My only complaints are that the load in area is incredibly small and valet parking only, meaning getting your car back is about 10-20 minutes wait. The shower door also sounded like boulders falling from the ceiling when you go to slide it, which was a bit annoying but not a big deal. RI’s stovetops are also not amazing, but convenient enough.
