A Baltimore gem

This was our second stay at Ulysses. We love everything about it - location, always lovely staff, excellent food and beverage, and design unlike any other hotel we’ve experienced. It’s a true gem.

It was a very short stay. However the staff was amazing, and the hotel was absolutely beautiful. Probably was the best sleep I've ever had at a hotel!

William Scott

Disliked: Staff & service

Better in theory than execution

Pros : Interesting decor and the bar sometimes has live music Cons : Hotel advertises valet parking on website and also has a sign at the front for "valet parking". Upon entering, was told that they don't offer valet parking and never have. The actual parking lot is in a bad area and you have to go onto a website to pay for it, then walk back hoping your car is safe for the night. The lot also had a sign advertising for a different parking website by scanning the QR code on it ... Got back to the hotel and was told DON'T USE THAT ONE, WE DON'T KNOW WHERE IT CAME FROM!! So there's a possible scam that you know about and don't do anything about??? The restaurant literally just has 5-6 things on the menu. And two of them are just a Cheese Plate and a Meat Plate that includes pre-packaged sliced sandwich ham. There was also some crab dip that was obviously bought frozen and then just popped in the oven for 15 minutes. This is not a restaurant. I'm pretty sure the "kitchen" just consists of a freezer and microwave/oven There is a strong perfumey smell EVERYWHERE. Even their soap, shampoo etc smell like it. I actually shudder when I think about it. So... I like the decor and the idea of the hotel, but execution needs some MAJOR work. Not a good experience.

Beautifully restored and lovely historic boutique hotel. Great service all around: front desk, Ash Bar as well as Bloom's! Only improvement would be to add in room coffee/tea service set.
