    Dated hotel with a great vibe thanks to the location and great staff!! First time here and I was glad I chose this hotel to stay in while I was up here with my buddy who was having surgery at John's Hopkins Hospital. We both stayed the first night then I stayed for an additional three nights while he was still in the hospital. Rooms clean and comfy, good Internet, refrigerator microwave and Keurig coffee maker in the room. My view was of the courtyard on the 8th floor which is just like a park it's really nice.. I took some great pictures from that level. Food was great at the restaurant/bar.. have a strawberry Hennessy.. it will change your life. All staff I came in contact with were very personable and customer oriented. I will be back with the wife next time..

    Do I recommend this Hilton location? NO. Let's talk about why (FYI-this is a long review). Arrival to the hotel was interesting. I noticed there was a gentleman with a roll of carpet blocking a portion of the hotel entryway. I thought this was interesting off the bat. I later found out that the ground level of the hotel was receiving a full carpet installation, which made for interesting instructions on how to get to our rooms. The valet attendant was pleasant and helpful. The check in process seemed to go smoothly, but there is more to this short stay. Upon entry to my room, I immediately noticed that my room was near a door that had a no re-entry sign on it. I did not care for the location of my room. The room was overall clean. I did notice that the wallpaper is peeling like fruit roll ups, there was a red stain on the headboard, and the pillows were different sizes and probably couldn't hold an egg up (two of the pillows were standard sized and the two on the bottom were the size of an airplane pillow. It was strategic how the pillows were placed-see pics). The decor was a bit mismatch (different lamps, etc) if you are someone that focuses on those things. I was locked out of my room within the first hour of my stay. This is where I went into What would Olivia Benson do? mode. Dun-Dun. One of my teammates had already had maintenance walk into her room and another one was locked out of her room as well. I went back downstairs, got a new key, and returned to the room. I found that the Do Not Disturb sign that I left on the handle of the door was now in front of the bathroom. Dun-Dun. My team assembled to discuss what had been going on since check in. Another teammate asked to have her sheets changed due to that stains (that never happened) and another was brought an Ethernet cord (you read that correctly) because she was told the internet is spotty above the 7th floor. We decided to change hotels. Upon check out, I learned that I was never checked into the room that I was given a key to. I was also not checked in on the Hilton app. I was told that the system had me in a room two floors up. None of this made sense to me. It was all too much and it didn't sit well with me. I will say that the Front Desk Manager, at our time of check out, was friendly and understanding. The verdict-Don't stay here! Do your research beforehand. Thanks for reading this extremely long review. Dun-Dun.

    I stayed one night here. I checked in around 11:30pm and checkout the next day around 10am. Upon check in, it was a breeze. I used the app to check in and get my digital key. The downside is that I could not get in the front door with that key because I guess I needed to confirm my check in. I never seem to receive my waters or treats when checking in. Not only this place but many other Hilton hotels do not recognize their tier you are in. I feel weird asking for my water. I do love knowing that I have an option to get a water. The hotel was very clean. The staff in the morning 10/28 were fantastic!!! The female working the breakfast area was on top of it. She even checked on us at our table from time to time. The front desk was also the same. The hotel was very clean, including the room. It was conveniently located for the needs I was there for... a funeral. It was one of the most comfortable stays I have had in a hotel. Thank you! Keep up the great work!

    Awesome location if you want to be close to the ballpark and the convention center. Massive lobby with decent bar. We had a room on 20th floor overlooking the ballpark, super awesome! Ate a late snack after a game at the hotel restaurant, the burger and wings were really good. Try the DC Mambo sauce on the wings- sticky sweet and the wings were really meaty and hot temperatures. The burger was juicy and freshly grilled. Our server at dinner wasn't the warmest, I never got my water refilled and daughter wanted a refill on lemonade but she never brought it. We had the breakfast buffet the next morning and was really good. It is expensive $24 a person however kids 12 and under are free. Also if you are a hilton member, you do have a food and beverage credit to use so that helps. We ate enough that no lunch will be needed. Our room was clean and again, the view was fantastic. I did think it was slightly needing some attention. There was blue tape on the bottom of bathroom tile, holding it on. Our toilet needed extra flushing and a pillow case was stained. Nothing horrible and wouldn't make me not stay here but when paying $300 a night, I need to be picky.

    Nice location, but nastiest carpet I've ever seen in a hotel. And this was an "upgraded room"

    Taylor W.

    Pleasant stay. The room was not as clean as I would have liked. The floors had obviously never been vacuumed since I found wrappers and food crumbs leftover from previous guests. There was also a nice fly moving around our room enjoying the crumbs. Despite that, the linens and everything else was clean. The room layout was refreshing and had an awesome view. Staff was really attentive. They answered all our questions. The only that I would change is the fact that rooms aren't cleaned daily like in other hotels. They only send someone to clean your room if you stay longer than 7 days so you'll have to ask the clerk if you need more soap or shampoo or new towels.

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.

All are museum quality. I had room service as well as meals at Magdalena but I'll review them separately. ‍ My room was amazing! The four poster bed was so divine. I slept quite comfortably. The soaking tub was deep enough to swim in. The spa gifted me with a bath bomb which made for a truly relaxing soak session. I will most definitely be returning.

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.

It proved to be an excellent base for a short family getaway. The Positives: 1) Room Setup: We appreciated having two queen beds, which worked perfectly for a family of three. Both beds were comfortable, and the room layout felt functional rather than cramped. 2) Location: The hotel's proximity to major attractions was ideal. On our first full day, we walked about 10 minutes along the waterfront to the National Aquarium, which made for an easy and pleasant outing. The next day, we made a similarly short walk to the Port Discovery Children's Museum (formerly known as the Children's Discovery Center). In both instances, being able to walk back and forth without relying on transportation made the trip significantly smoother with a young child. 3) Staff and Service: The staff were consistently helpful. The concierge lounge attendants were friendly, and the front desk team handled check-in and check-out efficiently. On our departure day, we were able to store our luggage seamlessly after checking out, which allowed us to enjoy a few more hours in the area without feeling encumbered. 4) Elevators: This may seem like a small operational detail, but it mattered. We were on the 21st floor, and the concierge lounge is on the 31st. Because there is no direct elevator connection between those floors, we frequently had to ride down to the lobby and transfer elevators. Despite this added movement, the elevators were consistently quick and efficient. We never found ourselves waiting long, even during busier periods--a notable plus in a large waterfront hotel. 5) Concierge Lounge: The lounge was a real asset, particularly on our first evening. After traveling, it was convenient to piece together a full dinner from the generous spread available there. The following morning was more uneven--they ran out of food earlier than expected due to heavier foot traffic--but this appeared to be more of a planning miscalculation than neglect. Overall, having access to the lounge added meaningful value to our stay. (Lounge access is limited to Marriott Bonvoy members with elite status, which fortunately my wife has because of her frequent travels.) 6) Breakfast Buffet: We opted for the breakfast buffet on our final morning. At $32 per person, it is undeniably expensive. That said, the quality and variety justified the price. The offerings were extensive: oatmeal, grits, pork and chicken sausage, bacon, home fries, scrambled eggs, pancakes, made-to-order omelets and waffles, juices, coffee, and more. It was a comprehensive, well-executed American breakfast spread. Overall: For a short family trip to Baltimore, the Marriott Waterfront struck the right balance between comfort, convenience, and service. The location alone makes it highly attractive for families planning to explore the Inner Harbor area, and the operational execution--from elevators to luggage storage--was smooth. We would gladly consider staying here again on a future visit.

During our visit, a…read morebasic chicken dish arrived at our table visually underdone and noticeably pink near the bone--a fundamental kitchen error that instantly shatters any illusion of five-star luxury. It is one thing for a luxury menu to be safe and uninspired; it is another entirely when the kitchen completely fails to execute the basics. From uneven cooking temperatures to a general lack of seasoning discipline, the line feels entirely unmonitored. At a property of this tier, diners expect precision. Instead, the plates suggest a kitchen completely on autopilot, mailing in basic preparations that would be unacceptable at a standard neighborhood pub, let alone a five-star harbor terrace. The glaring gap here isn't just the lack of a 'wow' factor--it's the absence of foundational execution. When a premium-priced kitchen stumbles on simple techniques, the luxury facade completely crumbles. For a high-tier property like the Four Seasons Hotel Baltimore, missing the mark on foundational kitchen skills is the ultimate sin. The marketing promises an ultra-luxury experience--such as Chef Mackenson Horebe's Summer Cookout Dinner Series--but if basic line-cook items are being botched, the kitchen is simply coasting on the hotel's five-star reputation. While a boring menu is disappointing, an unsafe plate is unacceptable. It proves that the kitchen lacks basic supervision or expediting discipline. A chef actively managing their kitchen does not let raw poultry pass the pass. At these steep price points, you are paying for absolute culinary precision. Instead, the kitchen line seem to be operating with zero oversight. Sending out undercooked poultry isn't just a sign of a kitchen mailing it in; it's a failure of basic execution that should never occur in a premium establishment, let alone a global luxury brand. The glaring gap between the property's glamorous marketing and its actual execution became painfully obvious when a companion's chicken dish arrived dangerously undercooked. It turns out the menu isn't just 'vanilla'--the kitchen staff can't even be bothered to execute the absolute basics of safe temperature control. A luxury dining room should never operate on autopilot. From the uninspired flavor profiles to catastrophic technical errors like undercooked chicken, the hotel's culinary team is coasting entirely on the brand's name. Save your money and explore Baltimore's actual, vibrant food scene elsewhere--this one is a passive, corporate disappointment.

The hotel sent up chocolate covered strawberries and a note for hubbys birthday, which was a nice touch. We visited the pool, which was breathtaking. Its a long infinity pool that overlooked the harbour. They have a bar/poolside restaurant and semi private cabanas. I rented a cabana for us and it came with prosecco, guac + chips, water, and a fruit platter. The guac was some of the best Ive had. We also ordered lobster rolls which were THE BEST ive ever had also. The pool staff was so kind and attentive as well. This hotel is literally perfect, especially for a staycation. The only things I did not like were the robes come in one size and run small. Also, I dont feel the cabana's are properly priced. I paid almost $500 and it wasn't really luxurious. When you think of the Four Seasons, you think top tier. The cabana was simply basic for the price. Could have been better. But aside from those two things, the hotel for sure lives up to its name. Forgot to mention, we ordered breakfast via room Service and it was amazing. The croussant waffle is life changing lol

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.
