Мэриленд, США: отели категории 3 звезды

Ah, Baltimore, a city of rich history and eclectic charm. My wife and I recently had the pleasure of a stay at the Hotel Ulysses, a luxurious retreat nestled in the heart of this vibrant city. True to the reputation of the New York-based design firm, Ash, the Ulysses is nothing short of an architectural marvel. The first thing that catches your eye? The hotel's impeccable aesthetic. It's a masterful blend of old-world charm and modern design, encapsulating the very essence of Baltimore's diverse character. While the rooms might have been a tad on the cozier side, they more than made up for it with their plush comfort and attention to detail. The Ulysses truly exemplifies the notion that beauty lies in the details, and the meticulousness with which they've curated every aspect of the guest experience speaks volumes. The 19th-century charm of the Mount Vernon neighborhood is beautifully echoed within the Ulysses. The delicate stained-glass skylight, the ornate crown molding, and the preserved brass postal box serve as a testament to the building's rich history. But it's not all vintage here. The interiors seamlessly transition from the ornate influences of the Art Nouveau era to a more streamlined approach, evident in the hickory wood furniture adorned with Ash’s custom textiles. And oh, those hand-beaded lampshades and embroidered quilts! They added the perfect splash of color and quirk. A special shout-out to the carved flamingos that support the bedside tables, a delightful nod to Baltimore's own John Waters and his ”Pink Flamingos.” It's this mix of opulence and eccentricity that makes the Ulysses stand out. Booking through Trip.com was a new experience for us. A bit unconventional, sure, but it came through in the clutch. The $35 ”destination fee” threw us for a loop initially, but the $20 credit we received towards our bill at the hotel restaurant (Ash Bar) or the bar (Blooms) made it all worth it. Speaking of Blooms, what an experience! The mirrored ceiling, the crimson banquettes, and the purple stools set the stage for a night to remember. In a nutshell? The Hotel Ulysses is a triumph, an ode to Baltimore's multifaceted spirit. Whether you're here for the history, the design, or the sheer experience, the Ulysses promises and delivers. Highly recommended! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

This was a great place to stay. Staff was courteous and professional. The rooms were clean and spacious and the location near the convention center made everything convenient for getting around town. I would recommend

This was a short, one evening stay, out by 8am the next morning. I am rating this as a two star hotel, as it was what I wanted to keep everything in perspective. The location for me was perfect, as we were visiting the Cult Classic Brewery for an event. It was extremely convenient. The hotel wasn't busy, but check-in and check-out were efficient. The front desk was pleasant and fulfilled any questions I had. Our 2nd floor room was quiet and very new looking. I believe this is a ”newish” motel, and everything was very fresh inside. All room amenities worked, or did what they were supposed to do. I say this because too many motel rooms have outlets, USB ports, even lamps etc that don't function... so I don't take anything for granted. Everything was perfect in our room, just like it is supposed to be. This was a pleasure!!! This motel sits close to HWY 50 but we heard absolutely no road noise this time of the year. The location was convenient as I stated for our event, and even more so because a great restaurant was right across the street. If we walked 100 feet that was a lot, so we didn't need to move the car. The front of the motel faces toward the west (rear to the east) so we got a piece of the setting sun, and in general the ambiance of being so close to the water. There was also the Kent Narrows Christmas tree exhibit right across the street as well as the Fisherman's monument. So, a bit of fun items to view without needing to get in the car. The morning breakfast at the motel was included, and contained all the standard breakfast fare we have come to expect. While not busy, it was served as you would want it and neat and orderly. All and all, the hotel added to this short, get away trip from the Baltimore area nicely.

I will start with the good. The room was clean and the bed was comfortable. Now the not so good. We chose this hotel specifically because they advertised, on the website, that there was a pool, hot tub, free breakfast, and coffee in the lobby. We were visiting our grandkids, and wanted the pool so we could bring them to swim. Well, weren't we suprised when we were told that both the pool and hot tub were closed permanetly, and the clerk even mentioned that they knew it was still advertised as having them on the website. When we asked about the free breakfast, we were told if we wanted breakfast, that was an additional fee, again, some false advertising going on. When my husband went to the lobby the next morning to get some coffee, well no surprise, there was none, just a plastic jug of water. There was a coffee maker in the room with 1 pod, so we did use that. When we asked about some compensation for the false advertising, we were told no. We would not have picked this hotel, if not for the fact they advertised the pool, hot tub, and free breakfast. Oh and just to put a button on it, we went to the bar for a 12 oz bottle of beer. $7.25 for 1 beer, 12.00 for a glass of wine, we thought that was a bit steep, especially since the bar was in the lobby with no atmosphere. So, if you are just looking for a place to sleep, you'll be fine.

В целом доволен. В отеле царила безопасная и приятная атмосфера. Расположение в менее криминальном районе центра города, хотя я бы не стал специально гулять по нему ночью. Удобное расположение рядом с такими достопримечательностями, как Внутренняя гавань и рынок Лексингтона. Номер был безупречно чистым. Техническое обслуживание можно было бы улучшить, так как были сломаны дверцы шкафа и дыры в стене. Я сообщил об этом дружелюбному персоналу, и они сказали, что знают. В остальном, отель хорошо оборудован, все работало. Уборка не ежедневная и зависит от продолжительности вашего пребывания. Однако, если вам что-то понадобится, вы можете попросить, и вам это предоставят. Завтрак ”шведский стол” был неплохим, ничего особенного. Выбор был ограничен, но достаточен. Из свежих фруктов каждый день были только красные яблоки. Бар был закрыт на обед во время моего пребывания. Для гостей была небольшая рабочая зона с компьютером и принтером. Тренажерный зал был хорошо оборудован. Персонал был дружелюбным, приветливым, и было видно, что все старались сделать пребывание гостей приятным. Я бы подумал и вернулся.

When we were arriving, we didn’t have navigation so it was wonderful to see the big sign from the road. Check in is also 24hrs which really helped us as we were arriving late. The room had everything we needed and included 3 power points under the table lamps. It would’ve been nice to have brighter lights as it was a bit dim but the lamps helped to focus the lighting. All the staff and housekeeping were friendly but I wished the front desk had more knowledge for overseas travellers. It’s also conveniently located near a shopping area. We got our traveller eSIM cards from the nearby AT&T store. I didn’t get to use the amenities.

我女兒在酒店附近的公司實習，所以先後在這住了28天，因為有全套廚房設施，所以平時做飯很方便。房間很乾凈，舒適。 酒店位置便利，可方便前往I-270 高速公路，附近有許多餐飲和購物場所，Shady Grove Metro 地鐵站也在附近，可輕鬆直達華盛頓特區。 免費冷熱早餐美味可口，選擇多樣。員工會保持座位區清潔。 住宿期間，要換毛巾，補充紙巾都可以去前台拿，快遞包裹前台也會幫着接收，工作人員很熱情，友好。

Географическое положение отеля хорошее, отношение персонала очень хорошее, гигиена также  убирается чисто и упорядоченно.

Value for money. The daily room rate is about US$92. Walking distant to Twinbrook metro station. There’s a supermarket and many eateries nearby, such as a Japanese restaurant, 2 hotpot restaurants, Starbucks etc

Nice and clean hotel good overall stay Locations is convenient
