Top hotels in Dorchester
Sonesta Hotel Baltimore Inner Harbor
Very disappointing stay. The room was not clean, and the neighboring room was extremely noisy with constant door slamming. Staff did nothing after we complained, so we could barely sleep. There was also no safe for valuables. Overall, I would not recommend staying here.
