The hot tub was freezing. Colder than the pool. Apparently that is an ongoing issue. I waited for a really long time to be acknowledged at the restaurant to place a carry out order. When I entered my room for the 1st time, the cabinet was broken. Luckily maintenance was next door making a repair, so I asked if he could fix it. He did come right over. The hotel removed some of my expense to make things right. I'm pretty easy going, so I was satisfied.

I was able to book a last minute stay with them. Valet parking was really nice, told me about the 2 forms of parking (valet/self service). Check in was smooth & quick (just remember to give them your vehicle plate # at check in; avoids parking payment)

The room was extremely clean. The 2 Beds were a decent size for 4 guests. Gym was really clean and had various machines to use. Pool is located on the 7th floor next to the gym.

The hotel is super convenient for inner harbor & game day stays!

Alrighty — I may be a little biased here, but here’s my honest take. We stayed from Sunday night into Monday morning. The front desk staff were super sweet and helpful, and the room itself was comfortable — beds were great, bathroom was clean.

However, there was a Starbucks cup left on the floor by the window from a previous guest, and when we pulled the curtain back further, we found even more Starbucks trash. It made the room feel like it was given a quick once‑over rather than a full clean, which was disappointing.

The onsite restaurant was also a bit of a letdown. Several menu items we tried to order weren’t available due to missing ingredients, and we were told they closed at 9, even though weekday hours say midnight. Since check‑in is at 4 and we were out exploring the city, it would’ve been more convenient to rely on the onsite option — that’s kind of the whole point of having it.

Overall, the photos online looked a little brighter and more polished than what we experienced. The stay wasn’t terrible by any means — it was okay — but between the room cleanliness oversight and the restaurant issues, we’ll probably explore other hotel options in the area next time.

I didn’t like the fact that I had to wait till 7 o’clock in the morning to get a cup of coffee. There should be more options for getting bottled water or beverages or coffee and just to get a black cup of coffee took 10 minutes at 7 o’clock in the morning. And I know you have coffee makers in the room, but they didn’t have caffeinated coffee pods.

Room is decent, safe in the room is broken. they’re extremely under staff. Upon arrival I requested a microwave, I called and checked with them in person at the lobby for 4 times. It took them more than 3 hrs to deliver the microwave up to my room. I have to say the staff at front desk is helpful, however he’s the only person around if you need help. The main reason we picked this hotel is the indoor pool. When we get there just to find out the pool water is super cloudy and no one is using it. It seems like they did not do a good job in the maintenance and keep it clean. We were afraid and did not want to touch the water in the pool. It was such a big mistake to have booked this place. I would not be going back there again.

The room was clean, comfortable, and in a very convenient location. Check-in was smooth and the overall setup met my needs. However, the outside noise was quite noticeable, especially at night, which made it harder to get good rest. If you’re a light sleeper, this is something to keep in mind.

Saturday morning engineer, Friday evening restaurant server, morning housekeeping staffer and Front desk staff after 6 was horroble...the worst. I've never experienced such a service so alienating in my life. Front desk doesnt pick up the phones or ask you to hold and never come back. Restaurant server walked passed me so many times to give attention to this White family that I had to demand 2 menus, water, service, etc. I asked where could I sit and this Black older man (tall) ignored me so badly that other customers were attentive and startled. The room was tended to but there were no replacement of bath linen just old dirty used bath linen were left to reuse. I had to get dressed in the hallway because engineering took too long to come to fix the AC. Then he gets smart with me while I'm preparing to get dressed drenched in sweat and Im headed to bury my uncle. I will spread the news of the poor customer service of this hotel.

When we checked in the valet, Anthony, was excellent!! Very helpful even though we self parked. The check-in was slow and eventually disappointing. There was one person answering the phone (taking a reservation while we waited). She took our license plate number so that we could go in and out of the garage anytime, and the gate would automatically go up plus we get a dicounted rate. We didn't go out until departure and then found she never passed on the plate number to the garage. We paid full price rather further delay our departure. Other than her, the stay was excellent!!! Would we go back? Maybe.

We stayed here twice and this late stay will be our late. We couldn't sleep at all. Stayed up literally all night. Very noisey. Loud noise in the hallway by our room door and we could literally hear every conversation the valet workers was having outside. Checked out and was told by the receptionist that the manager would call when he got in at 11.30 only for me to call later and was told it wasn't a note left on my account to have a manager call me and he has left for the day. I dont recommend this hotel at all especially if you on vacation and want to relax peacefully. And communication is very poor among staff

Very nice staff, but had to leave early due to a few incidents. I had to move at 1 am due to “heavy adult activity” in the room next to me and then the second room I was in had a smell of marijuana. So at 2 am I finally was able to get into a room that worked. As I was leaving in a rush, I left my Apple Watch on my bed. They claim it was not there but my find my on Apple is showing it moving around the hotel. The front desk has been very kind and the baristas in the coffee shop attached made my morning. Other than that I definitely would not call it a 4 star as it is a bit outdated and on a busy road but it gets the job done.

We've been staying at the Harbor Court for over thirty years, whenever we're back visiting. While I still think it's a great place, I'd say that the price is a bit higher than is justified by an interior that hasn't really been significantly updated since the 1990s.

The staff was always helpful and friendly. At least when you spoke to them in person. They also use a texting process that doesn't actually seem to work, other than to get you signed up for their loyalty program. I never got an answer the several times I posed questions over text.

I'll say that I got an \"upgrade\" e-mail that indicated I could pay a little more for a larger room on the 6th floor. That upgrade was available when I checked in, but it was on the third floor and had fewer windows. I brought it to the staff's attention immediately, but I never really got a resolution, other than that they agreed to knock a little bit of the upgrade charge off. I wouldn't have \"upgraded\" had they not falsely stated what the upgrade would be, so that was disappointing.

I was in town for a convention and this hotel met my needs. The staff was lovely and helpful when possible. I will say it left a little to be desired in some areas: it's clearly been a long time since it was last renovated, it's a little shabby in places. My room faced the \"courtyard\" which is an active driveway, so I could hear cars coming in and out all night. Also the smoke/vape detector droned quite loudly and they said that's normal. I probably wouldn't stay here again, especially for the price, but it was fine.

I did give my feedback to the hotel front desk. The room (751) is right next door to the elevator, and it's not properly sound insulated to the point I couldn't sleep and it sounded like explosions were happening. (I did call and tried to change rooms but you were sold out). Also, the shower water (both at night and in the morning) was never hot. It was warm, but not hot... probably only about 95 degrees (I own a hot tub so I know what 104+ feels like, most hotels operate at a max of 110 to even 120). So unfortunately, it was a pretty miserable experience for what it was supposed to be.

Had a wonderful stay at Royal Sonesta Inner Harbor. Rooms were clean and well appointed. Used every offered indoor (this stay was in February) aminity -- pool, hot tub, sauna, gym and meditation room -- all clean & well designed. Staff & service was amazing... from the friendly/helpful doorman, the 24-hr reception desk (thanks Tre), the onsite lounge (serving French 75's), and Adrian (in the coffe shop). Housekeeping and maintenance (who delivered a microwave to the room upon request... and in record time) -- everyone seemed to embrace a guest-first, welcoming demeanor.

This is a slightly older hotel. Although very comfortable, it could stand a tad of updating in places. Happy to overlook any older features, however, due to the floor to ceiling in-room views of the infamous Baltimore Harbor.

Will definitely stay again.
