Sheraton Inner Harbor

A Room with a View (and baseball tickets)

Just about everyone knows what a Sheraton is like: a swanky, high-rise hotel, with swanky rooms at swanky prices. In the case of the Sheraton Inner Harbor, though, they have one extra bonus: a guest package that comes with baseball tickets included. Sara discovered this offer and immediately went into action arranging a Baltimore getaway the weekend the Red Sox were in town.

The room was just what you would expect: spacious and comfy, even including a fancy HDTV to watch your pay-per-view movies on. Our room even had a view of the Inner Harbor. Breakfast is extra ($13), but is an amazing buffet and omelet bar, with unlimited juice and coffee included.

There were some negative parts to the stay. First, our check-in was a bit odd, with the clerk first telling us we couldn't check in until after the ball game (!). Fortunately, we went to another clerk who managed to check us in. The tickets we were promised were "along the third base line." While this was literally true (and, to be fair, we were very close to the field), it turned out we were about 10 feet from the left field foul pole. While we were charged only $25 per ticket instead of the expected $50, we still felt like we had been dealt a bit of a bait-and-switch. The walls of the room were surprisingly thin -- so much so we could hear our neighbors shuffling their cards while they were playing bridge. Finally, there was some luggage snafu, with a security guard pounding on our door at 12:30 AM asking if we had found any luggage in the room. No, we hadn't.

All in all, despite all of the above, I'll give the hotel the benefit of the doubt and say I was satisfied. Let's hope they can get a bit better organized in the future, though.

Unique Quality: - Luxury hotel right downtown
