In the heart of Baltimore’s popular Inner Harbor area, this 250-room Days Inn is a convenient pick for both business and leisure travelers to the city. Highlights at this mid-range hotel include an on-site restaurant, coffee shop, heated pool (open seasonally), and 24-hour fitness room. Rooms with microwaves, mini-fridges, and sometimes coffeemakers have a contemporary polish, but an overall generic feel. Though guests find the rate a good value for the location and amenities, purchasing breakfast and paying daily parking fees takes some of the shine off. For a better value with more style, check out the Lord Baltimore Hotel, a historic downtown property with a rooftop bar.

There’s much to like about the three-and-a-half-pearl Hyatt Place Baltimore/Inner Harbor -- but it's located a hike from Inner Harbor. The bright and contemporary hotel, which opened in 2014, has 208 guest rooms that are attractive and streamline, with sleeper sofas, flat-screen TVs, mini-fridges, coffeemakers, and free Wi-Fi, but they lack microwaves and safes. Amenities are a highlight here, and include a 24-hour bar and eatery with casual fare, free hot buffet breakfast, a spacious and well-equipped fitness center, and a small lap-style pool in a cheerful space below skylights. Travelers looking to stay in the heart of the Harbor can consider Sheraton Inner Harbor Hotel.

The 162-room Hotel Indigo Baltimore Downtown is a beautiful upscale property with stylish design and location that's convenient to businesses in downtown Baltimore. Contemporary and hip rooms have comfortable queen- or king-size beds, plus mini-fridges, coffeemakers, and flat-screen TVs. Features like a good restaurant, nice fitness center, and free cocktail hours are appealing, but the lack of a pool may be a letdown for some, especially families. For a more kid-friendly pick, check out Holiday Inn Inner Harbor for its indoor pool, free snacks in the lobby, and proximity to entertainment -- though it lacks the style of Hotel Indigo.

This upscale bed and breakfast is housed within a 1902 English Tudor mansion, set on 45 acres outside of Baltimore.

Prices are quite reasonable (with lower rates in the winter), especially given the property’s elegant formal gardens, outdoor pool, and free made-to-order breakfasts.

This 80-room property dates back to the 1800s and has an excellent location next to Fell’s Point Harbor. The rooms are well maintained and feature traditional decor, flat-screen TVs, and coffeemakers. With few modern amenities (there’s no fitness center or pool), Admiral Fell Inn offers a more cozy and historic experience. Free perks include shuttle service, Wi-Fi, and ghost tours.

The 195-room Royal Sonesta draws visitors with its grand common spaces, convenient Inner harbor location, and impressive rooftop health club, complete with pool, whirlpool, and sauna. Rooms are notable for their size (they start at 420 square feet) and, in some, their harbor views, but the decor feels slightly dated (particularly the busy carpets). Still, the hotel's extensive features and location help make this one of the city's better four-pearl options.

Conveniently located near the Inner Harbor and downtown offices, this 323-room mid-range hotel appeals to tourists and business travelers alike. Property highlights include a spacious sports bar, 24-hour fitness center, and one of the only outdoor pools in the city. The first floor has been renovated, but the rooms could use refreshing (the decor hasn’t changed since the hotel’s former days as a Sheraton). Prices are usually competitive for a mid-range hotel in this area, but those who'd prefer a large indoor pool to the outdoor one here might consider the sometimes slightly pricier Holiday Inn Inner Harbor.
