The Mt Vernon Inn

Good

This hotel had so many problems… I switched rooms 3 times, one cause the first one was right next to the lobby and I asked if we could have a different room. When we got a different one, the fridge didn’t work and the room was just overall dirty. We got switched to a different room again, but he gave us a suite saying I don’t need to pay extra. Which was nice, but when we looked under the sheets, there was a lot of hair inside it. I was too tired to change again and I just asked for different sheets and changed them myself. The sofa is stained and dirty, there were 2 dead bugs dried up dead on the floor and then there were ants crawling from under the sofa at some point. The towels were stained, there was a cup left on the window sill and some sort of tube too? I’m not sure what it was.. the vent started leaking water too in the room at some point and we were told the AC was on, so the room was hot because we didn’t want a leak… the was a huge leak in the hotel lobby too. The ice machine doesn’t work either. It kinda works but it’s clogged. When I asked what I should do, the was told to just open it and grab the ice out of the machine with my hands. All I can say is that the manager tried to accommodate for the stay generally with the suite, but it doesn’t excuse the amount of things that happened and how dirty it is… I don’t see myself ever coming here again.. please fix the rooms and clean it better, this is one of the dirtiest hotels I’ve ever been to.

Let me just start out by saying we did not stay the night. Once we realized our room had no pillows, an unreliable cooling system, and was just sort of gross, we decided to return to our home (an hour away.) It was hard to tell how clean the facility was. It looked like it was very dirty, but I think that impression might’ve come from the overall deteriorated condition of the facility and not necessarily the cleanliness. When I realized we had no pillows, I went down to the front desk where I found the manager asleep on the floor of the office. He disappeared for quite a while and reappeared with two very tiny white pillows. I asked him if he had more and he said no. So we had two very tiny pillows for a king-sized bed.

I chose to stay here for the price and the 7/10 rating made me feel ok about my choice. Unfortunately, it was more like a 3 for me. The pros: price, location close to inner harbor, water pressure, free street parking nearby on weekends. The cons: was told we could check in at 2 but room wasn’t ready until 3, room floors were incredibly dirty, no pillows on the bed except for the decorative sham pillows, the area around our room was creepy, had to go through to a sketchy hallway to our room which was by itself, AC was very loud, burn hole in our comforter, and the door wasn’t locked to the street; anyone could have come in. There was no elevator, very steep staircase which was not a concern for my partner and I but wanted to note for everyone else! In hindsight, I should have read through the reviews before choosing a 7/10 hotel.

We ended up leaving because our room wasnt up to our standards and was in a very questionable area of town.

Beautiful old building. Limited electric outlets and tv channels

This is a very old building that has gone through several renovations. No elevators and lots of stairs, difficult moving luggage up and down. There is no parking, had to park at a parking facility which cost an additional $26. On a good note, the bed was very comfortable but the pillows were not.

This is a budget hotel in a fabulous location. Not expensive; worth the money. I stay here whenever I want a clean bed and a shower.

Nothing.

Everything. Black mold on the bathroom’s ceiling. Parts of the bathroom ceiling is coming off. Weird smell on the room. Overused of cleaning products.
