InterContinental Harbor Court Baltimore, Baltimore

We've been going to this hotel every year for more than 10 years. First, it is expensive, yes, but you feel you are getting what you're paying for, which is great rooms, great service and great location. The past few years we have even splurged for a suite, which we did not think was worth it before. Two words: It is. Yes, as someone else wrote, the Cafe Express (which doubles as the gift shop) is basically a Starbucks clone, but where you used to not be able to get much more than coffee and candy, it has added many more items to the menu. And speaking of food, the Cafe Brighton (breakfast and casual dining) is do darn good, we've yet to even try the more expensive main dining room. We either have room service, or go out in the city for yummy crabs. One of the best hotels in the East.

The room and the entire hotel were very clean, that's the most important thing for me. I got a good night sleep, the bed was great and it was quiet. The minibar had a lot of stuff. I wanted to give the hotel 5 stars, but the Espresso Etc coffee shop needed to have had more food. The last thing the world needs is a Starbucks clone. I would stay there again.
