Harbor Court is probably my favorite. Four Season level of service and amenities.

The Renaissance is also nice, and in a great location. Also the Baltimore Waterfront is a good choice, as it's only a few years old, and especially nice if you get a harbor view room on a high floor.

[starla]

so the waterfront is a good area to stay in?

Pretty much... Baltimore is pretty small, so it is a good idea to be on the water. There are some places closer to the stadium, but they are pretty much dumps and the neighborhood is lousy at night.

yeah, that's what i was worried about. i'm picturing some "wire"-style crackhouses all over the place!

we're pretty much going for the orioles game and then going back to PA for a phillies game. what else is fun to do around baltimore?

We stayed here last time we went to an Orioles/Yanks game. It was about a mile walk each way to the ballpark, and it was in a nice area.

[starla]

ooh, and the price is definitely right for that place!
how did you like the game/park?

[mongolbbq]

The game was good! It was my birthday, so my dad had them put my name on the jumbotron :P The park is BEAUTIFUL! Very, very nice.

apparently you had amazing seats, too! wow!!

that's so cool. i've always loved name announcements! didn't you have your name on the jumbotron at yankee stadium once too? b/c i was at a game once and i swear i saw it there!

[starla]

i don't anticipate doing much late-night meandering. i really wanna do the game, maybe a bar nearby, that's all. :)

i loooove the W! their showers are amazing. my friend used to date a guy who worked there and he got us rooms all the time.

[starla]

yeah, i wish she still had it!
i'm going to vegas in april though and staying at the westin. ;)
