overnight in Baltimore?

Has anyone gone the day b4 and stayed in a hotel overnight in Baltiomore?

If so how does it work, Can you leave yoru car at the hotel and get a shuttle to the port? If so how much should we expect to pay for parking? What hotel do you recommend? thanks in advance

We stayed at the Best western in Elkridge and it worked out great! The hotel was clean and the complementary breakfast wasn't bad at all. There's a pub right there in the parking lot. We had dinner and a few drinks and the food was not bad. The shuttle will drop you off and pick you up from the terminal. Parking is included in the price which was about $130.00 or so.

We stayed in Baltimore in Fells Point at the Admiral Fell Inn. The parking and shuttle was included in the offer. It was a few years ago, but it's worth checking into. The Inn was historic and supposedly haunted(!). It was also right around the corner from the Pub where Edgar Allen Poe had his last drink.:eek:

I am staying at the Best Western on O'Donnell St. They offer 30 days of parking plus a shuttle to and from the port. I paid $149.

Just a heads up this place has a truck stop across the street and trucking services on hotel property. Also you will find police surveillance cameras mounted on street poles a few blocks away.

Trucking services? What does that mean? Should it concern me?

I am not really worried about my 2006 car.

There is a truck washing service located on the property.

My concern would be the surrounding area with the police cameras mounted on street poles as there is low income housing within walking distance of the hotel.

Thanks for explaining, Tony.

Loved the Best Western Elkridge. Was not far from Arundel Mills, where we ate dinner and did some shopping pre cruise. We also liked the hotels Fitness Center and INDOOR HEATED pool, both of which we used :) Also they had a typical breakfast buffet the next morning, which was included.

No problem parking the car there, and the property is not on a main road and felt really safe.

Shuttle was awesome, just sign up for your time AS SOON AS YOU CHECK IN. Shuttle is round trip.

Can't remember how much we paid, I think around $150. Room was real nice too. Modern. Great AC, quiet.

Will be staying there every time we sail on the Pride!!!

DH and I just stayed at the Holiday Inn Express on Russell Street. It was right next door to the Horseshoe Casino and about 2 blocks from the Baseball Stadium. There was a game the night we stayed there two weeks ago. We parked our car at the HIX and took the shuttle to the pier in the morning. Upon return to Baltimore, we called the HIX and the shuttle picked us up at the pier. It took them about 30 minutes to come after we called them. We were on our way back to upstate NY by 8:30 AM. The room was nice and the breakfast was included. The price was $136 for the package. Parking at the pier for a 9 night cruise is $135 so I thought it was a great deal. Would recommend it to anyone sailing out of Baltimore.

This is one of the hotels I am thinking about for our cruise on the pride in April... How far in advance did you book the hotel and who did you book it through?

Thanks in advance
