The hotel is fine. The problem is parking. We assumed the $16 overnight charge would be added to the bill. We were given a notice to display on the dashboard. We were not told that we had to pay at an automatic kiosk we didn't see until morning. At about 11:30 Sunday we found a ticket on the car for $48. Unacceptable.

The hotel itself and decor was charming, and the location was good. However, the room was very small, very chilly, very dark (light bulbs in bathroom not working), noisy (when furnace was on it made a loud, humming noise), and parking situation is very inconvenient. Also, there is only half of a door on the shower leaving the other half exposed which made showering very cool.

Loved the vibe and the signature scent! Room and lobby was charmingly decorated and really well maintained. Bars/restaurants were nice but understaffed, was unable to get served breakfast - we gave up on waiting for hostess to show up.

We enjoyed our stay at Ulysses. Everything was clean and I love how the decor is not your boring sterile white hotel decor. It has a lot of charm. There are a lot of great restaurants right around this area. Great experience, would book again!

Stay was great and service was impeccable. Fantastic location but the room was itty-bitty and poorly designed for space utilization.

Frequent Baltimore Visitor Deeply Disappointed
The pros: comfortable bed, good location, Ash Bar. Everything else, big disappointment. Reviewers leaving 10/10 must have had a very different room and experience. First night, I thought there must have been a night club across the street. Figured out it was the room next door --loud music late. Called desk at 12:45 a.m. and was assured they would contact the room. Waited another 1.5 hours. Called back. It was 2:30 a.m. before anyone went to the room. Thermostat in my room was set to 76, located in the coolest part of the room near the door. Room was SO HOT. Thermostat can't be adjusted by guest. I asked it to be adjusted 3 times. Never happened; hot air from a noisy fan. Queen room is VERY small. Walk space on either side of the bed, and not much else. I stay at POD and Moxy, but those properties with small rooms have common areas where you can hang out. Not the Ulysses. I ended up chilling in the lobby of the Revival Hotel a couple blocks away because the room was too small/hot. Very dim lighting, even when you figure out how to turn it up. No work space/too dim anyway. Shower head cheap, low pressure, tiles grimy around the bottom. Toilet clogged on first morning; embarrassing/inconvenient. I thought about canceling day 2, but I had paid a nonrefundable rate. No eye contact or questions about my stay at check out, just "Wait...All set." (None of this pertains to Ash Bar where the food, drinks, and service were great.) Hotel is style over service. (My first poor rev. ever.)
