Admiral Fell Inn Baltimore Harbor, Ascend Hotel Collection

“Fells point finest”

Good location, friendly staff. Quirky little hotel with many twist and turns in order to get to your room. High end amenities and comfortable rooms. Farmers market on the weekend just outside the hotel.

“Fantastic location---Charming Historic Hotel--Very Steep Parking Fee”

I don't think that you could possibly ask for a better location than the William Fell. It is located dead in the center of Fell's Point and and is just across the street from the harbor.

I don't think that you could possibly ask for a better location than the William Fell. It is located dead in the center of Fell's Point and and is just across the street from the harbor. Everything you could possibly ask for is within blocks of the hotel. In regards to the property itself, it has a pleasing interior design (recently renovated), small but nice lobby and a downstairs speakeasy that is perfectly fine (though if you want great dining or a more active bar scene, there are better options within a few blocks). The room was surpisingly large for an old downtown hotel. The room was also suprisingly quiet considering the fact that it is right in the middle of the bar district. The front desk staff was friendly though I wouldn't say overly enthusiastic. The price for the room was reasonable. If there were any drawbacks, I would say that getting into the building with luggage can be a challenge for those with mobility issues. I was with my disabled sister, and the steps were very steep. No one offered to help with our bags or open the door (if memory serves--maybe the valet did and I didn't notice as I was in a hurry..but I don't think so). There may be an entrace with a ramp, but I didn't see it (correct me if I'm wrong). The other drawback was the outrageous valet parking fee. Now, perhaps this cannot be avoided as parking in Fell's Point is, i'm sure, limited. It was, however, somewhere around $70.00 plus a $13.00 parking tax. I would expect this in NYC but was surprised it cost this much in Baltimore. Next time, I will probably try to find parking farther out and just Uber to the hotel. Otherwise, it was an overall pleasurable stay and I would certainly consider going back.

“Good location/Very Noisy at Night”

We stayed here two nights. The location was great; our room facing the Main Street was very noisy late at night. Room was oddly shaped but clean and had what we needed. You had to really slam the door to get it to lock, which was concerning. We paid the $75/day plus taxes to have our car parked for… more

We stayed here two nights. The location was great; our room facing the Main Street was very noisy late at night. Room was oddly shaped but clean and had what we needed. You had to really slam the door to get it to lock, which was concerning. We paid the $75/day plus taxes to have our car parked for two days. The price is pretty standard for large cities. However, our car was parked out front of the hotel on the second morning when we came down for breakfast, and I had NOT asked for it. Both RH wheels were parked about an inch from the curb on a narrow street and my (Porsche) alloy wheels were scuffed more than when I gave the valet the car the first day. Who takes “before” photos when they leave a car to a valet (?), so it wasn’t worth arguing about. Hindsight, I should have found a garage and parked it myself. The restaurant next door was fine; the breakfast food was good. Service from the younger staff the first day was much better and friendlier than the older woman the second day. So overall: three star.
