“Holiday Inn Express Baltimore-Downtown strikes me as a practical choice, particularly appreciating the complimentary shuttle service within a one-mile radius. While some find the location less than ideal, the free shuttle to Inner Harbor and Penn Station adds considerable value. I also note the building's history as a former bank, which gives it a distinct character.”
