I arrived to check-in what I thought would be a nice downtown motel, but three blocks from the address, I noticed the area got really shady with storefronts boarded up and graffiti everywhere.
Arriving to the front curb, I was greeted by a junky asking what I needed. I told him I'm checking in, then he kept walking in and out of the hotel with his ''associate'' - so before unloading my wheelchair and service dog, waited for them to leave.
Over the next 30-minutes, I watched them conduct no less than four drug deals from the curb. With the junky serving the cars that pulled up and his associate going in the hotel each time with the dope.
Meanwhile, queue the 2 assumed prostitutes coming in and out of the lobby to meet their John's with their pimp before driving off and the pimp going back in the lobby, only to bring out another girl ten minutes later.
Friday night at this rat hole is a nightmare. I immediately called Hotels.com to let them know I would NOT be checking in and demanding a refund for my pre-paid reservation.
I ended up staying at the Inner Harbor and having to pay three times the price to feel safe. Expedia requested a response to the property manager who ignored my request, so I had to file a chargeback with my credit card.
DO NOT STAY HERE UNLESS YOU ARE LOOKING FOR DRUGS OR A PROSTITUTE.
There was no security present, nor on-site parking, and the management is clearly aware of the problems but let it happen. Likely because it's the only chance of customers.
