Any recent comments? How do they treat plats? How far is it from Camden Yards? Anything to do in the area?

Decent enough hotel in a nice part of town. It's not downtown, so it is a bit of a distance from Camden Yards (where my Jays will trounce the Orioles in August ). A pretty big mall (Towson Town Center or something like that) across the street, with a bridge connecting to the hotel. It's right off the highway (I think it's called the Beltway or something), so it's convenient.

Seems to be WiFi in the hotel, at least on the Club Floors (saw the transmitters, but I didn't have my wireless PC card with me, so didn't try it), but no HSIA wired connection in my room. Club Floor, by the way, looks no different from any other floor...

Rooms are good sized. Shower even has the Westin curved curtain rod, if I remember correctly. One light bulb in the room didn't work. Bath robe was not in the room. Called downstairs, and these were delivered in minutes.

I'm only a gold, so can't comment on Plt treatment. Asked for late checkout, and was told a manager would get back to me. No one ever did. Turned out I didn't need one, but that was beside the point .

The pool is large and looks nice. "Life Guard" on duty. We went to the pool, and the guy said we couldn't go in because he had to go across the street to get something, and would be back in five minutes. Apparently there's some law that says no one goes into the pool when life guard is not there (he didn't return for 10 minutes).

Parking is in a building next to the hotel. I'm sure that's a connecting walkway or something, but I couldn't find it. So had to walk of that building and into the hotel building. NBD. Took 30 seconds. Parking is free, BTW.

Didn't try the restaurant, as the menu looked uninspiring.

Would I stay there again? Hard to say. If the price is right, maybe. But if the goal is to "visit" Baltimore, an Inner Harbor location would be better, I think.

Hope this is somewhat useful.

Anyone has comparisons to the Sher Inner Harbor

It's been a while since I've been there, but it's a better than average business hotel.

There are no suites, but there is a club level.

I haven't stayed at the downtown Sheraton, but would recommend it if you want to be in Baltimore. For an Oriole game, the downtown location is just 2 blocks away. The other downtown attractions are also walking distance.

What is your itinerary?

I stayed at the Sheraton Baltimore North for 2 nights in early September.

I had dinner one night at the restaurant, which was OK. Breakfast was chaotic. They didn't seem to have a host/hostess or enough servers. Also, check-in was kind of slow.

The room was very nice and large. I am only gold so I didn't stay on a club floor.

Although the mall is very large, the restaurant choices were limited, I think there was a Friday's and a Rainforest Cafe.

wuhoo

the rooms have wifi for free, and they give you large liter bottles of water
they also have large bathrooms
there is a club lounge with happy hour hor douevres and continental breakfast
its a decent sheraton in a pretty good location
it does get quite busy during the weeks, so make your reservations early

unfortunately for me, my corp rate went up here so i have been forced to go to the sheraton columbia. this sheraton is about the same as the baltimore north, but it has smaller bathrooms. its club lounge has better food though

For a slightly different restaurant experience at reasonable prices, try the Nordstrom Cafe in the mall. Limited selection, but the food is quite decent.

The downtown Sheraton is ideal for taking in a game at Camden Yards. About a block from the train system is also a plus.

any new reviews from this hotel?

I've never personally stayed at the hotel but I have put visiting co-workers up there and they have been very satisfied. The mall across the street was recently expanded so there is now a PF Changs and a Cheesecake Factory in addition to the 2 restaurants mentioned in an earlier post. There's also a Bahama Breeze on the other side of the mall.

Looks like the lounge is closed on the weekends. What do they offer Plats on the weekends in lieu of the lounge?

LilZeppelin

the lounge is unimpressive. We did stumble on a nice nepalese restaurant in the neighborhood though Kathmandu Kitchen. Overall the hotel was fine, the drive to Inner Harbor in the morning took 30 min.

I just booked a points club floor room for my wife next month. Anyone know if the lounge is open on the weekends, or if they provide vouchers for breakfast if the lounge is closed? I emailed the hotel, but have not heard back (I will call if nobody knows the answer)

Also, can this thread be added to the hotel thread in the sticky?

grlittle

Got my answer back from the hotel (about 3 days after sending an email). The club lounge is closed on weekends and they do not offer vouchers or other assistance for breakfast on the weekends.

So changed the reservation to a regular room, no need to spend an extra 1,000 points for the club floor if the loung is closed.
