During your Baltimore vacation, don't miss these great establishments and attractions:

Baltimore Museum of Art
The BMA is famous for its Matisse collection, assembled by Baltimore sisters Claribel and Etta Cone, who went to Paris in the 1920s and came back with a collection of Impressionist and modern art. The $4 million Cone Wing showcases their collection of paintings by Matisse, Cézanne, Gauguin, van Gogh, and Renoir. Visit the special room set up to remember these women: drawers filled with their personal things, pieces of furniture, and a virtual tour of their Baltimore apartments. The largest museum in Maryland, the BMA offers galleries dedicated to modern and contemporary art; European sculpture and painting; American painting and decorative arts; prints and photographs; arts of Africa, Asia, the Americas, and Oceania; and a 2.7-acre sculpture garden with 35 major works by Alexander Calder, Henry Moore, and others. Highlights include the 35,000-square-foot West Wing for Contemporary Art with work by Andy Warhol, Jasper Johns, and Baltimorean Grace Hartigan; early American decorative arts and a gallery of miniature rooms; and European art that includes Impressionist painting by Monet and Degas's "Little Dancer, Age Fourteen." The Jacobs Wing, a collection of 15th- to 19th-century European art, reopened in 2003, beautifully displayed in rich jewel-toned rooms. Younger visitors can borrow the ART+FUN packs to show them museum pieces on their own level as they listen to music or draw themselves. Free First Thursdays is a free event held first Thursdays until 8pm with gallery tours, music, and activities for families. A summer jazz series in the sculpture garden is another delight.

Jewish Museum of Maryland
A visit here offers insight on local Jewish history, a glimpse of Jewish traditions, and a look at the immigration experience. Two 19th-century synagogues are worth a look. The 1945 Lloyd Street Synagogue is Maryland's oldest and one of the oldest in the U.S. It's plainer than the nearby B'nai Israel Synagogue, but it also has a matzo oven, a mikvah (ritual bath), and a classroom where the first Hebrew school got its start. There's also a hands-on exhibit for children. "The Golden Land: A Jewish Family Learning Place" focuses on the immigrant experience in this neighborhood over the past 2 centuries. The Greek Revival-style B'nai Israel Synagogue, built in 1876, contains what may be the oldest Jewish star in one of its stained-glass windows. Its Ark is a hand-carved masterpiece. Between the two is the exhibit space and library. The exhibits change often but always focus on Jewish religion and culture. Look for exhibits on German Jewish refugees and the Jewish summer camp experience in 2004 and 2005. The museum shop is filled with Judaica, CDs, books, and kids' stuff.

Baltimore and Ohio (B&O) Railroad Museum
A heavy snowstorm in February 2003 caused the roof of the museum's roundhouse to collapse, all but destroying valuable engines, railroad cars and train memorabilia. The museum has remained closed while the roof was rebuilt and trains were repaired. The good news is this venerable repository of train history will reopen November 13,2004. American railroading got its start here when the B&O was chartered in 1827. The first locomotive, The Tom Thumb, was built here. The remarkable roundhouse has been restored. A new entrance, new exhibits, and a train ride will be part of the experience. Changes should make it easier for handicapped visitors and parents with strollers. Some of the rolling stock on track behind the roundhouse will now be open to visitors -- and that's good news. The second floor of the roundhouse has not been rebuilt but the model train exhibit will be located in a car outside. A short train ride is now part of the admission price with trains departing regularly every day April through December and weekends in January. (No rides in February-March.) Passengers will have a chance to see a new restoration facility under construction along the track.

Very close to immigration office.

Shower was not that loud that my baby was able to sleep longer. The room was much larger that there was more space for luggage. Coffee maker and blower were on hand.

Friendlly staff, but dirty Hotel

Anonymous, Oakland, CA, 2006-10-22

Very close to the Washington Monument and museums. Also a short walk to the inner harbor, where if you are there, must check out USS Constellation, the last "only sail" ship left over from the Civil War. Great History!!!!

Although the hotlel staff were very friendly and accomadating, I was very dissatisfied with the upkeep of the property. My blanktes had ciggerette burns in them, and even though the room stated it was non-smoking, it smelled like stale ciggerette smoke. The carpet in the room and the whole hotel for that matter, was absolutely disgusting and stunk of dirt and mold. To compound all of this smell, our window did not open up. (apparently no rooms had windows that opened) Not only did it make the smell worse by never getting fresh air in the room, it can tend to make one feel he/she is staying in a prison. The only positive I can really say is, the staff were great and very friendly, and the neighborhood was great. Very central, but you didn't feel you were in a tourist trap. (like the inner harbor)

Great Value

The Inner Harbor, only a few blocks away, has something of interest for everyone.

The Mount Vernon Hotel was very nice. The room was clean and comfortable, while the bathroom was both clean and large. Excellent handicap accessability. The hotel provides a continental breakfast every morning, and it is great, they even have a waffle iron! The towels were soft. The location was OK, the taxi ride to and from the inner harbor was around $7, not including tip.

Terrible location

I can't comment on any of the services from the hotel. It was in such a bad area that we were afraid to get out of the car and we left.

Baltimore value

Michael, Washington, DC, 2006-07-05

The hotel itself is nothing to brag about; however the price is right for Baltimore. Around the corner and down a few blocks is the Washington Monument and park where you can get a good cup of coffee, a few interesting places to eat as well. If you go towards the harbor you'll run into Mick O'Shea's a great Irish pub. A trip to the Harbor or Camden Yard is a quick taxi away or catch a ride on the light rail train which is only a few blocks away. If you are looking for a hotel with lots of amenities you are in the wrong place; if what you want is a clean, modest and moderately priced hotel this is the place.

ac in room not working at all , 95 degrees and it smelled. they were nice enough to move us to a new room after an hour of explaining how bad the first room was. parking is a major joke, we had to do a 100 point turn to get into the extremely tight space. cheapest hotel in town (now i know why ! ) no in room internet, this is 2006 right? enough said, do yourself a favor, stay somewhere else.
