Small but comfortable

Our room was small -- not unusual in a big city -- but the bed was comfortable, and the decor was fun (I loved the bathroom). The location is great: close to the highway, within walking distance of good restaurants and next to a public parking lot (three days cost $58). Inner Harbor is a bit too far for walking, but it is a short drive. We had brunch at the hotel one morning, and it was very good. Also one of the more affordable options in downtown as well. The staff are friendly and polite. We enjoyed our stay.

Great stay!

We really enjoyed our stay at Hotel Ulysses. The staff was very helpful, the room comfortable and the location was perfect - a short walk from Penn Station and to the inner harbor. Would stay here again!

I recently had the pleasure of staying at Hotel Ulysses, and it was truly a delightful experience. From the moment I arrived, the employees were incredibly friendly and knowledgeable, making me feel right at home. The rooms were beautifully decorated and comfortable, though I did find myself wishing they were a bit larger for added space. One area I think could use some improvement is the food menu; having more options would definitely enhance the dining experience. However, these minor points didn’t overshadow my overall satisfaction. I highly recommend Hotel Ulysses to anyone looking for a pleasant stay with excellent service!

Rooms were super quiet. Loves the character of the place. Would love to come back for a longer stay. Tons of places to eat in the area. Walkable and quiet streets for a city. Tried to get the offsite parking app to work, don’t know why it wasn’t (no fault of hotel) but the staff graciously helped us out with that situation when they could have just blown us off. Thanks for a wonderful stay.
