Baltimore caters to the business traveler -- there are more than 6,600 hotel rooms downtown, with all the expected amenities -- but has only a few B&Bs and inns.
It can be hard to find a double for under $100 during the week, but some hotels offer weekend rates and packages that represent savings of 35% to 50% off normal Sunday through Thursday tariffs. So don't be scared off by midweek rates -- come on a weekend instead.
Every hotel listed is accessible to travelers with disabilities, although specific amenities vary from place to place.

An alternative to staying downtown and worrying about parking -- especially if you plan to see only the Inner Harbor attractions -- is a hotel near Baltimore/Washington International Thurgood Marshall Airport that offers free shuttle service to the North Linthicum Light Rail station. About 15 airport hotels have such shuttles. From North Linthicum, it's a 15-minute ride to the Camden Yards station, which is just 6 blocks from the Inner Harbor.
