Frommer's Review

Be prepared for something wild when you walk into the lobby of the Pier 5. It's bright and airy, with fun, offbeat sofas and a purple, red, and yellow color scheme. The rooms continue the theme, though they're much quieter and more refined. Standard units are comfortable, with lots of conveniences for both business and leisure travelers. Suites are luxurious, with one, two, or even three tiny balconies overlooking the harbor or the National Aquarium. Just about every room has a water view -- and a much closer one than at any of the other hotels, as this place is only two stories high and right on the harbor. Ask about their packages for family fun or romance. The Pier 5 Cafe is open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner; McCormick & Schmick's offers lunch and dinner; and Ruth's Chris Steak House serves dinner.

Facilities:
3 restaurants; access to exercise room at Brookshire Suites; complimentary shuttle to Brookshire Suites, Admiral Fell Inn, and Johns Hopkins Hospital; free weekend activities; Wi-Fi in lobby

About Our System

Frommer's ranks every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment it reviews for quality, value, service, amenities, and special features using a star-rating scale, an expression of the strong compare-and-contrast opinions that are a brand hallmark.

Other ratings provide stars based primarily on price and amenities; the Frommer's star rating is meant to quantify the kind of intangible, experiential elements that help travelers make informed decisions.

The "baseline" recommendation is zero stars--every hotel, restaurant, attraction, shop, and nightlife establishment that Frommer's chooses to review is recommended; otherwise, we simply wouldn't include it.
