Renaissance Baltimore Harborplace Hotel
The staff super friendly and helpful. Room and hotel very nice in general. It was okay clean except for quarter-sized bright blue stain on top bed pillow (likely stain), REALLY needs good vacuuming behind bedside tables and in corners of room with built up dust and debris....some small hairs in shower ...
