Hotwire Hotel: 2.5* Baltimore (Downtown-Inner Harbor) Mount Vernon Hotel

[JonD]

Thanks to this site, which was recommended by a friend, I was able to match up the Mount Vernon Hotel to Hotwire's offer last night for $55/night for two nights, and this is on the busy Preakness weekend apparently. After I booked my room, it looks like Mount Vernon Hotel became completely filled, too, since I can't find any reservations for it on any other site now. I'm hoping to not get one of their double bed rooms and just a queen or king room. Has anyone had luck requesting that over phone with this hotel?

I'm in for the weekend for a wedding in the area, actually Owings Mills area, so we're planning on taking the Metro to the Owings Mills Mall and taking a cab the last half mile to the location and doing the same thing on the way back. Does that sound doable or should I just deal with a big cab far to-and-fro?

Congratulations on your success and Welcome to Betterbidding. :)

Superb deal for this property, especially on what would appear to be a busier weekend. Specific bedding is not guaranteed via HOTWIRE; you can make a request via the hotel, but it is a "request" and not guaranteed.

Can you confirm the amenity icons that were showing with this listing? Thank you.

Thank you for sharing your result with the board. Please use the site's HOTWIRE or PRICELINE links to start your purchases and searches.

Enjoy your stay.

Whoops, here are the amenities listed by Hotwire:

Fitness Center, Restaurant(s), Business Center

In reality, the hotel looks like they have many more amenities than this, like Smoke-Free and High Speed Internet and Complimentary Breakfast if you check their website. It seems really underrated for a 2.5*. I have a friend whose family has stayed there several times in the past few years and loved it.
