I was staying in Radisson Plaza from Sept 28 till Sept 29, 2010.

The impression is not the best even though it is 3* hotel. I was staying in some 2.5* hotels which were more comfortable and cozy.

This particular hotel is dark inside, does not have a modern TV set and TV channels are limited in number to 10-15 or something like that. Room was pretty small and with one bed. The good thing is that I read about it in advance on this forum and took inflatable bed with me, because the hotel tries to charge you an extra $20 for a room with two beds.

Another thing is that this hotel does not have its own parking. They provide you a discount rate for a public parking - $15 (which is pretty close to the hotel). But it is public and there is no security. Although Radisson provides the valet parking for $30 (twice as much as self parking) they still use the same public parking lot with no security.

First discount parking ticket provided by the hotel clerk to me was not valid and I had to drive back to the hotel and get the new one - not good and not very comfortable keeping in mind the traffic in Baltimore and lots of "one way" roads.

Hotel staff were friendly and this improved my impression about the hotel a little bit.

This hotel needs renovation for sure. After staying in Radisson Plaza Lord Baltimore I've realized that I'm becoming the Hyatt fan.

Thanks for the follow-up!

Sorry this hotel didn't live up to your expectations, but nice to see that the staff tried hard.
