Welcome to BetterBidding!

This property has not yet been identified, and for $53 for a 2* this doesn't sound like too much of a deal. I wouldn't expect much more than a Ramada, HoJo, Days Inn, or something similar.

Do you need to be in this particular zone for this stay?

Thanks!

No, I don't need to be in Baltimore West. I just wanted to find a hotel that has free parking, so I figured that was more likely in the outskirts. However, I'll be in the area for Johns Hopkins Hospital, so I don't want to be too far out.

I don't know how much parking is in this area, but i think there is much better value to be had in the Downtown-Inner Harbor zone due to competition among the area hotels. Sure, there will likely be a charge for parking, but i think parking included (and perhaps you can find a lot separate from the hotel) you'd still be looking at a better "deal" Downtown... at least personally i'd rather spend $100 (including parking) for a $200 hotel than spend $60 with free parking for a $90 hotel.

The Downtown area also seems much closer than the West zone, no?

I ended up not using Hotwire for this hotel decision since I didn't want to end up in a bad part of Baltimore.
