Ulysses, an Ash Hotel

What a FABULOUS hotel with an AWESOME staff!! From the moment I checked in, the staff was on it. Extremely smooth check in. Very helpful at answering questions and fulfilling requests. The hotel is impeccably clean. My room was spotless. The hotel itself has so much character and charm it’s hard to take it all in. The food onsite was top notch.  They are centrally located within walking distance to any nightlife activity you may want to partake in. My entire stay was FABULOUS!! I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone staying in the Baltimore area. I will definitely be coming back to stay again. Thank you for an awesome trip!

Every detail was so beautiful, so pristine and had great quality. Not a single thing was made with cheap plastic, everything from furniture to decorations were genuine good quality items. Good sign hangers on the doors, well tiled bathroom, great light fixtures. No ordinary boring hotel, so unique and great service. Staff was so so friendly!

Cafe for breakfast was very comfortable and inviting, only baked goods and drinks. Many restaurants within walking distance. Great location for tourists, right on bus line, several cultural institutions within walking distance--especially The Walters.

I can't say enough about how excellent Ulysses is—from the lovely atmosphere, to the awesome staff, to its perfect location. Once you walk in the door, you know you're somewhere special; the lobby details are lovely, and it's easy to spot the big blue awning outside when you're trying to find the place (very helpful when you're first learning your way around the neighborhood). The staff was truly great. I really liked everyone I interacted with; they were very warm and friendly. I especially liked the folks at the front desk. They had my room ready early, which of course isn't guaranteed, but was so nice after a long train ride. The room itself was adorable and very clean; I had a Queen, and everything was done in up pinks. The toiletries they provide–shampoo, conditioner, body wash, hand soap, and lotion–smelled heavenly, and were a nice little touch. I also had a beautiful view of the city. This was my first time in Baltimore and I wasn't entirely sure about the location, but the Mount Vernon neighborhood is fantastic, and Ulysses is perfectly situated in the middle of it. You're just a few blocks from the Walters Art Museum, the Peabody Library, the history and culture museum, and other cool attractions. You also have a fair amount of food options nearby, including Greek place right across the street, and some very pretty spots like the Owl Bar, and an excellent Spanish restaurant in walking distance. There's also the hotel restaurant, which was good for breakfast and a pre-dinner cocktail (I didn't try their lunch or dinner, but the menu sounded good). I had such a good experience with Ulysses that I actually decided to stay another night, which the staff was wonderfully accommodating about. This is definitely going to be my go-to hotel in the city. Highly recommend!

The hotel smells clean and is very clean. The room furnishings were so neat and appropriate for the building. The mattress, bedding and pillows were extremely comfortable. The bar is a moody, cool place to have a drink or dinner.
