The hotel itself was good accommodations. Room was clean and well designed. Staff did not accurately communicate how parking worked with the designated lot creating some issues. Lot is isolated about a block away and accessible by a narrow alley.

I love a good unique stay which is what Ulysses was but it lacked some basic accommodations.. also the parking is super weird and it's crazy that they don't offer valet parking .. I also think it's weird that your not able to control the heat and or air individually in your room

This is my fourth time staying at Ulysses and everything was excellent as usual. The staff were super friendly (the check in lady even congratulated my husband and I on our recent marriage!), the room was clean and comfortable, and I felt taken care of throughout my stay. Can’t wait to come back again!
My Very Good pancakes with blackberries and blueberries-delicious!

Wonderful courteous staff and very clean rooms. The only reason it's not five star is because there was no assistance with my luggage, including no ramp into the building. I am an older woman and generally need assistance with that. This hotel has a lot of character

Disliked: Amenities
My experience at this hotel was disappointing. I had been on the road all day driving since 5 am, and attending a funeral. The hotel’s eclectic design is as described; the room furnishings were very comfortable, and the staff were polite. However, this could not make up for a host of inconveniences. In a nutshell: 1. Parking was a disaster. No valet service. After much ado, I received complimentary parking. The front steps are steep with a heavy front door and no walk-up ramp. 2. No hot water/coffee pot in the room. 3. No phones in the room. I was later told they use Google Chat. 4. The room was freezing and the thermostat was not adjustable. 5. I could not turn off the lights in the bedroom or bathroom. 6. Staff response times can be improved. Maybe this was a 'smart'room? Some FAQs or an information packet detailing all the above would have been most helpful and might have improved my experience. I cannot recommend..

I usually stay at Ulysses when I am in Baltimore, but this time my credit card was offering a stay at a nearby hotel and, I made the terrible mistake of spending the night there and the next morning immediately vacated and went to Ulysses! The staff is always very nice and the hotel always smells divine!
