We are booked in this hotel before a cruise next month. Your video was helpful, informative and humorous. Thank you for a cool preview and helpful hints on this property
Thank you for the comment, and we are so glad you liked this video and found it helpful! Be sure to contact the hotel to get Mr. George’s information so you can set up your transfer to port if you are planning on using the park and stay option offered by the hotel, and have an AMAZING cruise!
One thing to note about cruise parking. They offer a packaged deal that includes that. For me, getting the AAA rate for queen room would've been $179. Getting the cruise package rate made that $204, not including taxes. Includes up to 14 days of parking. As a comparison, the terminal charges $15/day. We are going on a 9 day cruise coming up, so $135. Now, I will need to get transportation from hotel to port and back again as you note. I think its reasonable for me to drop my family off the morning of, then drive back and park at the hotel. Then I can Uber over to the port. If I were feeling squirrelly I could also walk it, but you noted it might be a bit dangerous with the streets the way they are. I think given all this, added on to the "cool" factor of watching the ship dock the morning of, makes this hotel an excellent choice. Your review was very detailed and answered questions I never knew I had. Thanks again.
Thank your for your comment! You are right about the park and stay package being a great deal, I misunderstood the hotel manager when he was explaining parking options or the park and stay rate would have been included in this video. Maybe I can pin a comment explaining this rate, as it really does make this hotel an attractive option for pre cruise stays!
Thanks for commenting! Check the McHenry Row website for an accurate list of restaurants and their times as the burger joint was closed the last time we were here. You can always pick up items at Harris Teeter for a meal in your room, and the bistro in the lobby offers limited hours with tasty bites also!
There are plenty of things to do within McHenry Row that are walking distance but you don’t want to walk to the inner harbor. Traffic patterns are wonky and it’s not safe.
Is it safe to walk to the port from here. You mention how easy it is to drive several times but do I have to uber across the street because we wanted to save a few dollars if we could. Thanks!
Thanks for the comment! I wouldn’t recommend walking, you have to go out and around the McHenry Row complex and the intersections underneath I-95 that you have to cross are a bit chaotic. If I remember right there aren’t crosswalks for foot traffic there. I think it’s just too much with luggage in tow.
Thanks so much I was showing this to my husband and he said the exact same thing. Oh well it couldn't possible be THAT much money for an uber and that way we don't have to deal with dragging luggage anywhere. Thanks again!
@@adriannadavis2056 call the hotel and ask for Mr. George’s information, he does their shuttles and my clients paid $20 per person each way in December, (prices may have gone up slightly bc of the new year) it was pre scheduled and he was there waiting when they got off the ship. Highly recommend!
So happy you went into the laundry, I like to start my cruise out with clean clothes.
Thanks for your comment! I agree, knowing the laundry situation is a must ESPECIALLY before a cruise!
Thank you. We are booked there for our next cruise and its goof to have your perspective.
Thanks for commenting! It’s a great hotel for pre cruise stays out of Baltimore.

Great review, very helpful. Are there many places to eat dinner within walking distance of the hotel?

Can you walk to the inner harbor from there. We might fly in two days before our cruise and just walk around on one day.
