Innkeeper Response
I guess some people just do not like gourmet breakfasts well served by an attentive staff on beautiful antique china with sterling flatware and crystal glassware. Most rave about the food! It really is too bad they did not tell us the breakfast was not to their liking because we would have been happy to fix them eggs and toast, or hot cereal, or whatever they like and we have in the house.

Innkeeper Response
We normally do not comment but this one is so odd we feel we need to respond. The fact the guest felt trapped in her room during the party is unfortunate but speaks more to her than to the house. The party was with our neighbors who had their homes open the next day for our annual historical home and garden tour. Most of the attendees have advanced degrees and it was a very quiet party with great conversation and soft classical music. All guests were welcome and most attended, reporting they had a great time. It was in two of the five living areas in the house. The guest had her choice of the other three areas, two of which have TVs. The party ended about 9:30, with a few hanging around to help clean up for another hour. Second, It does not take anything like an hour to get to the Inner Harbor. Suspect she got off on the wrong stop or something. We are truly sorry she got lost, but we did show her the way the previous day, as she mentions. We are indeed, 250 yards from a light rail stop. It takes 12 minute, at most, on the light rail to get into the heart of downtown. Several guests report you can walk it in less than 35 minutes. It takes us 40, but Guy has a bad knee. The distance from the correct stop to her meeting site is about 325 yards. That took an hour? Suspect it was the ride through Baltimore's version of Harlem, called Lexington Market, that really bothered her and she does not have the nerve to say it. Lexington Market is a very interesting, historic place and we recommend it to all. Finally, it is a bit noisy OUTSIDE this house, but not IN it. A/Cs (there is one in every guest room)on low completely mask the murmur of traffic during the summer. In the winter the sound is that of a distant river or seashore. If that level of noise bothers someone they should not visit a city or town which has cars in it. Cheers, Guy & Clelia

Review Wilson House, Baltimore, MD

Photo Album

The music palor just off the main entrance.  Part of a unique two parlor design which gives two areas that can be easily joined for large parties.The Dining Room seats 8 easily and can accomodate 12.  The Living Room and Parlor could hold a table for 16.  Fireplace casts a warm glow over winter meals.
Looking from the Music Parlor into the Living Room. 

These are the rooms in 1912 in which William Jennings Bryant, leader of the Democratic party at the time, and partner of the owner of this house, is said to have made the decision to go with Wilson as the party nominee.The Woodrow Wilson Room is a large comfortable room with a newly renovated private bath.
Woodrow Wilson gave his acceptance speach for the democratic party nomination from the second floor balcony pictured here.  This is ther front half of the house as seen from Mt. Royal Terrace.  The home is a good bit bigger than this.The Master Bedroom of the Peacock suite with its kingbed and wonderful old wall paper.  

The sitting room has very comfortable queen-sized sofa bed.
Great view of the city from both rooms.

Many say this photo does not begin to do this suite  justice, but we are limited to only ten photos here.  See web-site for more details.
The Flower Room.

Great View from its balcony.

All new bath.A very comfortable corner room with a huge closet with a writing desk.  Its private bath has the biggest antique claw-footed tub in the building.
Elegant and cozy, the apartment can sleep 4.  A fully equipped kitchen invites long stays.  Special rates avaialbe for stays over 4 days.  Best Chandler in the house.The Music Parlor.  

Scene of numrous parties over the past 100 years, including cast parties for the Baltimore Opera, and other area classical music groups.
