1840s Carrollton Inn

We stayed here based on Unilocal reviews. I was very nicely surprised about how great it was. Food was delicious and amenities were all there. I would definitely go back.

My wife and I stayed here over our 4^th of July weekend visit to Baltimore. Without knowing how busy the inn was going to be we made our reservations at the beginning of May for the Congressional Room. The Congressional room has a queen sized bed with a marble fireplace and a single whirlpool tub. However whenever we checked in we found out that they weren’t fully booked for the weekend and so we were complimentary upgraded to the Congressional Suite. This suite had a king sized four poster bed, double whirlpool tub and a separate sitting room with a marble fireplace and daybed. It’s probably needless to say that we were ecstatic with the upgrade. The room was easily the nicest room that we have ever stayed at in a B & B. Everything about the room was posh and elegant and we loved staying in it.
One of the nicest things about this B & B was how they did breakfast. You have to remember that they are probably bigger than most B & B’s and have more rooms on the way. Anyways the night before breakfast you are given a giant sheet of paper with a huge number of choices on it and you can pick as many as you want. The sheet sort of reminded me of a giant sushi order form. So you mark all of your choices on it and also give them the time that you want breakfast as well as whether you will take it in your room, the courtyard or the dining room. Lastly there is an option to get coffee before breakfast in which case they will bring it at the requested time and leave it outside your door. Can you say awesome? It was almost like having room service instead of staying at a B & B. I know that may turn some people off but I really enjoyed it as did my wife. The first morning we were there we ended up taking breakfast in our room while the second morning we took breakfast in their beautiful courtyard.
Last but not least the staff here were incredibly nice and all very pleasant. As a matter of a fact the front desk person overhead us talking about where to go in Little Italy one evening and made reservations for us at his personal favorite restaurant. Now that is great service!
The bottom line for me is that my wife and I will definitely stay here again in the future. It has a great location near the inner harbor and we thought that everything about it was awesome.

So we just keep coming back. We try to come here at least once a year. Folks here are friendly. Accommodations are excellent. Breakfast is so delicious. We’ve been here at least five times in the last 4 years and will keep coming back for our weekend getaway. Did I mention affordable!!!

I’ve now stayed in three different rooms at the 1840s Carrollton Inn and each one has been spacious, historic, beautiful, comfortable and very special. That last adjective being the most important: this is a special place. The staff is wonderful and helpful, the location is fantastic — walk 2 minutes to Little Italy, 10 minutes to East Harbor, 15 minutes to the center of Inner Harbor, 20 minutes to Camden Yards, the breakfast is delicious and plentiful, plus they have vegetarian, vegan and gluten free menus, and the rooms are extremely well appointed, furnished and stocked. Again, this is a special place, it’s not a chain hotel (nothing wrong with chain hotels of course), it’s a one of kind location in the middle of Baltimore, that has very real possibility of becoming one of «your» places that you and your spouse look forward to returning to.
There is one caveat, they do host a number of wedding parties, so you do run the risk of people celebrating on a Friday or Saturday evening, but so goes life, and if you are going to begrudge people for drinking and being loud at a venue that caters to weddings and celebrations, then I believe you are the one with the problem, not the hotel ;)
Wonderful place, stay there for someplace special with someone special.

This is a great place to stay in Baltimore! I didn’t have a rental car, so being close to restaurants, etc. was a must and this place is in a great area. Two blocks from Little Italy, and very close to shopping and other restaurants.
My room was beautiful. The bed was very comfortable — lots of pillows! I liked having a table with chairs to sit at for eating or doing stuff on my laptop. The wifi worked great. There was some traffic noise during morning and evening rush hours, but it didn’t last forever.
Another winner for me was being able to order the breakfast to be delivered to my room. I loved being able to stay in my pi’s and enjoy a fresh, hot breakfast with a pot of coffee! The food was very good and you can order almost anything you want. (I ordered eggs Benedict twice and scrambled eggs with feta once — very delicious!)
This is NOT a mom-​and-​pop kinda B&B, where they hold your hand every step of the way, and I was more than fine with that. This really is more of an «inn» feel. However, I found the staff very accommodating (let me check in a bit early and check out a bit late), friendly, and attentive when needed.

We had a wonderful time here for my husband’s 50^th birthday — the suite was huge and gorgeous, breakfast was delicious. We felt very pampered. The romance package add on was worth it — they decorated the room while we were at dinner; came back to a room full of lit candles, rose petals everywhere, a dozen roses and chocolates. Very pretty inn, within walking distance to the Inner Harbor. We look forward to our next visit!

Our overnight stay was amazing! The staff we made reservations with, the staff we checked in with, everyone we encountered was amazing as well. There was a rose in 2 chocolates on our bed we stayed in the scholars room which is supposed to be the biggest room that’s not a sweet. It had a four post king size bed with the most comfortable mattress and linens I’ve experienced in quite some time. The beautiful marble fireplace kept us warm. The ornate fixtures in the bathroom the cozy double whirlpool tub we’re heavenly and truly helps with the relaxation there. It had many comforts like a microwave refrigerator coffee mugs and wine glasses and a coffee maker. Drinks are available anytime. Complimentary water and soda was also available. We chose to have our breakfast in the room and it was delicious. I highly recommend the house but amazing! All the food was hot and absolutely delicious. It’s located perfectly near Little Italy a short walk to the Inner Harbor and parking for the most part is free. I really recommend this for a weekend getaway or guests coming into town great for a romantic time or just relaxation by yourself.

I can’t say enough great things about this this inn. From the gorgeous décor to the attentive staff to the fabulous food, everything is perfect. You don’t get a lot of gems like this in a big city, that’s for sure.
The rooms are beautiful, each with it’s own setup of colors and furniture that really make you feel like you’re on a movie set. The bathrooms are glorious — big Jacuzzi tubs with a shower as well, roomy and clean. The outside courtyard is perfect for relaxing in the spring or summer. The food, especially the breakfast, is better than anything I’ve had in a full-​on restaurant in the area. If you’re looking for a hotel for an event, or just a mini getaway, THIS is the place for you!

I’ve stayed at a lot of hotels, B&Bs, and «inns,» and this is the first independent establishment that has actually delivered on its promise. The décor is beautiful, the bathroom is splendid (in room 103, at any rate — double jacuzzi tub plus separate shower!), the food is astonishingly good (possibly the best eggs Benedict I’ve had), and the service is kind and attentive. We spent the night here after our tiny wedding down the street, and they made the occasion even more special.

It is always a pleasure to stay here. I stayed for the second time in May. They upgraded my room free. Breakfast is always wonderful and included. They choices are excellent. I love that they serve coffee to your room early in the morning. It is great to have while preparing for the day. The inn is very clean and the staff is extremely accommodating.
I had a work seminar to go to and they allowed me to leave my luggage secured in the back room after check out. One of my best experiences ever! Thank you!

Omg me and my boyfriend came here for a mini vacation adam and richard were the best we are coming here every year breakfast is the best the room was beautiful highly thinking about getting married here

I can’t think of anything negative to say about this place. My husband and I live 20 minutes away yet will most likely continue to stay here once or twice a year. We’ve been four times (seven nights total) and our favorite room is the Scholar’s Room.
The décor is so beautiful and exquisite that even if you’re super macho (like my husband) or not too into that sort of thing (like me) you will find yourself transfixed all the same. The ambiance of the room will make you feel romanced and at rest. I cannot get enough. The bathroom especially makes you feel like you are high-​class livin’. Double whirlpool bath = WIN. The bed is like something from the home of a Victorian royal. I’ve never been in a room so adorned. Lovely, intimate, cozy, beautiful. I could go on and on.
One of my favorite features is the made-​to-​order breakfast delivered when you want. The french toast is DELICIOUS. We load up on everything as it’s all included: omelets, french toast, bananas and walnuts drizzled with honey, crispy bacon. We eat it while wearing the robes that are in the closet upon arrival.
You feel like you’re in some remote, faraway place only to step outside and be a ten-​minute walk to the Inner Harbor.
I cannot wait until our next stay at the Carrollton.

My husband and I stayed at this inn for one night before a cruise last May. I wasn’t going to bother to write a review, but for some reason they’ve been bombarding me with emails in the last week asking me to write a review, so I decided to finally give them what they want, and if my lackluster rating brings down their average here, that’s what they get for being so annoying about it.
There’s absolutely nothing wrong with the 1840’s Carrollton Inn, but there’s not much right about it, either. My personal preference is for the kind of bed and breakfast run by an old lady who looks like your grandma and has two cute cats, who makes heart-​shaped pancakes for breakfast and decorates each room with doilies that she crocheted herself. In other words, I like cute and cozy. The Carrollton Inn is not that kind of B&B. The furniture in all the rooms is very beautiful and historically accurate, but I kept being afraid to touch it or sit on it. Instead of a welcoming proprietor who is always there, you get a rotating staff of young and eager desk clerks, just like at any other hotel or motel. The parking situation is very complicated and takes a lot of explaining. You have to eat breakfast in a common room at the same time as everybody else, but for some reason you have to make your choices from the menu the night before.
Like I said, nothing was really wrong with our stay, and I guess there might be some people out there who take what I saw as «stiff and formal» as «classic and elegant,» but since they have been so insistent that I share my opinion with the world, I’m putting it out there!

Awesome place to stay in Baltimore. Great location. Clean and very friendly. Charming and rich in history.

The beginning of this journey began when I was looking for a nice place to stay the night after a showing at the hippodrome. I found this historical inn. When we arrived to the 1840’s Carrollton Inn, we were greeted by a proper young lady named Katelyn! She assisted us in every question we had due to our lack of knowledge of the area! She guided us with safe walking areas and directions that we needed! When she took us up to the room she showed us the ins and outs! However something was missing in the room that was preorder! After Katelyn left I went down to ask her if she knew anything about it! She stated that when purchasing the «wine and goody» basket it is through a catering company. She didn’t know why it wasn’t there, however, I could tell that she was just as upset as I was! She informed me that she would take care of it and all set when we arrived back from the show! Once we arrived back, we walked in the room, Katelyn accomplished her mission and made our stay at the inn a long lasting memory!!! Thanks to Katelyn and her positive attitude, dedication and service to the inn and visitors should be recognized!!! Once again, thank you Katelyn for making our stay perfect to the T!!! :)

My boyfriend and I stayed here recently for a long weekend getaway. It is very charming and the location is wonderful. We were able to walk everywhere which for us is a ++. However we had room 103 located next to the kitchen. We were awaken every morning at 5:00 am ish. I am not sure what was the cause of the daily banging but it usually lasted till around 7:30 am or so. Thank goodness we were able to take a nap in the afternoon. Well almost… on Friday, there was a group of people which I believe were employees and friends all gathered in the kitchen and the lobby. So the noise level was a little loud. I may eventually stay here again but I would definitely not stay on the first floor. I would hope the second floor would be a lot less noisy.

The peaceful gem in the middle of the city. This b&b is also listed in the distinguished inns of america (deservingly so)
I will have to agree with Nicole R’s review of this inn. i was a part of a wedding here in October. The wedding was a last-​minute one that was literally planned in 24 hours. This location was historic, beautiful and had an extremely helpful staff to arrange for elopment packages. The rooms were goregeous and had a luxurious feel to it. The courtyard where the wedding was held was stunning. The brick patio was sufficiently shaded by tress and the ivy covered wall served as a beatiful backdrop.
The staff let the wedding party check in early and even came to clean the room after the pre-​wedding disaster we created. The Independence Suite was a 3 room suite (sitting room with daybed, desk, fireplace, and flatscreen bathroom with jacuzzi, steamshower complete with river rock floor and beautiful finishing touches. The bedroom had walls covered in fabric with furniture made from dark heavy wood. The entire room was spacious and walked straight into the courtyard. There was another wedidng party, but the rooms were very quiet.
In the morning, the coffee came just as we had requested (prior to the breakfast) and the breakfast came at the appointed time complete with a mini-​table outside our room so we would be able to pull the entire table in. It was delicious — everything was perfectly done to order. The raspberry pancakes were light and fluffy. The eggs were not overdone…
our entire stay was simply amazing.
THE ONLY complaint was that the price for more than 20 people for a ceremony is $ 900 and the price for less than 20 is $ 600. We had exactly 19 people but were not refunded any money

Best value around… period. This room was so luxurious, I would have paid quadruple for the same room in a high-​end hotel. The bathroom was bigger than most hotel rooms. The sunken whirlpool and huge walk-​in shower was great. There was enough granite and marble in there to do several large kitchens. The staff was friendly and helpful. We had a large suite on the first floor which was my only complaint. The first floor in Little Italy is going to be a bit noisy at night. You will hear the bus stop but the heavy drapes did dampen the noise. I’ll still stay there again… soon. YOu should too!

This is a great little place with a real historic feel. The suite was really nice with everything I need and the staff was very pleasant and helpful. Just two blocks from Little Italy too! I highly recommend 1840 Carrollton Inn for a fun change of pace. The breakfast was awesome too!

This is a beautifully appointed Bed & Breakfast in downtown Baltimore (Jonestown). I found it on Trip Advisor and it was highly recommended so my boyfriend and I decided to treat ourselves to a brief weekend getaway.
This property is full of history and beauty. It has been restored recently and has been tastefully decorated right down to every last detail. We stayed in the Diplomat Suite which had a bit of a masculine flair to it. The room was so clean and had plenty of amenities (mini-​fridge, microwave, whirlpool tub, spacious bathroom, super comfy bed with feather pillows, Wi-​Fi, etc.)
The highlight of the stay was definitely the breakfast. We ate in the large dining room which I highly recommend. The pancakes and omelets were scrumptious and they will cook according to your dietary needs. I don’t eat pork, so they were happy to cook turkey bacon and sausage for me.
The outdoor gardens are beautiful; the Inn hosts many weddings, events and receptions. My only complaint was the noise level in the bedroom at night. However, I cannot justify giving this 4 stars because we did stay on a Saturday evening and the weather was gorgeous; many people were out and about. I plan ahead since I’m a light sleeper and since I brought along my «white-​noise» machine, it helped cancel out some of the road noise.
Overall, I really enjoyed staying here and would definitely come back and try another room.
