Rented out the room which the toilet did not work. The front desk was not helpful at all. After I reported this to Expedia and Expedia communicated with Ulysses, hotel front desk and the manager promised to refund the first night credit. But they refused to refund the credit up to now.

The rooms were really nice, the lighting in the room needs to be brighter. Only 1 mirror and that is in the bathroom need another one for 2 people getting ready. The shower was super nice. Parking there isn’t any had to walk a block over to park and we had to pay to park. No lot for hotel. It was a nice hotel!

The Ulysses is such an incredible place! I’ve never before stayedin such a unique, historic hotel. The room was comfortable and kept perfectly clean. It was within walking distance to some great coffee shops. The staff was extremely kind and accommodated my very late arrival due to flight delays. Thank you!

We stayed in room 915, The II Gattopardo at Hotel Ulysses was absolutely stunning, with every detail beautifully crafted. The linens were custom-made, and the vintage pieces added a unique touch. The shower and freestanding bathtub were simply breathtaking. However, the room was really cold, and unfortunately, guests can’t control the heat themselves as the hotel manages the temperature. There was also no phone in the room, so I had to use my cellphone to contact the hotel. When I DoorDashed an order, I was told it’s hotel policy not to bring anything to the guest rooms, except for towels, though we didn’t need any, so I can’t speak to that. While the hotel excels in aesthetics, it falls short in providing the full luxury hotel experience. Having stayed at luxury hotels before, I expected the service to match the beauty, but I was disappointed. For $400 a night, I expected more than just complimentary coffee after check-out. Overall, the staff weren’t very hospitable. They were very kind but service was average. They didn’t offer assistance with our bags, and they seemed stressed, overwhelmed, and understaffed at both the Ash bar and Blooms. In summary, staying at Hotel Ulysses felt like going on a date with a dangerously beautiful woman, only to find you have nothing to talk about—underwhelming, but undeniably nice to look at.

This place was very nice. We only got to spend one night here. But we will def be back! Clean. Great staff. The place is not your average hotel experience. But it was cute and clean and friendly. The ONLY downfall is the parking. Had to park around the corner (2 min walk) and not on the property. But no inconvenience unless theres BAD weather. But we will def be back!

Very stylish and thoughtful touches everywhere. Loved the complimentary Baltimore magazine and NYTimes. The Coral Wig cocktail bar under the hotel was stellar, too.
