crazycruzer68 Posted March 4, 2015 #1 Share Posted March 4, 2015 We are a fairly large group going on the Pride in October, some in the group are checking into hotels in Baltimore and safety has became on issue for them. Are there any areas that we should stay away from? Currently looking at the Embassy downtown Inner Harbor, how is that area? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rdmurray Posted March 4, 2015 #2 Share Posted March 4, 2015 I was there in July and it was super crowded because of the 4th. We stayed near Inner harbor and didn't have any problems or feel unsafe. Did see a man get arrested for fighting with a cop, and some kids being ridiculous/screaming to be dramatic, but I live in Boston and that's happened here too. The free buses are great to get around and the train is easy peasy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare mskaufman Posted March 4, 2015 #4 Share Posted March 4, 2015 The downtown/Inner harbor/Little Italy areas are all fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trixiegal Posted March 7, 2015 #5 Share Posted March 7, 2015 Don't watch "The Wire" and you'll be fine! This made me LOL! If you make a wrong turn in downtown Bmore, you might think you're on that show. All of the Inner Harbor area is safe and the waterfront is beautiful in warm weather. Go on yelp.com for some great restaurant recommendations. Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heziggy Posted March 8, 2015 #6 Share Posted March 8, 2015 we stayed at the residence inn which i believe is a block or so away. we stayed from thanksgiving to the Saturday. we felt safe walking around the waterfront and to a couple of restaurants, even at night. i believe we were about 3 blocks from the aquarium.

trish1c Posted March 9, 2015 #7 Share Posted March 9, 2015 Safety is an issue everywhere, including the town where you currently live. I have stayed at the Embassy Suites hotel you are looking at. It's a lousy hotel IMO. It was the worst Embassy ever -- smells like fried food, holes in the blankets, clogged sinks, understaffed, freezing in the hallways which are like wind tunnels. It's about a block above the state courthouse complex & across from the public defender's office. However, I never felt particularly unsafe. It's well lit. There's a nearby Charm City Circulator stop & it's only about 4-5 blocks from the harbor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
