Description: For more than 50 years, the downtown YMCA was housed at this address. When the Comfort Inn bought it and renovated it for a hotel, it traded the swimming pools for underground parking. A little later on, the Baltimore International College took over the site in 1994 and completely renovated the building, and redecorated the lobby and in-house Bay Atlantic Café in 2008. It offers 135 rooms on nine floors, including single, double, and wheelchair-accessible rooms and bi-level lofts and Jacuzzi suites. Parking is available on-site for an extra $14 a night. Pets are not allowed.

Address: 120 East Redwood St.
Description: When is a bank not a bank? When the building’s exterior notes that it’s the former Manufacturer’s Building and Trust. And, who could deny the stability of this bank by the impression of this edifice? The interior was converted into an all-suite hotel. Each of the 99 suites has a pantry area with a small refrigerator, wet bar, and microwave; free high-speed Internet and local calls (all public areas have wireless access); and complimentary continental breakfast. A 24-hour exercise room has cardiovascular equipment, elliptical machine, and treadmills. Valet parking is $28.

29. Best Western Hotel & Conference Center
City: Baltimore, MD
Category: Accommodations
Telephone: (410) 633-9500, (800) 633-9511
Address: 5625 O’Donnell St. and I-95
Description: When travelers were looking for a place with easy I-95 access, this travel plaza was a great choice. Then, a couple of years ago Toby Orenstein opened a satellite station of her famed Toby’s Dinner Theatre out here (www.tobysdinnertheatre.com). What a concept! Tour group operators love it because the driver takes the group to the hotel, they check in, they eat, they enjoy the evening’s entertainment, and the bus doesn’t move one bit. The convenience is great, but the secret also lies with Toby and her energy and talent. Another joy to staying here is an indoor pool, a free local shuttle, and a Greyhound bus station on the premises.
