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 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. -

Why not 5 stars, like everybody else?
This is a lovely spot, with "lovely" (meaning high) prices to match. The room was beautiful, and the staff were friendly. We were off to a good start at check-in.
But then...
On our visit, there was a large wedding party that commandeered the entire place. We were the only "non-wedding" guests. The staff were occupied elsewhere, with other folks. The cook (singular...only one poor guy) could not keep up with the breakfast orders.
Our order came 45 minutes after its turn-in.
Uh-oh.
The best was yet to come.
The bridal party drank, caroused and generally acted like drunken oafs in the courtyard until 4 A.M.
No kidding.
I could understand if this happened at a cheap Days Inn. But 1840's? C'mon folks! Are times that tough?
No staff intervention whatsoever. The old guy (bless him) that watched the night-shift was completely outmatched and outnumbered.
Soooooo...
If you plan to stay there, be SURE to ask if there are any groups scheduled or on site!!
Otherwise, you pays your money and takes your chances.
(To be fair, management did comp our sleepless night with drunken revelers) -

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!

My wife and I stayed here after we purchased the groupon and we will be back for sure. Great rooms, great staff, great location and great breakfast. It's got the prefect mix of history and modern comfort. From the ornate fixtures on the wall that feel straight out of Gone with the Wind to flat screen TVs and electric fireplaces. A great stay!
