Location is good for many things, but limited things to do by foot without walking some distance from the hotel. It is kind of an island in a big city downtown. But it does have a good place to eat inside, and Starbucks also attached to the hotel. No pool anymore. Parking is expensive but seems fairly safe. It is possible to walk to Federal Hill from the hotel, but you have to cross 3 busy multi-lane streets and see some seedy folks - a group of younger people would have no problems.
