Best Hotels With Free Breakfast In Baltimore

One of the virtues of travel is getting to try out the local fare. Baltimore is famous for its food, especially its variety of crab dishes in the harbor area and its pasta in Little Italy. However, when you roll out of bed in the morning, the last thing you want to do is wander out into the city streets looking for a good breakfast. Fortunately for you, there are a few hotels in Baltimore that offer a free, hot breakfast along with your stay. Take a look.

Homewood Suites is more than just a name. Every room is, in fact, a suite; each outfitted with its own living room and full kitchen. For business or relaxation, Homewood Suites in Baltimore is ideal. Located close to the Baltimore Convention Center, it allows business travelers to get where they are going with ease. Recreational visitors will enjoy forays into the wide variety of cultural and restaurant locations around.
