Tru By Hilton Baltimore Harbor East is worth booking for travellers who want a well-rated, walkable base near Little Italy and the Inner Harbor at a lower price than most of the city. Drivers should budget for parking, and anyone after a design hotel should look at our Luxury pick instead.

This is our Budget pick for Baltimore. It works for couples and solo travellers who want to walk to the waterfront neighbourhoods and need a gym, air conditioning and free Wi-Fi rather than extras.
Pet owners may also look here, since pets appear in the property's tags. Check the pet policy and any fee before you book.
If you are driving and want free parking, think twice. Guests say parking adds extra cost. If you want a more upscale stay, our Luxury pick was cheaper than our Best Value pick on the reference dates, which is worth a look.
Location and getting around
The address is 411 S Central Avenue, in the Little Italy area. Guests say it is walkable to the Inner Harbor, Fells Point and Little Italy, and that there is a parking garage opposite.
Straight-line walking estimates to the main sights: the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary is about 1.7 km, roughly 21 minutes. The Walters Art Museum is about 1.9 km, around 24 minutes. Oriole Park at Camden Yards is about 2 km, close to 25 minutes.
All three are within a reasonable walk, but real routes can run longer than these estimates. The location score from guests is 9.0 out of 10.
What guests say
Guests rate the hotel 8.7 out of 10 across 1,272 reviews. That placed it joint third on review score among 13 eligible properties.
On the plus side, guests mention the walkable location and a friendly, helpful team who give a warm welcome and help with local directions.
The main complaint is cost on top of the room. Rates feel reasonable for the area, but parking adds an extra charge. If you are bringing a car, include that in your budget.
