Since there isn't a designated conference center hotel - I was looking in a=20
guidebook for Baltimore and "unusual" hotels - found one which was listed as=

either "adjacent to" or "near" the convention center =E2=80=A6=E2=80=A6 went=
on to say=20
something to the effect that "this area is dangerous and not a good place to=

night" =E2=80=A6=E2=80=A6 not the usual fare of travel guides =E2=80=A6. Any=
one from Baltimore have any=20
comment on the convention center area?

The best and safest hotels are near that convention center:they call this=20

Museum---a MUST SEE!
Surrounding this area are the following hotels:
the Marriott, Days Inn, Holiday Inn, Harbor Court, Hyatt, Sheraton.
I have stayed at the Marriott (very nice), Sheraton (overpriced for the hote=

friends stay at the Holiday Inn....when I have done the ACC show there.
The Econolodges, Budget hotels are out of town, as far as I know.
There are many others but the others are in a downtown area where you would=20
not feel comfortable walking either night or day.
Hope that is helpful!

And Yes, I have walked around the convention center many a night and feel
totally safe doing so ...not sure if it is the second degree green belt
training....or rather that is seems to be a safe area. Of course, like most major
cities there are panhandlers, that may approach....but you each deal with that as
you do.
