The Blue Door on Baltimore Bed and Breakfast Reviews

My wife and I spent a night at The Blue Door for our anniversary last weekend. We live in suburban Washington, DC and have family in Baltimore. Accordingly, we're quite familiar with the city. The Blue Door, however, was a revelation. Our stay was superb and, thanks to innkeepers Cecilia & Roger, we discovered the quaint Canton area along the waterfront east of Fells Point, of which we were previously unaware. We arrived on an unusually frigid and snowy early December Saturday afternoon. Roger and Cecilia greeted us warmly and gave us a thorough overview of the inn, our room, and the neighborhood (Butcher's Hill, which is located just east of downtown.) We asked Cecilia for a seafood dinner recommendation and she directed us to Mama's On The Half Shell in the Canton area on the waterfront. She gave us clear and easy-to-follow driving directions. The dinner at Mama's was superb; Canton is a wonderful little neighborhood approximately a five-minute drive down the hill from the B&B. (In pleasant weather you can probably walk it easily in 25 minutes and take a route through Patterson Park, which is west of the B&B.) We spent the rest of the evening in our room, which was luxurious and quiet. We were on the back of the house. The only road noise we heard was from a fire engine in the middle of the night. We especially appreciated the XM Satellite Radio via Direct TV. The king-sized bed was extremely comfortable. We felt as though we had our own little Baltimore row-house hideaway for the night. Roger and Cecilia are very friendly and engaging. Roger's three-course breakfast is outstanding. The coffee, which he makes with a European machine that steams little coffee pods, was as light as a cappuccino yet with a robust French-roast flavor. In retrospect my only regret is that we didn't book two nights at The Blue Door. We'll remedy that when we visit again in the spring. The Blue Door on Baltimore is a winner in every respect.
