Hotels are usually middle of the road, never terrible or excellent. I would say the Marriott Water front is upper-middle when compared to others in its class.
The front desk service was pretty great. I was checked in by a very personable guy who quickly gave me everything I needed along with some good information.
I had a single King room, and my window looked out over the city, but the first 75 feet of the view was the graveled roof, so all I could see was the upper portions of some of the taller buildings. No big deal for me as I am not there to live in the room.
The bed and pillows were a bit soft for me, but everything was clean. I woke up with a slight neck issue that was fairly easy to deal with. The water was instantly and scaldingly hot, as is the norm for hotels.
Some features: a 24hr inside gym on the 5th floor, single-serve coffee brewer with 2 coffees, 2 teas, and the necessary accessories, an in-room mini-fridge, alarm clock, and smart TV.
I was there for a conference that was hosted in the hotel, and so I can speak to the service staff for that as well. We had food and drinks every few hours for the course of the conference. There were plenty of staff around, and the food was pretty good and consisted of everything from continental breakfast type items (bagels, muffins, scones, etc) to buffet meals (tacos, soups, salads, fish, barbeque, etc), and small desserts. One that stood out was a tres leches cake (wow)... how many leches? (tres). They had glass-front refrigerators with drink as well as plenty of coffee, iced tea, and water. The general, large restrooms were pretty clean. Towards the end of the day, the disposable hand-towels ran out and the trash had built up.
As far as what is nearby in Baltimore... well everything is nearby. Lots of great restaurants, the water front, museums, etc.
I'd gladly stay at this hotel again for sure.
