Description: In a city filled with historic architecture, the Brookshire Suites goes beyond modern in design and color scheme. Whether you’re staying a day or the rest of the year, the Brookshire Suites provides a spacious living room, separate bedroom, bathrobe, and an oversized work space. They tell you up front that “every room is on the concierge level” because you have access to the Cloud Club with gorgeous views of the Inner Harbor. Within the Cloud is a business center with two computers and copying, printing, and faxing services. There are other benefits including breakfast (pancakes, eggs, bacon, and daily chef specials) from 6 to 10 a.m. Monday through Friday and 7 to 11 a.m. on weekends. An open bar and hors d’oeuvres and more are available weeknights from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. A guest coin-operator laundry is available 24 hours a day. A marketplace off the lobby carries quick meals, snacks, magazines, sundries, and more. The rooms are pet-friendly. Some suites have a view of the harbor. Valet parking is $29 a day. The hotel has an exercise room or you can receive a pass to a nearby health club. The Brookshire Suites has two sister properties, the Admiral Fell Inn and Pier 5 Hotel. When you’re a guest at one, you can use the facilities at the other two.
