Dear @EmbassySuites, I stayed in your hotel in downtown Baltimore Monday night. There was no hot water in the morning. My car, stored in your valet parking lot overnight, was broken into, the front right window smashed. Parts of the hotel were filthy, and my room was no suite.

In defiance of national trends, Baltimore has experienced a surge in violent crime in recent years.
Maryland’s largest city has become infamous for its high crime rate, roughly ten times above the national average according to the FBI’s Uniform Crime Reporting Statistics.
Fox News’ Brit Hume experienced that firsthand, having his car broken into and, according to the political analyst, having to deal with a subpar hotel experience.
