Fourth, and one of two in our twenty by the stadiums. The Hampton Inn at the Convention Center has a free hot breakfast and an indoor pool, 0.10 miles from Orioles/Ravens Stadium at Camden Yards, per Hilton.
The Convention Center and Babe Ruth's Birthplace are 0.10 miles away too.
Valet is $60 and self-parking isn't offered — a nightly charge, not a cruise deal. Hilton never mentions the cruise terminal, and there's no restaurant.

Source: hilton.comParking at the terminal
$25 a dayCruise Maryland charges $25 a day per vehicle from April 1, 2026, per its rate notice; its passenger page puts it as “$25.00 Per Night”. RVs are $40 a night under 30 feet and $50 over. You pay by credit card when you arrive, there are no reservations, and the fenced lots are within walking distance of the terminal. Drop your bags at the luggage boxes first, then park. We count it by the day, as the rate notice does; if the lot charges by the night, as the passenger page puts it, it’s one day less.
