A $54 million loss and still counting, but the city is still pouring public funds into its money-losing hotel ("City must help cover Hilton's debt payments," Feb. 28). Amid sequestration madness and a looming city financial crisis, haven't taxpayers had enough? Fiscal responsibility should dictate privatizing some city services that the private sector can manage more cost effectively.

The city will be forced to dip into its general fund for $1 million to help the city-owned Hilton Baltimore make debt payments this year, city officials said Wednesday. Harry E. Black, Baltimore's director of finance, said the hotel needs the money to make payments in March and September. The Hilton is expected to contribute $2.8 million in taxes this year from the hotel occupancy tax to the general fund, so the hotel is drawing from money it created, he said. "I expect it's going to be an ongoing thing for a period of time," Black said.

The operators of Baltimore's city-owned Hilton gathered Thursday to defend the hotel's financial reputation, saying it has enough cash to cover its costs and emphasizing that city taxpayers are not on the hook for expenses or losses. Last year, the hotel lost $11.5 million. Most of that loss, about $9.6 million, can be attributed to accounting requirements, which do not represent cash losses, said M.J. "Jay" Brodie, who heads the Baltimore Hotel Corp., which oversees the Hilton's finances.

Baltimore police had a woman in custody after a man was shot in a fourth-floor room of the Hilton Baltimore Convention Center Hotel, an incident police said appeared to be a domestic dispute. Police were called to the city-owned hotel near Oriole Park at Camden Yards about 7 p.m. Tuesday and found a man in his 30s who had been shot in the abdomen. A .40-caliber gun was recovered and a woman, who was in her 20s and was the registered owner of the handgun, was taken into custody pending charges.

We pick things up at Kyle's Morrocan dinner party with Mauricio continuing to go in on Brandi. After Brandi finally tells Mauricio to go eff off, Kyle jumps in and whispers to Mauricio to back off. In her confessional, Kyle tells all: "You can't control what comes out of that girl's mouth. " It's annoying because Mauricio was definitely berating Brandi for about 30 minutes. People have limits. Kyle tries to gloss over it all, making it clear she didn't want Brandi to be attacked tonight and explaining that Mauricio's tight with Adrienne, so he felt compelled to insert himself into the drama.

The gaping holes torn into the lobby ceiling at the city-owned Hilton Baltimore last week by a torrential rainfall should be repaired by Wednesday, a hotel official said Tuesday. A heavy rain last Thursday evening — parts of the Baltimore area received nearly 2 1/2 inches between 6:30 and 7:30 p.m. — caused an internal storm pipe system to fail, said Irene Van Sant, a project analysis director for the Baltimore Hotel Corp. A connection failed at the point where the building's vertical drain pipes join those that run horizontally above the lobby ceiling, she said.

Reading about Baltimore City's opposition to the Tremont Hotel plan reminded me of my utter disdain for the white elephant that is the city's struggling Hilton Hotel on Pratt Street ("City opposes conversion of Tremont Plaza to Embassy Suites," July 6). Every time I attend an Orioles game at Camden Yards, I can't avoid seeing the aesthetic monstrosity just beyond left field. The building's architecture makes absolutely no attempt to fit in with the surrounding structures, and the panoramic view of Baltimore from inside Camden Yards has been thrown into utter disarray since the hotel was erected.

A new owner's planned conversion of the Tremont Plaza Hotel in downtown Baltimore to an Embassy Suites, a Hilton Worldwide brand, would threaten the city-owned Hilton Baltimore hotel as it struggles to reach stability following the recession, city development officials have told Hilton executives. The Baltimore Hotel Corp., which owns and developed the 757-room Hilton on West Pratt Street, said the lodging giant's plans to offer a franchise for a Hilton-branded hotel to the new Tremont owner violates the spirit of a hotel operating agreement between Hilton and the city.

The city-owned Hilton Baltimore lost nearly $11.5 million in 2011 — about $400,000 more than it lost the previous year, according to a recently released audit. In addition to losing money last year, the hotel dipped into its reserves in February to make payments on its debt service. The Baltimore Hotel Corp., created in 2005 to oversee the hotel's operations, withdrew nearly $4 million from its $9 million operating reserve account to make a semi-annual bond payment in March. The Hilton was coming off several slow months and did not have enough money on hand to pay the full amount owed, the audit said.

At 68, Roy Hilton still enjoys fooling people. "They come up to me and think I'm an old basketball player. I like that," said Hilton, who, at 6-foot-6, was one of the tallest Baltimore Colts of his day. He fooled people in other ways, back then. The Colts' 15th round draft pick in 1965, Hilton surprised everyone by making the team at defensive end and lasting 11 years in the NFL. And in Baltimore's 16-13 victory in Super Bowl V, he surprised Dallas by roaring past its All-Pro tackle, Ralph Neely, and sacking Cowboys' quarterback Craig Morton twice before halftime.
