Residence Inn Baltimore at The Johns Hopkins Medical Campus

Overview

The Residence Inn Baltimore at The Johns Hopkins Medical Campus was Julian and Kayla’s lodging during their first Baltimore filming trip for ‘’I Am Still Me’‘. They stayed for roughly one week while the Lee family decided whether filming would continue beyond Joon-Ho’s initial trial visit.

The extended-stay format gave them a suite with a full kitchen, work surface, and enough room to keep a small camera package organized. Its location beside the Johns Hopkins medical campus also made it practical when a production centered on medically complex people had not yet developed a stable local routine.

Physical Description and Services

The real hotel is an all-suite property at 800 North Wolfe Street. Suites are reached by interior corridors and elevators. The property includes on-site laundry, breakfast, Wi-Fi, business facilities, and a rooftop restaurant. Suites have full-size kitchens and desks, allowing guests to cook and work during longer stays.

Marriott’s current property information lists mobility-accessible and hearing-accessible room options, roll-in showers, accessible vanities, handheld shower wands, flashing door knockers, lowered controls, grab rails, and wheelchair-height toilets. Those features belong to the hotel’s available room inventory; the story does not establish that Julian and Kayla’s particular suite contained every listed feature.

Production Use

Kayla used the suite as the first trip’s logistics base. She kept the filming schedule, contact information, releases, charging plan, and travel arrangements together while Julian organized footage and recovered between visits to the Lee home.

After a difficult early filming day, the hotel suite was where Kayla finally broke down over what she had witnessed. The private space let both filmmakers process the day away from the Lees and from the public parts of the hotel.

The stay also exposed the limits of hotel-based production. Cases had to be packed around housekeeping and departure, the room was not guaranteed for future visits, and each return would require another setup. Once the family agreed to months of intermittent filming, Kayla replaced the hotel plan with a furnished corporate lease at The Lucie.

Travel Relationships

The hotel stands within the Johns Hopkins medical-campus district and near Kennedy Krieger Institute. The Lee home lies north in Hamilton, so filming days required a drive out of East Baltimore through the northeast side of the city. The hotel was closer to hospital infrastructure than to the Lee residence.

The later Lucie apartment sat southeast of the medical campus in Brewers Hill. Moving there was a production decision based on repeated-trip stability, not on reducing the distance to the Lee home alone.

Chronology

  • Julian and Kayla arrive in Baltimore and check into the hotel for a stay of roughly one week.
  • Joon-Ho permits one trial visit at the Lee home.
  • The family agrees that filming can continue, and the first trip expands into the opening block of a four-to-five-month schedule.
  • Julian and Kayla return to Los Angeles after the initial stay.
  • Before later Baltimore blocks, Kayla secures the furnished apartment at The Lucie.

Continuity Notes

The hotel’s name, address, extended-stay format, kitchens, elevators, and current accessibility inventory were verified in 2026. The roughly one-week booking and its place in the first filming trip are story decisions. The exact suite category, room number, price, and 2036 operator are not established.
