Best Hotels near Memorial Hall, Annapolis

Just wrapped up a two-day meeting at the Historic Inns of Annapolis. I was so looking forward to staying there, as I'd heard great things about it. Unfortunately, I was disappointed with the service and the cleanliness. We stayed in the Gov Calvert building, which is a beautiful, historic building on the main circle in downtown Annapolis, just a short walk from the MD state house. Although old, it's been preserved wonderfully, and it doesn't feel 250+ years old. When I arrived at 7:15pm, there was no valet available, so I waited in the rain at the valet stand for 10 minutes before retreating into the hotel. I checked in at ~7:30pm but had to return outside to provide the valet my key and retrieve my bags. There was no bellman to assist with the bags. When I checked in, I asked if there were a restaurant or bar in the hotel where I might get a bite to eat and was directed to the pub next door. Unfortunately, it closed at 8pm, so I had to find my way to another pub down the street and around the corner. For early evening, I was surprised to be unable to find dinner in house and being forced out into the rain to walk to a restaurant. When I returned to my room, I looked for a plug near the bed to charge my phone. There was a very, very dirty power strip behind the bedside table that had so much sticky grime on it that I had to clean the openings for the phone's cord before inserting. When we began our meeting the next morning, there was no breakfast served, though we'd ordered it when we contracted for the retreat. We were eventually provided a coffee service, though our staff had to go out to get bagels, since everyone came expecting breakfast to be included. There was food left in the refrigerator in our meeting room from a wedding over the previous weekend, which drew gnats to the room that we had to contend with over the two days. Several colleagues expressed concern at the lack of cleanliness of their bathrooms (hair in their tubs &/or bathroom sinks), so we asked that the rooms of all our guests be deep cleaned. The hotel nicely left a bottle of wine in each room after recleaning. On Day 2, we were informed mid-morning that unless we cleared our cars from the garage by 1pm, we would have to pay an extra $15 per car on top of the $32/day for valet service. (There is no self-parking option and street parking is limited.) This was not stated when we made reservations, when the meeting rooms were booked and food ordered, or when we checked into the hotel. Our meeting was not scheduled to conclude until 3:30, and we'd paid for the room's use through the end of the business day. Although the hotel agreed to waive the extra $15, we were each asked for $15 when we summoned our car through the text app the hotel uses, as valet instructions required. As a result, we had to wait at the front desk for the staff to ”release” the charges on each of our accounts before the valet could retrieve our cars. The staff that served us for the meeting we

Great location. The room was very clean and bed was comfortable. Love the free cookies. Yummy!

Come here for meetings every year, nice hotel.

Hilton inn express Annapolis Maryland review The good way overpowers the bad, so I’m going to start there. I got this for $73 a night on Priceline. A huge room with a king-sized bed, a pullout couch, plenty of desk space, a small kitchenette which consists of a microwave, a sink, a good -sized refrigerator, and cupboards. The bathroom is large with a walk-in shower. Everything is super clean. I find that rare. Super friendly and helpful front desk and cleaning staff. Every single one of them. The bed was very comfortable, with awesome pillows. And many of them. You can control the heat and air conditioning with a digital unit on the wall. Super quiet unit. They actually wash the comforters! I went down to get some new towels and the attendant took me to the laundry/supply room and I saw heaps of dirty comforters in a bin and I asked her if they actually washed the comforters. They do! I personally think that should be required of every hotel! One of the best gyms I’ve ever seen at a hotel. Treadmill, elliptical, bike, a bench, free weights, yoga mats, resistance bands. You can turn the air down and it cools the room off super quick. Such an excellent hotel, that I hate to even mention any issues. But, a few things bothered me, and they may bother you as well, so I will share them. The first issue is that there is no place to hang your towel, not even a hand towel. OK, well let me correct that. There is one towel rack which acts as the handle of the shower door. And there’s a dual hook on the back of the bathroom door, but the hooks are so close together you can only hang one towel on them and so short that a towel will not stay on them. That’s it. This is a king-sized suite, so that means it sleeps at least three people. There is a vanity with a long counter, and plenty of space for some towel racks. My daughter goes to college in Annapolis, so I will stay here again, but I will pick up one of those over-the-door rack of hooks at the Dollar Tree for the bathroom first. The shower doors do not slide easily. The fan in the bathroom is connected to the light, so when you turn the light on, you turn the fan on. And that’s a great idea, because people will not remember to turn the fan on, and that causes mold. So I do not blame them for making it non-optional. However. The fan is SO INCREDIBLY LOUD that you cannot have a conversation if the light is on. You cannot listen to the news while you get ready. You cannot have a phone conversation It’s overpowering. This impacted my ability to multi-task, which affected my work. The toilet has a very powerful flush, so be sure to put the lid down or it will spray you and the floor. The shower is a clear glass door, so this means no sharing the bathroom unless you are a couple and don’t mind the exposure. Installing a shower curtain would allow someone to get ready at the sink at the same time. There are several stains on the carpet. Water pressure in the shower is great, but the w

We had another wonderful stay at The Annapolis Waterfront Hotel (a Marriott property). My wife and I go every year for our anniversary. It is not cheap, but the view and location are excellent. Rene at the front desk went the extra mile and gave us a fantastic experience. Hats off to him and our server at breakfast, Taylor, provided great service with a smile. We will be back!

After a very sunny day at the beach, we were happy to get to the hotel. The front desk staff was very pleasant and they offered a choice of cookies as a small welcome. We chose oatmeal cookies and were surprised by how delicious they were. As a tea drinker, I was also happy to see an excellent choice of Bigelow teas in the lobby. Our suite was very comfortable, with a living room that was separate from the bedroom. Everything was simple and comfortable and very clean. Breakfast buffet was included, and is served on weekends til 10:30. This helped us have a relaxing morning. The choices were quite typical, but somewhat more variety than is often the case (waffles, fresh fruit, oatmeal, cold cereal, bacon, sausage, etc). More important, the scrambled eggs tasted fresh and delicious, the muffins also tasted fresh and delicious, the orange juice tasted especially good, and I was again happy to have a choice of teas made with hot water that was in a container that was not previously used for coffee. (If that sounds like an odd statement, you probably are not a tea drinker.) We never stayed at a Country Inn and Suites before, and now we will again.

My girlfriend and I stayed here in August for a couple of weeks. The redecoration they’ve done is excellent- rooms are tasteful and clean. The hotel also offers free bikes which is perfect for getting around Annapolis. Best part was the staff- Elliot in particular went above and beyond to help us out. Will absolutely be staying here again.
