Historic Inns of Annapolis
Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, Annapolis, MD
The elevator was broken when we got there and no one had notified us. Had there been someone handicapped with us it would have been a real problem. Staff was very helpful.

Hilton Garden Inn Annapolis Downtown
The staff were very friendly and helpful. The King Room was nice and clean. Located in a nice area. The drinks and food at the bar were nice. The only downside was the parking. The lot is small luckily I have a small car but once you’re parked you’re hesitant to leave because there may not be a space ...

DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Annapolis
Rooms were clean, mattress was stiff, needs updated carpet, the maid staff was too noisy in the morning and it woke me up before my alarm. The TV is not a smart tv and only gets fish channels, otherwise the stay was okay.
