• The ambience of a historic inn.
• Nothing disappointed me.

“In short, I liked it very much. It met my needs, was unique because historic, and had a great location. I would go back as long as the rates remain reasonable.”

• Nothing at all.
• Room to small, parking on the streets even though it was valet.

“Room was way to small for two people, bathroom was way to small, the whole building was out of square and when clothes were in the dresser the draws wouldn't stay closed. They had valet parking buy no way near enough valets and the street in front of the hotel was to narrow so if valet was there you had to drive around till they came out to park your car.”

• It was conveniently located to downtown Annapolis.
• Check-in was @ another location. Poor logistics/information on setup. Not handicapped friendly

“My mother always told me "If you can't say anything good, then don't say anything at all". I hope that expresses my opinion in a nut shell. I have never been so disappointed in a hotel in my life. Especially for such a historic location. Oh, one more thing, clear English speaking desk clerks would be expected.”

• Nice location with elegant decor.
• Rooms were a little small, but okay for 2 people.

“Overall, I really enjoyed my experience at the historic inns. It has a great location and they valet park your car which is great in Annapolis. The hotel itself is very well kept and the staff is friendly. You will find a paper at your door and a down comforter on your bed. The only negative thing is the rooms are a little small, but if it is a small party it is just fine. Definitely too quiet for kids!! Overall, great experience and I plan to go back!”

• Great location.
• Very noisy. It was like sleeping outside. Did not sleep. At all.

“Due to an air conditioner unit in the window, it felt like we were sleeping outside, very noisy. So I think I was put in the lowest priced room for that reason, and the room did not look much like the pictures. But very clean.”

“It¿s going through some renovations, but the staff was very friendly and hospitable. It¿s in great walking distance to everything in the waterfront area. The only downfall had to pay for parking in a garage which is a few blocks away.”

• It is convenient to downtown.
• Small rooms, no service (no bell hop), unclean (mouse droppings), unfriendly, uncooperative staff.

“This is suppose to be a 2.5 star hotel, yet the rooms are so cramped that only a double bed can barely fit. There was no tub, only a very small shower in my room. There is no one at the front desk at the Maryland Inn and no one to help with baggage which is a problem since there is no parking at this hotel. Mouse droppings were found on the linens, and one hotel guest actually saw a mouse in her room. We were locked out of our room. We had to go to our parked car (several blocks away) to get the paperwork proving that we had two more days left, yet they would not show proof that it wasn't their mistake. We left early even though we had prepaid for more days because we really couldn't take it there any longer.”

• The feather pillows and comforter.
• The mouse feces on the towels, the lack of help, unclean tiny rooms.

“There are more than one building making up Historic Inns of Annapolis, if you have the unfortunate luck of getting booked at the Maryland Inn, expect mice feces on linens, no one at the front desk, no help with your bags and the smallest rooms imaginable, too small to even have a tub in the bathroom. And please do not expect your room to be cleaned, or get a bar of soap to clean yourself in the tiny little shower. And please don't expect anyone to be friendly or helpful.”

• Beautiful inn located in the heart of downtown Annapolis. Excellent staff and I look forward to another visit.
• Hard to blame hotel on lack of parking. May have to park in city parking deck or use the inns valet service.

“From the moment we arrived we felt right at home. Our room was beautifully decorated and well appointed. The staff were very friendly and eager to assist us in any way possible. The Inn is located on State Circle in the heart of Annapolis and is within walking distance to numerous shops, restaurants, and bars. I would highly recommend this inn to anyone visiting Annapolis and I look forward to a return visit.”

• The room was comfortable and nicely decorated.
• The location for check-in is not very convenient as the Circle is very tight on space.

“The room was elegantly decorated and well kept. The location on State Circle is very quiet. One downside is that they valet your car so you have waits to receive it back. I hope they consider telling people about a public parking lot a few blocks away which is less expensive and less of a hassle. The hotel does not have room service but does supply coffee and tea in the lobby.”

• I loved the location. You could walk to any place we wanted to go in Annapolis.
• I was thinking that I didn't like the parking situation, but it worked out beautifully.

“It was nice to have a historic room in a historic location that was also very comfortable in "today" standards. I was impressed with the fact that I could look out my window at the first Capitol and that George Washington had actually resigned his commission there.”

• Beautiful historic building, centrally located across from the State House

“Nice hotel in pristine condition right in the center of town. I'm surprised it wasn't rated as a 3 star hotel, but I suppose that's because it lacks a restaurant and bar. However, this is a fantastic little hotel with friendly staff and nicely appointed rooms. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend to others.”

• Coffee in lobby urns was not hot. Xeroxed sheets explaining hotel's history were cut off at bottom and too light to read well.

• The decor was absolutely beautiful.
• Due to the location, it was valet parking only at $20.

“These are incredible properties located in the heart of Annapolis. For anyone desiring to have a "Historic" visit, this would be the place to stay. The rooms were gorgeous, but the parking situation was an aggravation to me as I did not desire the extra expense of the valet parking and then of course, tips. I was also there for business on the OTHER side of Annapolis, so the location wasn't great for me. However if you want to be close to the Naval Academy or any of the historic spots downtown as well as the City Dock, this would be the place to stay.”

• The location is perfect for a nice walk down Main Street to the Harbor.
• The check-out receptionist was not very friendly.

“This hotel is in an excellent location. Annapolis is a great walking city and this hotel puts you in the perfect spot to see all the sites of the city. The only inconvenience was the check-in, which is done at another building. A valet then escorts you to your particular hotel at a cost of 20 dollars. You have the option of parking your car yourself, but trying to find parking on a summer afternoon in Annapolis is hard to do. Overall, we had a great stay.”

“Quaint hotel formerly the home to the first two governors of Maryland. Fifty-Five comfortable accommodations in a relaxing atmosphere. Very friendly staff who were quite responsive. Rooms were good size and beds quite comfortable. Perfect location as Main street was two short blocks away. Parking on the street was very tight but we had valet parking for $20. Free in and out use of car. Restaurants short walk away. One right next store. Normal price of room was $229. We paid $80”

• Beautifully appointed and clean staff was just wonderful and very accommodating.

“We truly enjoyed our accommodations, clean and nicely decorated (recently remodeled). Our first night was in the Johnson house and the air did not work so the next night they moved us to the Maryland house and an even nicer room. For the inconvenience they gave us a ticket for brunch for 2 in the Treaty of Paris Rest VERY Good! They also swallowed the 20.00 valet parking for us. They were so nice and we would most certainly return to the Historic Inns of Annapolis. ”

• The hotel is very loud. You can hear the people in the room next to you at all times. Hotel staff are not attentive and terrible with customer service.

“I have stayed at this hotel before and I must say that they are headed down with customer service. Since my last stay they have remodeled with is very nice but the current staff needs to be remodeled as well.”

• Walking distance to just about everywhere you'd need to go to.
• Valet parking rates were too high and waiting for valet services to bring car.

“This hotel was right in the heart of Annapolis, so getting around in town was very easy. The hotel we stayed in was the Maryland Inn (They have 3 different buildings) The rooms were extremely small, no vending machines, no ice machines and the mandatory valet parking was not only over-priced it also took quite a long time to get your car delivered. The rooms had updated items such as: Flat screen TV's and stereo alarm clocks, robes & complimentary soaps & shampoo. Our room had a completely updated bathroom, thank goodness however, the bedroom rug looked to be from at least the 30's era. It was not the worst place I've ever stayed in BUT, I would have enjoyed it much better if they had at least a place in the building to buy a can of soda & get ice after the restaurant closes. But if you are looking for a quaint "1700's" historic hotel, in the heart of old town Annapolis, this is it.”
