On the plus side, employees are uniformly friendly and helpful -- from the receptionists to the bartender. A minor maintenance issue was resolved promptly and with a smile. The room is good sized; the TVs are large, and the bed is acceptable in comfort. Hotel is quiet (no road noise). The USNA stadium is within walking distance. One big negative. . . if you have a car, it's $30 per day for self parking in an open lot. No valet. Not covered. Not even well lit. There are insufficient spaces, so some cars had to park on the side of the road! (side road, not main road). It's not acceptable or safe. If you don't have a car, you'll need Uber/Lyft as the hotel is not (safe) walking distance from restaurants or stores. When I arrived in my room, there was a large sign in front of the TV essentially asking me to tip for housekeeping. That might be okay if there was any housekeeping during my stay, but there wasn't. Not sure how often it's done, but not daily. You shouldn't have to tip for a clean room when you check in. Finally, there's no place to put your suitcase other than the bed or sofa (unsanitary to have dirty wheels on those) or the floor. I was told you can request a luggage rack, but you shouldn't have to. It's surprising that a brand new hotel didn't build a "rack" into the furnishings (as do most Residences). Overall, the hotel is a good addition to Annapolis. It's clean, comfortable and in a good location. But I couldn't escape the feeling of being "nickel and dimed."
