Annapolis Waterfront Hotel, Autograph Collection
Room was 100%, spotless, comfortable bed. Small but probably got inexspendive room. $39 parking fee seems excessive. Until they have their new restaurant, they lack on site food and in cold weather, that's not great but expect it to be great in the future
