Hotels near Maryland Renaissance Festival, Parole

I have so many great things to say about the service I received at this hotel. It was amazing. The rooms were newly renovated and they are very spacious. It had that newly carpet smell. The foyer of the hotel was really nice. My husband and I had the chance to watch the Super Bowl in our on little cubicle and we were assisted with fabulous drinks 🍹 from the bar from Taylor and Pam. I wanted Baylis with my coffee and Taylor NAILED it. When I first checked in, Rochelle was very kind and approachable. She made sure that I had extra towels and feather free pillows. Basically, she matched our energy. We laughed and joked until I knew that this was the place for the next 7 days. The gym was very clean and they had new machinery. I usually don’t use the hotel gym but it had everything I needed along with the cleanliness. My husband had a lot to say about the staff as well. He enjoyed conversing every morning with the cook Diana. He said her burritos were to live for. He was excited every morning to eat his freshly made breakfast. If you were thinking about staying here, think no longer! It’s the place to stay in Annapolis. Oh, last but not least when I was checking out I met the GM and it was indicative that The Apple 🍎 don’t fall far from the tree!” Her staff was marvelous due to them having a great leader. Thanks Courtyard Staff for making our stay one to remember!!!

My family and I reserved a room here for a family wedding taking place in the area. Upon arrival at the hotel, we noticed the check-in counter area and the elevator were dirty and looked like they had not been swept/vacuumed in days. When we got to our room there was an overwhelming stench like old stale cigarettes. The counter in the bathroom was stained and damaged and there was only one half-empty roll of toilet paper with no extras on hand. Having severe asthma, within about 30 minutes of being at the hotel I began to experience shortness of breath due to lingering cigarette odors. When we left the hotel to get dinner we heard people fighting in the lobby, threatening to have people ”locked up”. Between the health issues I was having and feeling unsafe there with our two children, we promptly decided to check out of the hotel. This hotel needs a complete renovation to rid itself of the years of cigarette odors, I do not recommend this hotel at all.

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.

The Hampton Inn & Suites in Annapolis is by far the friendliest and with the most helpful staff. Our recent stay was very relaxing and we were constantly surprised by the staff, they were always around to provide assistance. After I had entered our room I was holding the room door open waiting for my wife when a staff member stopped to inquire if I was having problems with the door and offered to prop it open for my wife. Then the next morning when my wife (mobility challenged) went to get her breakfast in the breakfast lounge she dropped a piece of food from the buffet tray and immediately a staff member was there to clean-up, followed by a Hampton Inn staff member deliver her assembled meal to the room for her. Stay at the Hampton Inn & Suites Annapolis for a pleasant experience.

The location of the hotel is a little far from the city center and the beach. The satisfaction is that the parking is free, the room is clean, the front desk service is very good, the restaurant breakfast service is slightly worse, the waiter is serious...

My daughter and I stayed here for two nights while attending a family wedding. Pros: -Kitchen with full size fridge, 2 burner stove, microwave. (But no dishes or cooking pans.) -Front desk still manned at 10 pm when we needed to get new key cards. - Staff was professional and helpful. Cons: -Closet did not have bar for hanging clothes and I had no choice but to drape our dresses over the half wall separating kitchen from main area. -No bedside lamps. The only light in the main area was next to the sofa on the other side of the room. -There was a gap between the counter top and rim of sink in the bathroom. -A/C unit air was directed straight onto the bed with no way to redirect it. -Worst free “breakfast” I have ever seen. Coffee, tea, hot cocoa packets, oat meal packets, 3 or 4 bagels or muffins (the container was labeled bagels and I could see a few things in it but didn’t open to look, my daughter said they were muffins), and a hand full of granola bars. -Upon returning late after the wedding reception neither of our key cards worked and we had to go down for new ones. - Side entrance was supposed to be locked at night for security but was taped to remain unlocked. - Only three pillows on our queen size bed. I believe this could be a nice hotel. The room was a nice size. The location was good. I noticed molding along the floor behind the front desk was missing and wondered if they were doing a remodel. Our room appeared recently painted (with over spray in several places), the headboard looked new, closet and bathroom doors looked new. The lack of hanging bar and bedside lamps could be due to putting the room back in service before it was completed. But I question why they would not completely refurbish the room. The bathroom sink and vanity were old. The counter top had a big crack in it and the recessed bowl was not connected to the counter leaving a quarter inch gap. Bedside lamps are a necessity. And while I usually don’t use the closet, in this case I needed it. As far as the breakfast goes, if that is all you are going to provide, don’t bother. If no free breakfast is advertised then people know to make other arrangements.
