Hilton Garden Inn Annapolis Downtown
Evening bar staff was exceptional, as was the crew at the check-in desk. Excellent recommendations for places to eat. This hotel is within walking distance of everything we wanted to see and do. So much history here, cool stores, venues, and not far from the bay.
