There are many other hotels available. The hotels in the above list are places where we have actually stayed while visiting Annapolis. We have also stayed at the Comfort Inn in Bowie and the Hilton Garden Inn by BWI when distance and timing were not an issue.

D.C. and Baltimore by the Wharf are also good options for a relaxing weekend and change of pace when nothing major is going on.
