  Be certain to ask if the room has a temporary A/C unit

  Arrived on 7/21. Valet service was very welcoming and helpful (not operated by the hotel) Was checked into room 605 by a very welcoming front desk associate. Room 605 has a temporary portable A/C unit. The good news is that it keeps the room cool, the bad news is that the u it rattled so loudly that we could not sleep. The bed was comfortable and the room was clean. The toilet power hanger in the bathroom was so far from the toilet that you would need to be well over six feet or a primate to be able to reach it without getting up. The shower door handles were either missing a piece or held by an ugly generic replacement bolt. There were several areas of mildew around the base of the shower. Full disclosure, I was staying using my Bonvoy points so perhaps the room assigned was based on a “free” stay. I am very glad that is spent 75,000 points rather than 355 dollars++

  Steer clear of this disgusting hotel

  ⭐ Annapolis Waterfront Hotel: A Masterclass in How Not to Run a Hotel ⭐ If you’re searching for a hotel that delivers the full spectrum of “absolutely unacceptable,” look no further — the Annapolis Waterfront Hotel has curated an experience so uniquely awful it deserves its own museum exhibit. Let’s begin with the sink, which greeted me with what can only be described as a crime scene. I’m not saying it was vomit, but if it wasn’t, then congratulations to the hotel for discovering a new substance that looks exactly like vomit and hair and choosing to leave it there as a decorative accent. Bold choice. After complaining about the disgusting sink to a cleaning lady still on the floor at check-in, I was delighted to find a maintenance plunger thoughtfully placed next to my toothbrush when I returned back to my room. Nothing says “luxury waterfront stay” like brushing your teeth next to a tool used to unclog other people’s bodily disasters. Truly inspirational. The ceiling was a work of modern art — if the theme was “we gave up halfway.” Spackling patches that weren’t painted, peeling paint that seemed ready to flutterdown like sad confetti, and cracks that whispered, “We haven’t maintained this building since the Bush administration.” Then there was the lampshade, featuring a brown water stain so dramatic it deserved its own backstory. I imagine it’s been through a lot. Perhaps it’s seen things. Perhaps it’s begging for retirement. The sheets? Ripped and torn. A perfect metaphor for the hotel’s overall condition — what maid thought to herself, yep! This looks good when making the bed up with that sheet? Poor hygiene all around and absolutely not fit for use. And finally, the pièce de résistance: an oily, stained seat cushion at the desk. Nothing like sitting down to work and wondering which previous guest decided to moisturize the chair. I didn’t know upholstery could glisten. Now I do. --- ⭐ Final Thoughts If you enjoy mystery stains, structural neglect, and the thrill of wondering what bodily fluid you’ll encounter next, this is the hotel for you. Otherwise, do yourself a favor and stay literally anywhere else — including your car, a tent, or the floor of BWI.
