Hilton Garden Inn Annapolis Downtown
Always best value vis-a-vis location in Annapolis, by far. My only gripe is their parking area can be very tight…it’s often a tightrope walk to get into one of the spots under cover without hitting another car or a pole. And the uncovered lot is often full if you arrive later in the evening
