Flag House Inn

The location is a real highlight if you want to explore historic Annapolis. The entrance to the Naval Academy is across the street, with shops, restaurants, and historic sites nearby. The bed, sheets, and pillows were very comfortable, and our room was old but clean. We stayed in the Commodore 2 suite, on the third floor, which we hadn’t realized meant climbing steep, narrow stairs. There’s no elevator to those rooms. Staff will help with luggage, but making repeated trips up and down isn’t pleasant, especially for older guests or anyone with balance or mobility issues. We’re in our late 60s, but healthy and active. Both bathrooms are extremely small, with only about 3 by 3 feet of standing space. One has a sink and shower, and it was hard to open the door and get into the tiny shower. The other has a sink and toilet and is cramped as well. This used to be a B&B, but it didn’t feel like one to us. The first day, breakfast was just a few pastries, fruit, coffee, and tea. On the second day they also had Chobani yogurt. For the price, I didn’t find that impressive. There aren’t many outlets in the room, and the bathroom GFCI outlets tripped and couldn’t be used when my wife tried to dry her hair. One other note: Naval Academy tours are currently canceled because of the war, so check before traveling if you’re hoping to visit.
