The 100-room Country Inn and Suites By Carlson is a good budget-friendly option for guests seeking a homey and comfortable environment in Annapolis. Although dated, clean rooms have microwaves, mini-fridges, and coffeemakers, plus upgrade options for suites and romantic whirlpools. An indoor pool and hot tub add appeal, though they are small and only available during limited hours. The free breakfast is a continental buffet with waffles, plus free coffee, tea, and cookies are always offered in the lobby -- a nice touch typical of the brand. Although pricier, the Historic Inns of Annapolis offers far more charming and stylish interiors in a historic building.
