Academy Bed & Breakfast

We rented all the rooms for my family and friends to stay for my daughter's wedding at the Naval Academy. It was wonderful to be able to have the space for several out of town friends to gather prior to the wedding or in the evening after the festivities were completed. Debo, Mary Elle and the rest of the staff went above and beyond for me and my guests so that we could have a "home away from home". I am forever grateful that they offered to accommodate our needs. Debo even assisted me in getting a reservation at a wonderful restaurant for a private dinner prior to the wedding! I stayed in the room with the very large bathroom ( it has 2 sinks) so that I had plenty of room to prepare. The towels and amenities were wonderful. The beds were also very comfortable. Other reviews have indicated that the rooms were cold or the food for breakfast was not delicious. Since we were there several days, I would have liked to have a little more variety, but if you stay a typical weekend, you will enjoy the choices including quiche, fresh cooked bacon, muffins, croissants and fruit. Parking in Annapolis is definitely a nightmare, which is not specific to 134 Prince. We had a very large vehicle, which limited access to other vehicles to park behind the hotel. I would recommend not having a vehicle, but rather using ride transportation from the airport. The price for the rooms is on the higher end, but for a special event, I highly recommend this hotel.

134 Prince is so charming, located steps from the Naval Academy, Main Street Annapolis and the Marina for dining, shopping and water views. The home and rooms were beautifully decorated, warm and inviting. The welcome, hospitality and service were bar-none! Any need was met, breakfast to order, daily warm cookies and after dinner indulgences. Loved the friendly caretaker and owner. Highly recommend for a relaxing and fun stay.

Sadly we had a VERY poor stay at this Hotel and just HORRENDOUS customer service with the staff including the owner who I had to track down after my numerous emails and calls went unanswered after they said they were going to address the matter that they helped cause in the first place. The total lack of professionalism was pretty shocking, especially for a "Boutique Hotel" , who you think would want to go out of there way to try and make things right with their quests and go above and beyond, then say a chain Hotel (I am a Bonvoy Elite member and they 1000% better then 134 Prince) .. I have quite frankly had much better luck with recent VRBO/AirBNB stays (which essentially what this place is as there is not a front desk staff and you have to use a code to get into the front door). Maybe because their location is near the waterfront they think they can treat folks in such a manner.. who knows.. All I can say is that I have traveled for work over my long career sales and I can honestly say I think this is the worst experience I have ever had (and I had stayed in a few winners, but not bad enough to take the time to post a review) .. Buyer Beware on this place !

I travelled to 134 Prince with my partner over Veteran's Day weekend. The town was busy because of the holiday and the Naval Academy football game. I believe we may have chosen to come to 134 Prince at exactly the wrong time because the extremely positive reviews below were absolutely not our experience. For anyone looking for an expensive airbnb experience, this is perfect, but don't expect a luxury boutique hotel. We arrived at 19:30 after a train delay and communicating this with a staff member. Unfortunately we arrived to an empty house and let ourselves in with our code. This seemed to be the level of service for our entire stay. On the second morning we were told to "help ourselves" to a dry and scarce breakfast of mini-bagels and fruit. I was excited for the homemade breakfast that other reviewers have raved about. The room (President Suite) was gorgeous, with a very luxurious bathroom and lots of space. Details let the experience down, with a dead fly being found in the bed, no blinds on the windows facing the bath and shower, and loose bathroom fixtures. The water did take a long time to warm up but it wasn't a massive problem. The room also came complete with an ice bucket but no glasses to drink iced drinks from. Despite the disappointments, the hotel is in an ideal location for experiencing Annapolis and gave us a quiet place to relax. We were lucky enough to enjoy delicious breakfasts at Iron Rooster and Bakers & Co. after a disappointing offering within the hotel. It is also a shame that since leaving, I have e-mailed the hotel with the above feedback, as customers are asked to do after departure. Unfortunately I haven't received a response; another extension to the lack of service received at the hotel.

Back in April of this year, my wife and I stayed at the 134. Now, we've stayed a a lot of very nice boutique hotels before but this one definitely stood out. While the accommodations and ambiance were top notch, the personnel stood out the most. The staff was unbelievable! Professional, yet personable. You could tell that they really cared about our visit. I'd give them 10 stars if I could. If you can afford it, go.

The owners have spent a considerable sum on the visible decor of this 5-room guest house (to call it a "Luxury Boutique Hotel" is a misnomer). While the pricing is certainly "luxury" @ $500+/- per night, plus $95 for check-in at 1:00 instead of 3:00 and $50 per night parking in their driveway, the service is not up to par. This is really just a cross between a B&B and an AirB&B. There is no full-time on-site personnel (you have to cll a cell number and someone will come over). Debbie, the manager, and Jen, her assistant, are extremely charming, helpful, friendly & accommodating, However, they have to work with what they are given by ownership, which is not much. The common rooms have no heat. The bathroom in our room (the Harbor Suite) had no heat. Every time someone walks in the room above, you can hear the foot steps. The ventilation runs all night in the room and makes alot of noice even with the vents closed. With all the supposed renovations of this old house, why did they not support the floors and the sound-proof? The water in the room has to run for a long time before it gets warm. No refirg in the room and they pad-lock the refrig in the kitchen at night (again no on-site personnel to provide access) so you have no way to keep any leftovers or food you purchase cold. I arranged to pay the early check-in charge which I could understand if it had been busy. However, to our surprise, on our first night we were the only people there as its off-season and clearly no one had stayed in the room the night before so there was obviously no extra cost to get the room ready before 3:00. The breakfast in the morning was an insult (stale tiny bagels and less than fresh fruited yogurts). I have had better while on 95 overnight on the way down south at a Ramada Inn. This place is billing itself as something it is not and charging for it. If ownership is not willing or able to fund this place and run it properly during the "off-season", then close it, or cut your prices in half to reflect the lack of service and the way it is actually being run. To do what ownership is doing, is just not fair to its guests. NO VALUE HERE .

My husband and I spent 5 amazing nights at 134 Prince to celebrate our very special and big birthdays and we couldn't have been happier! After an incredible amount of research about the best place to stay in Annapolis ,we picked this small boutique luxury hotel and can honestly say it was the best choice in every way. The service that Debbie, who is the General Manager, and Jenna provided was both personal and fabulous! From greeting us at the door to carry our luggage, to special handwritten birthday messages, to cheery morning greetings ,to making sure a decanter was always available , to obtaining special tables at restaurants... I could go on and on and each and every gesture enhanced our stay in every way. The newly renovated hotel is absolutely beautiful and truly feels like a home away from home. We stayed in the Capital Suite and loved everything about it except that the air conditioner was in the bathroom so it could get a bit chilly at times. Next time I think we would hope to stay in the room right across the hall, the Harbor Suite .Each morning their Chef Miquel prepared breakfast which smelled delicious but we are not breakfast eaters so only had coffee and matcha, which they made sure I had almond milk for each day. Just talking with Miquel was truly a treat. The hotel has a great location right in the center of downtown. You can easily walk to the many restaurants, shops, the Naval Academy ,activities and excursions. The restaurants were incredible ! We never knew that Annapolis was such a foodie town with so many things to do. We went sailing, toured the Naval Academy , kayaked , took at day trip to St. Michaels to go biking, ate and drank and relaxed. I can honestly say that we will absolutely be back and keep telling all of our friends and family about 134 Prince and the fabulous vacation in Annapolis. Thank you to Debbie, Jenna and Miquel for making our stay so very special and enjoyable and we can't wait to see you all again very soon!

For almost 1K a night the garden suite is not accurately described and this should be reported. It is a basement with a low ceiling, it is dark, there is a grinder pump that is very loud every time you use the water. There is one old AC unit in the living room and no vents in either of the bedrooms. Therefore, you have to blast this loud unit all day in hopes your bedroom stays cool and the living room is freezing the whole time. You also have to sleep with your bedroom door open for ventilation. You are underground, the “garden” is a few flowers outside the window. It was nice to have space and a kitchen with a sink and microwave but this “suite” is not as described and it is not fair to customers. The breakfast was also not as expected for the price. It was the same every day. Waffle, eggs, and 2 pieces of bacon. There were no other options. We have never been to a B&B that didn’t offer options and we certainly have never been to a B&B that didn’t have fruit. There was no yogurt, berries, muffins, bagels, oatmeal, juices, cereal- nothing. Even when you ask for different things in your omelets you are told no just mushroom. We had to eat the same breakfast 5 days in a row. For the price that’s not acceptable and how could you ever go there if you had a food allergy? The staff was very friendly and you could tell it’s not their fault. The owners really need to accurately describe the basement suite and offer a true B&B breakfast. In addition we have been to many B&Bs and for this price we were always offered fresh cookies or wine & cheese in the afternoon. Location was amazing and we did enjoy how walkable the city is however we would not return to stay in a basement and eat the same food for this price.

Excellence...our second visit...Debbie sees that every detail of every room meets the highest standard, while providing guests with a cozy welcoming atmosphere. Manuel's breakfast is always fresh and delicious. The location provides for a quiet night's sleep. There are five rooms from which to chose. We love the location; it is walking distance to everything downtown. The staff goes above and beyond to help you with anything you may need. The late check-out and parking options were so appreciated! My goodness, what else could one ask for? Fabulous stay! Thank you so much! We will be back in a couple months! :-)
