I surprised my wife with a weekend trip to Annapolis for our anniversary. I decided to book a room at the Charles Inn after looking at several of the different B&B's in the area. We could not have been more pleased. The location, only a short walk from all of the shops and restaurants in the historic area of Annapolis.... More

We decided at the very last minute to grab some time away. Lucky for us they had a cancellation. We stayed in the Holly Room. Just beautiful! Very romantic. Breakfast was fantastic. The best French toast I've ever had. Coffee great too. Only thing I would suggest would be a "how to operate" guide for cooling/heating system. Ha! Hope to... More

We went to "get away" and were swept away by the warm greeting of our gracious hosts, Paula and John, the peaceful garden and path to the water, the quiet, the exotic feather bed, the tasteful, historic decorating, water taxi from our door to the restaurant, and the delicious breakfast. It was our best B&B stay ever and we look... More

My wife and I stayed for two nights at the Charles Inn this past weekend and enjoyed ourselves immensely. The innkeepers, John and Paula, were so kind and hospitable and helped make our weekend extremely relaxing and fun. The Charles Inn is a quaint, charming inn, and the breakfast that Paula makes is fit for a gourmet restaurant. Their company... More

We arrived around dinner time and thought the outside of the house was beautiful -- they have a wooden porch with chairs for relaxing when the weather's nice. We were welcomed by John and Paula, both of whom were very friendly, and given a little tour of the house and our room by John, who loves to chat with guests.... More

You can take a water taxi from dinner/lunch right to the property,it is less than 5 minutes walking from Main St., and the price is reasonable.

I second that opinion - I'm a pet lover, but c'mon! The room we stayed in was fine, the location great (water taxi accessible), but the main rooms smelled like a litter box. There were about 5 cats i counted in the living room - 2 dogs outside. All in all, a strange place.

We apologize for your discomfort. All but one of our pets are no longer with us. The Inn has now been practically pet free for the past year or two. None of our recent guests have been compromised by any odor, in fact we take pride in keeping a clean, healthy establishment. We would welcome you back anytime should you... More
