Navy Gateway Inn & Suites

Stayed here on a cross country road trip stop. The place is spectacular. Old and well kept up. Right in the middle of everything Naval Academy. And, close to a gate that you can walk out to the historic district of Annapolis. And, they give you access to the Annapolis Club restaurant to dine, and I found it both elegant and very tasty. For lunch.

I was in town for zooma. The host hotel was out in town and sold out of their room block for the event. At that point the price for rooms for the host hotel was well over $ 300 dollars. So, I decided to try the Navy Gateway Inn and suites. They had suites available for $ 99 a night. I couldn’t get that out in town.
The inn is about the size of a bed and breakfast so there are not many guests. This means peace and quiet. It is located on the Academy grounds which makes for a nice backdrop. The grounds are the perfect place to go on a romantic evening stroll with your significant other. We saw several blushing brides and grooms leaving the chapel and taking beautiful photos on the grounds with their wedding parties.
That being said, let’s talk about the accommodations. The building is old, of course, but well kept. The suites are in pretty good shape and spacious. The furniture is in good condition, but is a bit dated. However, it is sturdy. As far as the appliances, I appreciate that the mini fridge was not so mini. It was a decent size with a separate freezer door/​compartment. I loved that we had our own Keurig machine in the room. The bathroom is the size of most hotel bathrooms but also dated. Also, there is only a ahower stall available-​no tub. Not a problem for me but maybe for some.
Anyway, there are laundry facilities available. I was also glad to find out that the laundry facilities were free. So, I didn’t have to scrounge for quarters. I also like that there was a full kitchen and dining area available for use. However, it was a shared area for all guests. Overall, I was pleased but there were some drawbacks.
For example, The Navy Gateway Inn and Suites is attached to the Navy Club. The Navy Club is on the first floor. If your suite is on the 2^nd floor, make sure it’s not above one of the banquet rooms. The drawback is that the music can get a little loud. Someone was having a wedding reception. We heard it coming up threw the floor. The only other drawback is that there is no elevator. So, we had to drag all that luggage up the stairs.
