Courtyard by Marriott Annapolis

First let me say that I was a little skeptical after reading the reviews on this property. I am a Travel Agent so I have been to many Marriotts. I was very pleased with this property. This is not a JW Marriott by any means, however, it was clean, great location and the staff is amazing! I would send my clients with no hesitation!

BUG INFESTED! Beware they have bed bugs or worse. We stayed there for 2 nights (had a longer reservation), but after coming away with bites and welts like the images show, on the second morning, we cancelled the rest of our stay and left immediately.

And the hot tub jets were broken at the pool. Not dealbreakers, but surprising somewhat for a Marriott. Lastly, the reservation desk on the phone does not communicate well with the actual hotel, and in my case, th
