Flag House Inn

Great location; steps away from the Naval Academy and 2 blocks from downtown Annapolis. Very clean and comfortable and the breakfasts were delicious. Debbie was awesome, very easy to reach, and accommodating. Highly recommend the Flag House Inn and would definitely stay again.

Very nice B&B. The staff are attentive, the rooms are clean and the location is very convenient. The breakfast was the same all three days we were there, but it was good. We very much enjoyed our stay and would return. Beware, if a 3rd party booking site says that the parking here is free, that is not true. My wife and I booked on a 3rd party site that promised free parking. The Flag House then called us and asked for payment for parking. After telling them that free parking was promised on the site we booked through, the Flag House honored that. But just FYI, there is no free parking on site.

Having stayed at many Bed and Breakfasts from exceptional to marginal, this location is more on the latter side. The bright side is the location and cleanliness, within walking distance to all things downtown Annapolis. The pre-paid parking, $50/night consists of pulling into the driveway of the home where four other cars are parked where it is near impossible to consider ever leaving if you dare attempt to turn your car around and need the employees assistance to shuttle your car around in their driveway the night before so you are not blocked in when you need to leave the next morning. There is no way you could back out as it’s a two lane busy road. Floodlights to the backyard, which is their paved parking area are on all night to prevent theft I assume keep your bedroom illuminated as there are no blackout shades. The bedroom is up two narrow flights of stairs so if you are older, do some heavy leg workouts before your trip. The bathroom was miniature, sink and toilet size I wasn’t aware they could be made that small. Shower stall meh. Now in my opinion, one of the supposed highlights of a Bed and Breakfast should be the Breakfast. We stayed three nights. The breakfast was the same each morning; store bought scones and muffins and a scrambled egg circular plop of some kind. Really every morning!! La Quinta offers more variety than that. To the owner, have your attendant cooking bacon, ham, hash each morning, home fries, eggs to order, etc. We, the consumer, should look forward to breakfast each morning. Cold eggs without any way of keeping them warm, no toaster or warming plate, the same blueberry muffin and scone every day is lazy. You will not get returning customers that way. I will say your attendant was very nice and obviously can only operate in the environment you placed her in so no fault of hers. Hard pass if you are considering this place. A lot better choices knowing what I know now.

The Front desk staff are so rude and not helpful! Pictures on website are misleading. The Place is dirty and very small. I would not recommend this place to anyone. So many other places in the the area to stay at that are clean, bigger, less expensive and with front desk staff that are amazing and professional! Don’t stay at the Flag house inn, you’ll regret it.

Horrible service The place is dirty The front desk and staff were extremely rude to me and my family It’s very over priced for the service you receive Not what me and my family expected on our weekend getaway

Absolutely horrible customer service. Days before my stay they cancelled my reservation and told me that there would be no refund. I've never seen a policy that allows for that. Marielle was rude and refused to address my issues.

Awful customer service. Worst front Desk I ever had to deal with, which resulted in a terrible experience. The hotel isn’t clean and lacking TLC. For the price that you pay you would expect an all around better experience.

Overall, we enjoyed our stay at the Flaghouse Inn. The location is perfect and the house is pretty clean. We stayed in the Commodore Suite, which was quite spacious. However, the bathrooms (which are not advertised on their website for a reason), were extremely small. This is a very old house, so we were not extremely surprised with this. The one thing that we were incredibly disappointed with was the breakfast. After reading quite a few excellent reviews about how wonderful the breakfast was, we were looking forward to this. To our dismay, we woke up to bananas, yogurt, and some baked goods. Considering we have been to a couple B&Bs, we were a bit surprised, as this is very unusual. B&Bs are usually known for their home cooked meals. We did bring our concerns to the manager, who told us that they were “trialing and erroring” breakfast. As paying customers, this is not something you want to hear, especially paying for three nights. I also inquired if there has been a change in ownership, as the reviews I read did not match up to our experience. It appears there are two owners named Cody, and it’s very unclear who the reviews are referring to. I didn’t receive a clear answer regarding ownership, but it most certainly seems like something has changed within the past year. We did ask about receiving some type of credit, but the manager said he could not accommodate this request. Our breakfast the next day came from a local bakery. It was mostly bread options. I only know it came from somewhere else because there were descriptions of each item with the bakery’s name (Ingrano Bistro & Bakery). I get they were trying to include more options, but not what you expect at a B&B. Lastly, breakfast didn’t start until 8:30AM. For early risers, this is a bit inconvenient. Also, most B&Bs offer refreshments throughout the day and not just water and mints, which is what we were offered daily.

First and foremost, the property photos are not as advertised on the website. The common areas are nice, but the room accommodations were terrible, and the service was extremely poor. We were placed in a room behind the dining room which was down a hallway next to the kitchen across from the washer/dryer next to where the trash was kept each day. Furthermore, the photos on the website don’t show a room that looks anything like ours and when we inquired with the one and only staff person on-site, we were told our room isn’t listed on the site photos. This is misleading for a small inn to not show all the rooms available, particularly leaving off the less desirable ones. When we tried to get moved to a new room (as they weren’t sold out according to their misleading website) we were told we’d have to pay an extra $100 per night to move (we were already paying nearly $400 a night so that was simply unacceptable). As we were next to the kitchen, it was noisy every morning and so much so that they gave us a white noise to help block the noise, which leads us to believe that this is an ongoing issue that others have complained about. To be quite honest, we were confused why this was even a room they would rent out as there is no way anyone would stay in this room and have a good stay; we are confident that we can’t be the first people to have complained about this room. Strongly recommend booking elsewhere given the steep price.
