My husband and I stayed at the Gatehouse Inn in February 2005. When I called the night before our stay to confirm, the InnKeeper (Nick) asked me where I was from, I told him NYC. He proceeded to tell me some inappropriate Bill Clinton/Senator Hillary/Monica L. jokes. Then laughing, he asked me if we were still planning to come. I thought it was weird but...

After driving 5 hours in the snow, when we arrived no one was there. I called their cell phone, no answer. After sitting in the car for 45 minutes in the snow, I called my cousin to come and get us. Finally Nick and his wife showed up, seemly clueless as to what had happened. My husband tells me an apology was finally offered by his wife.

The room was nice, bed comfortable. Location good. Standing over us during breakfast Nick, tried to engage us in conversation, basically so he could tell us his views of the world. Breakfast ended in some dirty joke about the Amish. His wife sat down to eat with us, and asked in the course of conversation how much we paid for our house renovation!

The woman who works for them, Cheryl (referred to as the InnKeeper's "Love Child"), was nice and the only one who bothered to say goodbye when we left. Apparently, if you are not interested in sitting there while Nick espouses while he's holding court, they don't care if you were happy or ever come back.

There any many other place to stay in Annapolis, and I would never go back.
