Pleasant reception staff and car parking guy. Room was very clean but unremarkable. Bathroom was also clean but a little dated. Learned to unplug my fridge on the 2nd night to get less broken sleep...

Breakfast was amusing. Never stayed there before but my colleagues assured me that the buffet was good. Alas, there weren't enough people to warrant having a buffet so we got table service in a very cold bar/dining room. Serving guy was lovely and eager to help but obviously not a morning person. By the third day he'd got what we wanted...alas it was our last day. Have stayed at Loews just down the road and think I prefer it there. Thankfully, we got a business rate for the hotel.

Location is good - 10-15 minute walk down West Street to the main harbour.

Room Tip: Ask to stay at the back of the hotel if you are bothered by traffic noise.

“decent for the money”

Hotel service was excellent. They were quick and very friendly. Rooms were ok. The beds were uncomfortable and there were stains on the carpet. I think next time, I would pay the extra money to stay somewhere else.

Dear JackieFL85

Thank you for your review and your kind words about the team here. I am sorry you found the bed a little firm, they are scandanvian orthopedic beds and supposed to be very good for your back, but they are not as soft as some others. We are currently cleaning all the carpets and I will be sure that your room is addressed, thanks for your feedback.

Regards

“Watch of for sticky fingered valet”
1 of 5 stars Reviewed 26 December 2011

people found this review helpful

I had a terrible experience at this hotel. The room was really filthy to the point where you would not want to touch the carpet, the 2 of the hangers in the closet were broken and to top it all off the valet helped himself to the emergency cash and other valuables I had in my car. They charge $18 to valet your car and do not give you an option to park yourself - do not stay here unless you really don't care about your belongings or being clean.

Room Tip: Stay somewhere else

We are addressing your concerns about theft at the hotel and have been working with the local police, however it was over three weeks after your stay with us that this was reported.

We take this claim very seriously as we have loyal and honest staff. We understand the trust our guests put in us when they give us their car and respect that.

I am very surprised and disappointed to read of there being issues with your room, we will certainly look into this also.

Many thanks

“Good location”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 November 2011

person found this review helpful

I investigated hotels online in preparation for an Annapolis visit with my daughter and her fiance. They had enjoyed Loews, but wanted to try a different hotel. O'Callaghans looks wonderful from the website. I was further enticed by the friendly gentleman who handled my reservation by phone. He had a fitting Irish brogue. The woman at the front desk was friendly and efficient upon check-in. I was not warmed by the appearance of the lobby. Although clean and appropriately furnished, it was not a comfortable setting. Our room was average in appearance. I was immediately dismayed by the stained carpeting and "rough edges" in the room. We had a minor problem and was promptly moved to a different room which shared the same lack of an update. On a positive note, the e-cruiser which brought us around town was delightful and the bath amenities were of superior quality. The bed was overly firm, but the linens and pillow were comfy. Upon checkout, a different front desk staff member failed to inquire about our stay. It is doubtful that we would return to this hotel unless the rate was much more reasonable.

Room Tip: Choose a room with a balcony. They are spacious and have a small table with chairs.

“very reasonable”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 November 2011

Basically the hotel is okay especially for the nightly rate, however there is a musty
odor in the rooms and hallways that made me not give a better rating. It
would not deter me though from staying there again. Other than that, the hotel
reception and the valet all do a nice job.

Thank you for your review and I am delighted that you had a good time with us.

We have addressed the issue that was causing a musty smell and have cleaned this all up over the holidays while the hotel was closed.

We hope to see you back again soon and Happy New Year!
