Note: November 1st is a Naval Academy football home game, we recommend making reservations as early as possible. Additionally, Annapolis is a popular tourist destination, and the local hotels often book to capacity well in advance for autumn weekends. Please consider staying with one of our local business friends, who provide support to the college.
