Temporary Lodging in Maryland for Relocating Navy Personnel

PCS-ing military personnel have two facilities for temporary housing in Annapolis, in addition to countless hotels, motels, and bed-and-breakfast options.

The first is the Navy Gateway Inns and Suites located on the grounds of the U.S. Naval Academy. Parking is right outside the door of this historic 1904 building, which also houses the Officer and Faculty Club. There are 16 luxurious custom decorated suites plus two elegant custom-decorated Distinguished Visiotrs Suite.

Each custom suite is 500 square feet and features high-speed wireless Internet, a refrigerator and microwave, HD flat screen TV, Queen-size sleeper couch and a queen-size bed with posturpedic pillow-top mattress. (Note: the building will be closed for renovation in summer/fall 2012.)

Another option for military personnel and their family members (including DOD civilians) is the Navy Lodge Annapolis Station, located at 347 Kinkaid Road in Annapolis. This is a pet-friendly facility, unlike most civilian accommodations in the Annapolis area, and there is accessibility for wounded warriors and physically challenged guests. Reservations are required, and honored on a first-come first-serve basis.

Other nearby Navy Lodge locations include Bethesda, Patuxent River, and Washington, D.C. You can make online reservations for any of them by clicking on Navy-Lodge.com.

Be sure to touch base with me before you come so I can set aside a few days to give you a grand tour of the Annapolis/D.C. area and help you explore your housing options.
