| DD's are attending swim camp at the Naval Academy, and I can't find good plane tickets to get home and back, so I guess I'll make it a mini-vacation. We have tons of travel planned for the summer, so budge is an issue. The cheapest decent hotel I can find is $700 for 5 nights, so that's my goal. Definitely under $1k. I don't need to be near Annapolis - maybe a two-hour radius? Any suggestions of where I could look? I'll be a woman traveling alone, so safety is a big concern. |

| Will you have a car, or are you looking for somewhere near public transportation? |

| Where is the hotel you found? If it's on Rt 50 near DC that's a bad area. |

| I'll have a car. Was considering the Residence Inn Baltimore White Marsh, but I know Baltimore can be iffy. |

White marsh is gross. What are you planning to do there for 5 days. We stayed there for a baseball tournament and there was a guard. Do not recommend. They probably house homeless people there. Maybe the economy lodge in falls Arlington near the east falls church metro? It’s definitely a motel and bare bones but at least it’s safe and you can walk to metro and go into dc easily. |

| Look across the bridge into the Eastern Shore near Kent Island or Easton, Bowie, or up into Towson. |

| Did you look at the hotels near Annapolis? I work in the area. The cheapest non-refundable rates for the Courtyard by Marriott in Annapolis/Parole would be under $700 for five nights in June. |

This is probably 2 hours from DC. |

Motels aren't an option for safety purposes, and I do prefer to stay with a recognized chain (I'm Titanium at Marriott, but understood about White Marsh). Honestly, I just plan on working remotely if I can't find an area with anything to do. Tourist stuff isn't required at all. |

| Wr have stayed at Courtyard mentioned above when taking sailing lessons. It's fine. |

Oh god no. Especially not a woman alone. I’m confused though, are you looking for a place to vacation? Because Baltimore is not it! |

On the main USNA camp page they have two hotel specials: Doubletree Annapolis 20% off, and Westin Annapolis at $115

| Why don't you trip around the eastern shore. Check out the wildlife at Chincoteague. |
