Severna Park Area Hotels Reviewed: The Full Breakdown
1. Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, Annapolis, MD
The Vibe
This Radisson property scores an 8.8 for cleanliness and 8.9 for both staff friendliness and location — a rare triple. The indoor pool runs Friday through Sunday, and guests consistently mention the warm reception for travelers arriving with pets.
What You Actually Get
Rooms come with a kitchen — perfect if you’re planning a longer stay or just want to avoid eating out every meal. The property welcomes pets on request, and the free on-site parking eliminates one of the Annapolis area’s biggest budget drains. The daily hot breakfast (rated Very Good) is included, and the fitness center is open for guest use. Keep in mind the pool has limited weekend hours, so plan your swim for Friday–Sunday.

Check Tonight’s Price for Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, Annapolis, MD →
2. SpringHill Suites by Marriott Annapolis
The Vibe
This Marriott property pulls a 9.1 for both cleanliness and comfort. The free breakfast is a reliable morning perk, and the indoor pool makes this a solid pick for year-round swimming regardless of weather.
What You Actually Get
Every suite includes a refrigerator — confirmed by guest Q&A — though microwaves are worth confirming at check-in for standard rooms.

The main drawback: Wi-Fi scores just 5.9, so if you’re planning a work trip, you’ll want to tether or have a backup plan. Pets are not allowed here, so leave the dog at home.
