Naval Academy Graduation
Great location within walking distance of academy, downtown and a slightly longer walk to the stadium. Parking on the street was manageable despite the crowded area. Kitchen was great! Definitely if you can’t get a reservation somewhere and the appliances are all new. There is a grocery store within 9 minutes next to Walgreens. Great selection! Beds were comfortable and the 2 full baths and 1/2 bath on first floor was perfect.
