Great location with lots of different restaurants within walking distance. Rooms are clean and well maintained. Beds are comfy, AC worked well. Mike at the reception was super helpful and got us checked in within minutes with no wait.
Excellent experience from beginning to end. The front desk was efficient, polite and attentive. The hotel interior is freshly updated, the room - a double queen - was very clean and inviting. We stayed with pets, and were given a room right by the exit doors. We will stay here again!
Pleasant chain hotel with easy access to downtown Frederick. Room was nice, clean, well appointed and equipped. Staff was friendly and helpful.
Nice and clean. Just has some age that is reflected in the facility. Overall nice affordable hotel in a great location.
Was in Frederick for vacation few days. The site was an easy location, staff were friendly and helpful, and cost was competitive. And most of all, the room and hotel overall was clean. Clean. Clean. That really matters to me. And I was not disappointed. The kitchen area and workout room showed that same attention to cleanliness also. I don't make it Frederick area often enough...but truly hope this review will help others take advantage of a well-run place to rest and revive.
We recently spent two nights here. The hotel was very nice & clean, plenty of towels, good water pressure, coffee maker, fridge, hairdryer, friendly front desk personnel, gas station next door, and lots of restaurants close by. We did not try the breakfast, but read that it is lacking a bit. Our only very minor disappointment was that our beds were very lumpy and uncomfortable, but other than that, our room seemed to be recently updated. We did have two men on two separate visits knock on our door late at night. They wreaked of weed, and they thought there was a party in our room. I notified the front desk and they said if it happened again, to alert them and they would call the police. We believe they were looking for the hotel next to the Comfort Inn, which has a lot of bad reviews. We would definitely stay at this Comfort Inn again whenever we return to Frederick!
This was perfectly located in this town and our room was clean. The lobby was quaint, looking comfortable! Our was located perfect on the first floor. Sam the check-in desk clerk was very helpful, and courteous. I would stay again!
Room was clean, and cool. A few little things. It's an older spot to stay, but great price and easy to find. Plenty of parking.
This straightforward budget hotel is 3.3 miles from the historic center of Frederick and 22 miles from Antietam National Battlefield. The shops of Westview Promenade are directly across the road.
Curated spots travelers usually pair with a stay in Maryland. Distances are rough real-world times, not straight-line.
