    The room was clean and the bed comfortable. The bathroom was small, there was no elevator the steps were a little dirty and the parking lot had a number of pot holes. My first impression was that this motel was run down. I was pleasantly surprised by the interior.

    Honestly, we did have a problem with the shower in the room. I called the front desk, the response was immediate, the gentleman that came to the room was so friendly, fun and earnestly wanted to please us as guests. He was so helpful and accommodating, it was very impressive. The person who checked us in earlier was very kind, he also went out of his way to help me without my asking for help. So the two employees that we encountered were exemplary. I highly recommend this hotel.

Remote control wasn't working properly. I was offered another room but too tired to move.(ALL Carpets need cleaning or replacing...minor stench) Overall it wasn't a bad stay but it wasn't A1

    Location was good and it had a lot to park a truck in. Breakfast was lackluster. Out of all the good things and even though there was an attendant for breakfast, she didn’t refill anything. Also, I usually had been able to get a paper copy of my receipt but this time for some reason I couldn’t get one. Ice machine on the 2nd floor was out of order, vending machines almost empty on both floors. Crappy efforts on repairs all over the building. I don’t recommend staying here.

    The staff was kind, we had no problems checking in, and we had an okay night in the hotel. Breakfast was alright. The lobby looked renovated and nice. Our deadbolt didn’t work on the door, bathroom was very small, you had to stand in the bathtub in order to close the door. Doorhandle for the bathroom was very loose. Shower floor looked like it was covered in mold, covered up with a bath mat. The shower would squeal when it was on, getting louder and louder until you adjust the knobs every 30 seconds. Our pull out couch was covered in white stains, we ended up covering the couch with an extra sheet just so we could sit. Breakfast was okay, all of the juices were very watered down. The ice machine was broken, entire hotel smelled damp but after kicking on the AC in our room, it was better. Bed felt like it was older, not very comfy.

    Check in was seamless. Everything was correct, room appeared clean and well maintained. When we returned from dinner and turned on the lights, very small little bugs appeared near the lights. We killed them and more appeared. I called the front desk, a young man came (Mitch) to check the problem. He identified them as sugar ants. He left to see what could be done. Returned to say we could move to another room very near the highway or to an upstairs room but there was no elevator. So at 10:30 pm we collected our belongings and moved to the 1st floor near the highway (room 157). Got very little sleep due to LOTS of road noise. We were scheduled for 2 nights so they gave us room 104 for the second night. When I went to pick up the keys I was told that 104 had already been rented so they gave us 137 instead. I checked the room for bugs and spent the night there. They said they were extending a 20% reduction in our bill. As far as I can tell, that has been done. I will know more when I get my credit card bill. Overall, I probably won't chose a Best Western room in the future. This was an unpleasant experience and one I will not knowingly allow to happen again.

    The room was exceptionally clean. The tile in the entryway felt great to my bare feet. The bedding wasn’t stained. The bathroom and sink were spotless. There was no overhead lighting other than right in the entrance so the room as a whole was only lit by the small lamps near the bed and over the desk. This might not be a big deal to some, but the room felt dark. The bathroom is really small. Clean, but small. The bathtub backed up quickly during each shower.

    The front desk and cleaning staff were very helpful. The room was clean and roomy. However, the layout of the bathroom is odd (The sink is outside of the bathroom, and it is very tight inside of the bathroom.) Additionally, it will be more accommodating if they put a larger coffee table so that you can use it for two people.

    be vary cautious when staying at this hotel. we booked a room with two double beds and after arriving to the room, as the blanket was pulled back we noticed an actual bedbug. this is a serious cleanliness issue for us so we went to the front desk to request either a refund or to be moved to another room since it was 2am and finding another place to stay was not possible at the time. the night shift clerk was extremely rude and kept telling my friend to be quiet and that she would not talk to her because my name was on the reservation but we were standing there together explaining our concerns. after an unpleasant interaction the clerk changed our room and let us examine the new room and the bedsheets to make sure there weren’t any bugs. I will say, the only main positive with this hotel was that we were slightly impressed with the free breakfast options. the food was actually decent and had many choices to choose from.

Breakfast was fresh, delicious, and continuously stocked during the morning time offered. The only minor drawback was the heating-cooling unit in the room seemed responsive to personal control only part of the time; overall however, the air temperature in the room was comfortable.

    We were only staying in for 1 night. I was told by 2 different staff members that my charge would be $55. When we checked out the next morning, they slapped a charge of 2 nights and $139. It is fraud and they lied to us. I put the blame on the General Manager Bhavesh Prakash for defrauding us who does not know what customer service all is about.

    They told us that there was no microwave available but did not have the courtesy to let us know and waited for us to call them again. I demanded that we be moved to a different room. We were told all rooms were occupied which of course was not true. When I started to really sound upset, the front desk guy found a room immediately across our assigned room. He asked us if we used anything in the room. So, after checking in for 4 hours, he expected that we will not be using the beds or towels etc.? Had they been honest enough to tell us there was no microwave, then we would not have agreed to unpack our things in that room. This was a very bad experience. The management should ensure all rooms have a working fridge, microwave etc. They should not wait for customers to discover that something is missing in the room. This is not fair to paying customers. Never will I book again at this location!

    Room was in good condition. Desk clerk was okay. The manager was rude. He was helping himself to things on our table in the dining area without asking, never asked for the pepper or salt. He kept reaching over us and taking things off our table and personally using them. We eventually brought our food up to our room. He had no respect for personal space. Maybe the manager could use a lesson in the proper way to ask to use items that others may be using. He made us felt uncomfortable.

    When we got there and checked in, they gave us a key to someone else’s room, which was uncomfortable when I unlock the door and there was somebody already in the room. Then the room they gave us. The bathroom did not have a vanity to it so it was hard to brush our teeth and put out stuff that we need for hygiene and impossible for my wife to do her make up.

    The check in person - I want to say I wish it was smooth.

He also called my last name “very German” said it was a compliment, he needs to work on the small talk. Same person at check out this morning looking like he just rolled out of bed.

    We booked a room for 3 people, a king with a pullout sofa for our son, but no bedding was provided in the room for the sofa bed. When I called the front desk, I was told I had to walk down to the front desk to get it myself. The staff, though polite, initially gave me only a wadded-up blanket. When I asked for sheets, she went back and retrieved a wad of sheets; back in the room, I realized it was the wrong size for the sofa bed and lacked a top sheet. Exhausted, I chose not to return to the desk. The sofa bed mattress was old, yellowed and uncomfortable. The king bed was comfortable, the only nice part of the room. The bathroom faucet wouldn’t switch to the showerhead, streaming only from the faucet despite pulling the shower pin. My husband couldn’t fix it, and we reported it the next day. I requested a partial refund for the inability to shower, but was told prepayment made this impossible. Later, the staff offered a room change, but as we were settled, moving for showers was impractical. I appreciated the attempt to address the concern.

    Bed was too high off the ground. At 63 and only 5 feet tall, I had to push the foot stool around the room to get into bed.

Oh, and there’s no elevator and my daughter is handicap. So yeah, it was not happy with this visit. And I think they knew that air conditioner wasn’t working because apparently it was the only room left which I find hard to believe.

    Basic hotel that is a few minutes drive from downtown Frederick. The hotel could use a facelift, as it is a little dated, but has a large amount of rooms. The room was a bit dark with limited lighting — my only critique. The breakfast was fairly good with a number of options in the small dining room. It should be noted that this hotel doesn’t have an elevator to the second floor.

The sink outside the bathroom was dirty and looked like it hadn’t been scrubbed in months. The TV didn’t work. The only saving grace was the beds were comfortable.

    The first room we were given had a very unpleasant odor. Additionally, our keycard malfunctioned six times over the course of just two days, which was quite inconvenient. The hot water dispenser also doesn't work unless there's water in the coffee machine, which means you can't get any hot water for tea or other needs—this seems like a design flaw, as the hot water dispenser should have its own dedicated supply. The lighting in Room 146 is also too dim, and the window appears to be broken. As mentioned earlier, the smell in the room was particularly bad and made the stay uncomfortable.
