Best Western Historic Frederick

The staff was very friendly and accommodating. The bed was extremely comfortable. The room was clean and orderly. Parking was ample. Conviement for me to get to the venue at the fairgrounds. The only drawback was the pool was closed for the season less

When we arrived the hotel looked okay from the outside. The exterior door did not lock/close correctly and it led right to the hallway of rooms. The hallway and rooms were not clean to my expectations either. Generally kind of stagnant air and just didn’t have a clean feeling. The man at the front desk was sort of rude as well. We had a huge 26’ Penske truck and he was on us to move it to the back very quickly after we had put our stuff down in the room. Maybe 3 minutes and he was on the phone asking when we were going to move the truck (which was not in the way up front- and it was 8 pm). Just annoying! less

The Best Western located at 420 Prospect Blvd in Frederick, Maryland 21701. The problems were: narcotics found in room 127; by the kids, the cleanliness of room 106; shoes and cereal on the floor when we checked in, room 123 dirty countertops and tub ( Obviously no corona virus cleaning there) and the unsecured back door that was opened all night, even though I brought it to the attention of the night manager. The door to room 117 was propped open by the door latch with the lights off. I brought it to the manager’s attention he did nothing about it. All of these things combined made it an unrestful night. less

My wife and I stayed 1 night with a hotel reservation. A masked receptionist behind the glass processed our payment with the refundable $50 security and issued our key card. We took a bag trolley down the main hall to #112, a large clean carpeted king fully outfitted with cold refer, microwave, coffee, small fully equipped toilet with quick hot water shower and outside wash station. Also great WiFi, cable TV with 100 cable channels and new window AC. The 7 AM breakfast buffet was reduced by Covid to 2 small 'Grab and Go' bags from reception; simply a banana, granola bar and a bottle of water. To the side is their outdoor pool. Next to Weiss Supermarket, 1/3 mile to I-270 and Rt 15 freeway junction, and several fast food restaurants. We found this nice hotel a very good stay at $90 US per night. less

This hotel definitely has its pros and cons. Pros: Price and location. The price was pretty good, especially for a king suite (more on that in a minute). And it is very easy to get to on both the highway and downtown historic Frederick. I will also say that the hotel was clean and was continued to be cleaned every day. The housekeeping kept up with their changing of towels, taking out the garbage, and remaking the bed. I know at a time like this, some people might not like that. I was sort of on the fence, but then again, I appreciated the garbage being taken out and clean towels. Cons: Was that a king suite? It sure didn't look like the pictures. But it did have the sofa so I guess so? The bathroom was tiny. The sink is outside of the actual bathroom. But the bathroom is super tiny. It was just a room with a toilet and shower (no tub). The shower doors were hard to balance to stay open, and since the toilet was in the way, you had to get in the shower to turn the shower on, and then hop out if you wanted to let the water warm up. During this time, the only breakfast option was a grab and go. In it was a breakfast bar, orange, and a water. According to the Best Western website, it was also supposed to have a breakfast pastry. The front desk staff was friendly. I had no problems at this hotel over all. It was quiet with one exception. Our room looked at the back of the shopping mall behind the hotel, and the dumpster truck woke us up one time. Otherwise, we didn't hear the noise from the streets at all. I still would consider this hotel again. less
