I did not notice any musty or foul odors in the hotel. However, the wallpaper was peeling off in several areas of the room, as mentioned in previous reviews. The sink stopper was broken and the caulking behind the faucet was coming off the wall. There were also hairs in the bathroom - around the sink and some stuck on the door. Otherwise, the halls, and common areas, were very clean and kept. My major problem during my stay was the slamming of doors by other guests. The hotel should put stronger hinges on the doors to prevent this from happening. Also, while the bed linens were soft, and everyone can appreciate the HI Express policy of comforter-less bedding, the bed was beyond a doubt the hardest I have ever slept on. Do you know at department stores, when they set up displays to show comforters, etc on those hard wooden squares that are supposed to resemble a mattress? Those would be softer than the mattresses in this hotel. I honestly thought I was sleeping on the box spring instead of the mattress. I woke up several times during the night with my entire body in pain because of the firmess of the beds. The rate was high as well as for over $100 a night, one could also stay across the street at the all-suite Marriott for the same price, or less. Staff was friendly. Prince Frederick is a beautiful area to stay in Southern Maryland - I would shop around the other chain hotels in the area for a better price and better beds.
