The hotel was in great shape, rooms nice, and staff friendly/helpful. The full breakfast buffet was a nice addition.

I was surprised to find a microwave, large fridge, and coffee maker in the room. Clean and comfortable.

We had stayed in a couple of Best Westerns years ago, and weren't thrilled with them, so hadn't stayed in one recently. We were in Towson, MD for a special event on a Saturday, and decided that since we hadn't been out to Frederick in a while, to make a weekend of it, and booked at this hotel for the night. It looked very new or newly renovated, very nicely decorated, very clean. It's true - the bathroom is one of the smallest I've ever experienced in a hotel, but no big deal. The location is a little odd, but easy enough to get to, and very easy to get to downtown Frederick from it. Overall, very pleasant stay, and made me much more interested in giving Best Western chain another shot.

We had a VERY large group (180+) of WWII Veterans that took nearly every room for two nights. There was a snafu with the room bookings (probably as much my fault as the hotel's, we just don't know); but they helped us work through it.

Our only criticisms are the lack of an elevator (would have 100% cured the booking issue) and very small restroom in many of the rooms. You may also want to use a GPS upon arrival; it's fairly easy to view from the highway, but hard to locate.

Even though we had a very large group (too large for the hotel's continental abilities), Paige arranged to have Brewers Alley, a beautiful downtown historic restaurant open up at 5:30am for breakfast (TWICE!). This was just above and beyond the call of customer service!

Paige and staff were the epitome of professional (before, during and even after our stay), as was the CVB (Tiffany), The American Legion Post 11, Rohrbaugh's Charter (Lori), Golden Corral Buffet and Brewers Alley Restaurant (opened special two mornings in a row!).

I respectfully disagree with some of the older posts, as of May 2010 the Best Western of Historic Frederick is very clean and a tremendous value if you're in the DC area!!
