This motel’s location appealed to guests as there were plenty of places to eat plus gas stations and shopping options in the vicinity. Downtown Frederick and the Fort Detrick military base were also within easy driving distance. The proximity of the intersection US Route 15 and US Route 40 in western Maryland made it straightforward to get to shopping malls, regional attractions and golf courses.

Reviewers frequently praised the professional, pleasant and attentive personnel, who were available around-the-clock at reception and normally provided a quick check-in. Animal lovers welcomed the pet-friendly policy.

Although reviewers appreciated the availability of wireless Internet access, it disappointed many that they had to pay a nominal fee to use the network. Some critics also reported a weak signal and underwhelming speeds in some parts of the building.

Maintenance problems like dim lighting or linens with cigarette burns disappointed some guests. There were also claims from some quarters that several of the bathrooms were fairly small.

Light sleepers sometimes blamed thin walls for enabling them to hear nuisance noise from neighboring rooms and corridors. Meanwhile, lingering smoky odors proved to be off-putting for several guests.
