Genuine Hotels.com guest review

I stay in cheap hotels all the time and realize that you can't expect much from them. I'm usually willing to sacrifice some comforts to save money. However, no matter what you pay I think you should expect to get what you are told you will get. First, I reserved a nonsmoking room. My room was obviously freshly smoked in, which led to me waking up with […] a horrible headache, which was especially frustrating as I was there to run a half marathon. There were also no towels in my room. The maids were outside so I asked them for towels and they said they would bring them later (even though they had their cart with them). Twenty minutes later I got 1 towel, and about ten minutes later I got a second one. When I first got to my room, I went to brew coffee. The water started leaking out from the bottom. I went to the front office and the man said he could brew me some there, and I said I needed it at four in the morning. He said he would leave a note for the worker that would be there to brew it at 4. I also asked for late checkout and he said he would make a note of it. Later that night, I called the office to confirm with the next worker that they would brew coffee at 4. When I called at 4 to make sure it was brewed, the third worker had no idea what I was talking about and at first told me he could not brew it at that time. Finally he agreed to but it took 20 minutes. I decided at this point I better confirm my late checkout, which of course was not written down anywhere. Read more

The GPS took us all around the Mulberry bush to get there. The room was satisfactory for the night. The highway was loud in the morning. The furniture was very nice but there was no mini-fridge or hair dryer. The breakfast was cold cereal and white bread. But it fit what we needed at that point.

Title says it all. I'm not going to waste much time explaining. Room didn't have microwave or fridge. Smelled. Old, Old, OLD everything in the room. The room was always cold. I know its not a high standard hotel, being an econolodge, but wow.

This is not on a main road . You can drive right by it as we did. FYI not by the Francis Scott Key Mall. Its located driving away from the mall. Needs work.although it is posted that they are in the works of renovating. TVs in room are old ones but they do offer WIFI.

Filthy, poor services, rusted; more like thirdworld country.

The price was great.. No this is not a 5 Star hotel, but I didn't pay 5 Star rates either.....

Genuine Expedia guest review

It was little dirty and smelled either from pets or other type cleaning solvents would not recommend this motel. It was stop on my way to Virgina Beach and I could wait to leave the hotel. Area was mostly industrial but was close to the highways.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Hotel seems to be under going some upgrades and repairs.. Which is a good thing.. Stayed here last year for 2 business trips.. For the price you can't beat it.. No, it's not a 5 Star hotel, but you're not paying a 5 Star price.. Only need the room to sleep and shower. Staff is GREAT, Very Friendly and helpful.. Will stay there again next year too.. […] .

It was a good location. The smell was very strange and was dark and gloomy inside. The workers at the front desk were nice and kind though. I would only recommend this hotel if you need something quick and cheap. Otherwise don't even other.

nice room, comfortable

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

I would like to Thank Craig for his hospitality. Craig was there with a smile and a helping hand with directions. My friend and I were spending the day down in Thurmont for their annual Color Fest, Craig gave us tips on parking etc. Our room was very confortable and affordable, we definately will be returning. One thing that can be improved is the directions […] with Map Quest, we weren't able to pull the address up(showing unknown). I spoke to the young lady at the desk when checking in and it seems something that she has tried doing several times but ....Thanks again Read more

Staff was polite and helpful. Rate was very low so I did not expect anything fancy. I just needed a place to sleep while busy during the day elsewhere. Basic accommodations were fine.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

the room was clean & comfortable. The beds are very comfortable, over all our stay was a pleasant experence.

Genuine Expedia guest review

It was an average hotel for this price range. I was surprisingly very impressed with the comfort of the mattresses and taste of the coffee. We got a great night's sleep.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

This was the nastiest room I have ever stayed in. The bathroom was the worst part of the room.

Genuine Expedia guest review

A basic bare bones hotel/room. Nothing fancy but worked well for a nights stay.

Genuine Expedia guest review

Pretty dumpy looking on the outside, but it was close to a Panera & the highway. We did see a free fireworks show from our window thanks to the very nearby minor league baseball stadium.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Hotel was dirty floors sticky dust hanging from ceiling. Even had an old piece of gum stuck to the wall inside the shower. Would never stay there again. More like a roach motel then a people motel

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

This place was horrible ... my sister and I seemed to be the only two guests .. at least on our side of the motel ... It had no refrigerator, no coffee machine, no microwave, no iron or ironing board ... when we arrived at check-in for 3:00 p.m. the people had not yet cleaned our room ... they were in our room .. sweeping the carpet with a BROOM and […] just hanging out chatting with each other. We weren't even sure there were fresh sheets on the bed ... The worst room I've ever stayed in in my life ... I will never book an EconoLodge again!! It actually cost a little more than the Travelodge we stayed at two months ago, which had all those ammenities and more. The one good thing I can say about it is that the guy who checked us in ... Craig ... was very nice and friendly .... I was not surprised that when when we checked out he didn't ask us how our stay was. I guess he knew what a DUMP this place was! I don't supposed you will share this review. Buy I wish I had read reviews before I booked it! Read more

This hotel scared me. The front desk was unmanned for 10 minutes when I arrived and there was a scary guy in the lobby that stared at me but would not answer questions. I was the only guest on one side of the motel and I was placed in a room towards the end. All of the outside lights were torn out. They were replacing them but there was not even enough […] light to determine which room was mine. I used the headlights on my car to figure out the room. The lack of lighting bothered me. I did not feel safe so I emptied out my entire car and placed the items in my room. The comforter was ripped. The bathtub was discolored. It appeared clean but damaged. In the morning the front desk asked how I liked the room and told me that I was the first to stay in the remodeled room. I can only assume that this was a mistake. This motel was cheap but I would prefer to pay a bit more and feel comfortable. Read more

Very nice place to stay on our way to our next stop

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

This is an old motel. Very basic. Undergoing a moderate renovation. Typical of this price range in this market. One problem I had was strong smell of cleaning chemicals. I am a carpet cleaner by trade and around various cleaning products all the time. I am not aware of them in my work most of the time, but this room sure did smell of them! If you want […] to get a cheap room in this expensive area, 45 minutes from DC, this will do. Just don't expect much. Read more

Genuine Expedia guest review

Arrived and found that the hotel was under reconstruction---one whole row of rooms torn apart with furniture all over the parking lot. Gap under the door to my room so that I could see daylight-----which was enough room if insects wanted to come into the room. Continental breakfast had some of the worst chioces I have seen. Bathtub creaked everytime […] I stepped in. Knew there were no other rooms open in the area----several big groups in town. Read more

Check-in was seamless with no problems or issues. Staff was very helpful. Room was clean and HVAC worked great.

Genuine Expedia guest review

The building was older but the maintenance seemed to be a lot of patch work temporary fixes. The windows and doors had some gaps so in the winter it may get cold. Can not complain about too much as the price was very good but I got what I paid for on this one.

Genuine Expedia guest review

Overall our room was clean, it was quiet and a good value. The hotel is easily reached from the highway and downtown Frederick. Work is underway on parts of the parking lot but there were piles of dirt (earth) adjacent to areas that were framed out. The dirt should have been removed and the weeds eliminated. The exterior of the buildings are in need […] of renovation. Read more

Genuine Expedia guest review

The place is really run down. Says its under remodeling but I didnt see anything being done. We were put in a room that the door lock was broke so we could see the light coming through, and the bathroom in that room was disgusting. Also we were put the furthest away from the front desk you could possibly get. We had to request a different room due to […] the door issue. The second room was better but still very outdated. I will pass over this place next time I visit. Read more

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

It's a case of "you get what you pay for". Room was adequate, but had a heavy aroma of disinfectant. Sink valve was loose and difficult to use. Not a lot of places to eat close-by. Obviously an older facility, but if you just want an inexpensive place to stay the night, it meets the criteria.

Genuine Expedia guest review

I was quiet and the room was spacious, cool and affordable. We were only in town for a weekend event and did not wish to spend a lot on a hotel, just needed somewhere to rest and relax for a few hours. This hotel was fine for that purpose. The bed was comfortable and the linen was clean, which is all we wanted.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

We made a last minute reservation at this hotel due to our trip getting extended an additional day. We arrived around midnight; all we wanted was to get to our room and go to bed. We were given keys to a room which was about as far from the office as we could be. The keys (electronic key cards) did not work when we got to the room door. I went back […] to the office and asked for new cards and returned to our room door. These did not work either. I called the front desk and they sent someone to help. He determined that the batteries were dead in the lock on the door and so he offered to get new keys to a different room. The second room door lock didnt work either - same problem - dead batteries in the lock. And so we tried a third room and finally got admitted to a room after driving from room 1 to room 2 to room 3 and parking 3 times. The hotel room was hardly worth the effort and our neighbors didnt give me a lot of confidence that the items in the back of my truck would be there in the morning. I reparked the truck closer to our room and hoped for the best. The good news is that everything was in tact when we got up in the am. "Continental Breakfast" was pretty limited. The toaster didnt work; other patrons were complaining that it toasted too much or too little. The menu consisted of 2 choices of dry cereal, some donuts, coffee and juice. I stay in budget motels regularly and most far exceed this one for value. I'll find a different place to stay next time. Read more

I must say the first thing that I thought of when I saw this hotel was, "Am I in a movie?" The pictures did not warn me of what I was getting into for the night. This was the worst hotel I have ever stayed in. It was about 8pm when I arrived and there was no one at the front desk for about 25 minutes. People had dogs barking all night long and the room […] had a smokey smell even though it was non-smoking. The room was indeed made-up well and when the attendant did come back, he was pleasant.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

Did we save some serious coin? Yes, we did. Yes, I did. Was it easy to block out the sound of 18-wheelers downshifting on the highway right beside the lodge? No. The Econolodge is behind a car lot in an otherwise kind of desolate area. There is the highway running right behind it, but there are not a lot of people around.The bed was comfortable. The […] decoration was outdated featuring wallpaper that was falling off the walls. The television was an old 27" tube tv with poor picture quality. It was clean enough, but didn't necessarily seem so because the decoration was quite drab. The continental breakfast was not great. Toast and prepackaged donuts. Some cereal, coffee, and juice. My wife wishes I would have spent more money on a more secure location with a more modern presentation. We did sleep very well in the beds and saved a lot of money compared to other options, but I can see why it costs less. Read more

It was a great price, all we needed was a quick place to rest and shower and be back on the road in the morning. The hotel wasn't very updated but it was clean, the man at the front desk was very nice and helpful when we checked in at 11 pm. I wish I had caught his name because he deserves some recognition. Word of warning tho, GPS does not direct you […] correctly to the address that is on the website. Read more

Very spacious room and also clean. Better lighting for reading and writing than in most hotels. Bathtub surface was very safe for taking a shower....not the case in two more expensive hotels where I stayed on this trip. Wish they had coffeemakers in each room, but the price is great.

Genuine Expedia guest review

This is the cheapest motel in Frederick on hotels.com, and it is nothing fancy. But if you need a place to crash and aren't too particular, this does fine. It's location is convenient, but it is not scenic. I only stayed one night, and that was fine, but if I needed more nights, I probably would've paid more to stay elsewhere.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The continental breakfast was a joke but a very nice place to stay and the price was right.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The room was clean, comfortable and convenient for an overnight stay. More than likely I will stay there again.
