The Hotel is realitively new and everything is clean and in great working order. The shower had three cannisters mounted on the wall for dispersing shampoo, conditioner and body soap. The bed was comfortable with an ample number of pillows. There are plenty of lights spread throughout the room. The breakfast was good with a decent selection of hot food (eggs, great bacon, pancakes, cereals and toast) along with a broad selection of drinks. Hotel is in a good location in the Dahlgren, Va. area,...

My stay here has been great! I wish they had double beds for the suites, but the king bed did its job. Staff were very pleasant.

A clean, pleasant hotel with lots of light and friendly staff in the middle of little Leonardtown. I actually asked the front desk if they were new because of how clean everything was and they said they did a major renovation about 5 years ago. Easy (and FREE) parking across the street. Our room (a king bed) was clean and quiet. If we're ever in the area again, this is where we'd stay.

We actually were meeting with family for a funeral in nearby Callao, and this provided a very good place to meet and stay. The staff were very pleasant and helpful and the place is very clean, neat, attractive and comfortable. The breakfast was surprisingly good! And we appreciated the coffee available around the clock.
