Top Shepherdstown Hotel Reviews

Best Western Historic Frederick

10/10 Excellent

"This hotel is clean and conveniently located off of major travel roads and next to a shopping center. The pool was very nice and actually open which is harder to find these days when traveling. While checking in I left some important loose papers at the front desk. I realized it the next morning and a girl from their office continued to look, even through trash cans until she found my papers! It’s the best service I’ve had at a hotel for years!"

Motel 6 Frederick, MD - Fort Detrick

8/10 Good

"Although we had confirmed reservation for months, the front desk could not locate it. We were partway through a long distance drive and very tired. Had stayed at this location in the past so knew it was good. After some discussion on phone with manager, we were given a room to stay and they would sort out in morning after we left. The great news is they got it all sorted before we even left. Thank you staff for a restful night."

Country Inn & Suites by Radisson, Frederick, MD

10/10 Excellent
