Shower water would get hot and the room had a weird smell
Clean and comfortable. Basic amenities but close to everything in Frostburg; can walk to restaurants, bar, ice cream, etc. Great affordable location for exploring the mountians of western MD. Stayed here before (previous owner) and will stay here again.
Very close to everything!! There’s a hometown freeze across the street for some excellent food and treats. The stay was great. The bathroom was a little small but it had good water pressure and hot water. The bed was comfortable and it was nice and quiet and we felt safe at night.
Overnight in Frostburg MD. The hotel was a basic place to spend the night, nothin fancy but clean ,Quiet and comfortable. we were able to walk to downtown.
The room was filthy. A tray from the refrigerator was on the floor. A toilet paper roll was stuffed between the bed and nightstand. The toilet had old urine on the underside of the seat. The drain in the shower would not drain well. When you used the sink the water would back up into the shower along with specks of rust from the pipes
The manager of the motel was extremely nice. Unfortunately the room was not clean. They could have done a better job cleaning it in between guests. The first warning sign was the strong smell of food that someone cooked in the room prior to me checking in. Also there was hair in the sink and in the shower. Lots of stains all over the furniture and carpeting. Bathroom floor had a floor mat that was dirty as well. All and all it was pretty gross. The bed and bed sheets were clean though.
No one was available for check in. When I called the number for service, they were at Chic-Fil-A and would be there when they were done. Room smelled like cigarette smoke and dirty feet. Was told, it just smells like that, they can't get it clean. Carpet was stained and had cigarette burns. Microwave was dirty, there were dead/frozen ants in the freezer, the shelf for the refrigerator was on the floor, didn't dare use the shower.
We booked based on the good reviews but can't believe we stayed at the same motel as the reviewers did!. First, I have to say, that we were told that the motel was changing hands and the fellow who checked us in said he had just been cleaning carpets. I believe we were the ONLY guests the one night in Sept. 2022 that we stayed, and it is possible that the hotel was not accepting guests and our booking should not have been accepted; there was a lit No Vacancy sign in the window. When we opened the door to our room, we were greeted with a strong smell of wet wool but the carpet did not look at all clean. The shower looked like a bucket of dirty water had been emptied in it: visible hair, dirt and who only knows what else. There was no window to open for fresh air. The only window looked out on an enclosed glassed-in corridor so there was light, but no privacy. The sheets and towels appeared clean enough, but the fact the towels were navy blue made me wonder if they were hiding dirt. We have been travelling quite a bit for over 6 years and this may have been the worst place we have ever stayed. The only good thing about it was the price, but I would never stay there again even for free.
Nice and very clean smaller/older motel. Walking distance to a good steakhouse and across the street from an ice-cream shop. A++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Quiet, safe, affordable, and well maintained older style motel. Room access inside a weather proof corridor, especially nice during inclement and cold/snowy weather. Near several good dining options w/n walking distance as well as a bar/grill located on the property that opens in the late afternoon/early evening. Have stayed here multiple times when passing through the area. Price is best that I've found of all other lodging options in the area.
