Top hotels in Downtown Frederick

Visitation Hotel Frederick, a Tribute Portfolio Hotel
Very friendly staff; exceptionally clean room. Even with the vintage architecture, the Visitation felt modern. The only drawback was the people in the adjoining room - they were very loud. Some rooms do not seem to have isolated acoustics.

Spark by Hilton Germantown Washington DC North
The room was clean but it was laid out ackward. The bathroom was hard to maneuver with a walker or a wheelchair. It was fairly large but it had no furnishings; like cups, glasses,silverware. The sink was accessible .
