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.
