Very comfortable and clean but...

Liked: Proximity to appointment I was in town for.
Disliked: Very noisy. I’ve stayed here 4 times this was by far the worst stay.The occupants of the room above ours were extremely noisy. At 11 pm it sounded as though they were doing calisthenics around the room. Also, we noticed some folks behind the building smoking what appeared to be ( strong smell) marijuana. We were leery of leaving our room after dark.

Great location and pet-friendly, but...

Liked: I recently stayed at the Country Inn & Suites by Radisson in Frederick, Maryland, and while the hotel has some strong positives, there are several areas where improvement is needed.Strengths:One of the most notable advantages of this hotel is its prime location. Situated conveniently off the interstate, it offers easy access for travelers. Additionally, the area boasts numerous dining options, many within walking distance or just a short drive away, making it a convenient choice for those who prefer variety in their meals.Another highlight is that the hotel is dog-friendly, which is an important feature for pet owners, particularly those who travel with service animals. Finding accommodations that welcome dogs can sometimes be a challenge, so this is a definite plus.Lastly, the bed was exceptionally comfortable, which is crucial for a good night’s sleep. After a long day of travel, having a well-supported and cozy mattress made a difference.
Disliked: Areas That Need Improvement:Unfortunately, while the exterior of the hotel gives the impression of a well-maintained property, the interior tells a different story. It appears that Radisson has not invested in meaningful updates, particularly in the dog-friendly rooms. While pet-friendly accommodations often experience more wear and tear, that should not come at the expense of cleanliness and upkeep.Cleanliness & Maintenance:One of the first things I noticed was a dank, musty smell in the hallways. This immediately raised concerns about the overall maintenance of the property. A fresh, clean scent is often an indicator of proper upkeep, and unfortunately, this was lacking.In the bathroom, the lack of cleanliness was so concerning that I chose not to shower during my stay. This is particularly disappointing, as bathroom hygiene should be a top priority in any hotel. Proper maintenance and deep cleaning routines could go a long way in improving the guest experience.Noise & Comfort Issues:While the bed itself was comfortable, other environmental factors significantly impacted sleep quality. The doors throughout the hotel slam shut very loudly, which is disruptive, particularly for guests with PTSD or those traveling with service dogs. Additionally, the windows were not effective in blocking out road noise, meaning traffic sounds from outside were easily heard inside the room. A quiet, peaceful environment is essential for rest, and this was unfortunately lacking.Temperature Control:Another frustrating issue was the lack of effective climate control. While the room had a thermostat, it did not appear to actually control the temperature. The wall-unit temperature gauge was also inaccurate, making it nearly impossible to adjust the room to a comfortable setting. Proper climate control is a basic expectation in any hotel room, and this needs to be addressed.
