What guests think

Across reviews of Holiday Inn Express Prince Frederick by IHG, travelers commend the consistently friendly staff and popular complimentary breakfast, while room comfort is generally solid but recurring noise and occasional maintenance lapses appear, shaping a mixed yet service-forward experience.

Many guests describe clean rooms, though housekeeping frequency and isolated reports of pests or missed details reduce consistency. Facilities feedback is mixed: pool conditions range from warm and clean to needing better upkeep, with occasional elevator glitches and some parking or grounds concerns. The location is convenient for dining and local sights, but some note traffic noise and limited rideshare options. Overall, it is a practical choice if convenience matters and you can tolerate occasional noise and upkeep issues.

Beautiful property. Walking into the room smelled fresh and clean and looked absolutely beautiful! Very clean, friendly staff, and easy parking, oh and reasonably priced!

I've stayed at this hotel several times and it remains my first choice. All the staff are friendly and helpful. During this stay the microwave oven wasn't working right. It was resolved (the cord wasn't all the way in the outlet and in a place I'd never be able to check) and there was no issue about needing to have maintenance look at it...at my convenience. I had added an additional night, prior to my original two nights and the reservations were "blocked" so I could be in the same room for the combined stay. The only negative I've ever had was over the pool. This time, the pool looked much more inviting. The water is a green tint but looks very clean. I went for a swim and the water was warm! The breakfast is better than ever, so many options! Make your own waffles, oatmeal with different items to add, rolls, breads, muffins, cereal, yogurt, fresh fruits and hot foods (eggs, bacon, biscuits and sausage gravy) juices or water. The shower heads are an instant massage... got to get one. The hotel is minutes away from shopping, places to eat and within close access to more than one Chesapeake Bay beaches. The city has an aquatic center, movie theatre and there are nearby nature centers along the main Route 2/4.

Bed comfort wasn’t great, The noise levels are really loud at this location… I’ve stayed here a couple times and always get waken up in the early hours of the night. I also took a dip in the pool and found they don’t have good upkeep with cleaning - there was hair and algae at the bottom of the pool I could feel from the bottom of my feet. I will not be coming back to this location.

Beds were comfortable and bathroom was clean. Found 2 long wood screws on the floor near the window. We were just happy our son didn't step on them. That told me carpet probably wasn't vacuumed prior to us getting the room but other than that is was nice. Pool was small but our family was the only ones in it so that wasn't a big deal either. Nice breakfast spread with free tea and coffee offered all day. Friendly staff

Staff was amazing, polite, courteous, and very helpful. Pool area could've been a little cleaner, and the outdoor area was in need of groundskeeping, grass was extremely high all around the building under the benches you couldn't even sit.

Breakfast was great and had different menu for each day. Parking can be chaotic due to sharing part of it with a drive thru of a Dunkin Donuts.

Our stay was great. The location was fine as there are many food places nearby. We were there for Chesapeake beach & water park which are both about 20 mins away (hotels closer were booked up). Staff was very professional and helpful. We had an issue with the toilet, they got it fixed immediately! I appreciated the urgency. The pool could be jazzed up more but the water was warm which my kids definitely enjoyed. I would absolutely stay again for quick weekend trips. 7/10 recommend.

Manager and the several staff members that we interacted with were very friendly and helpful! However, we reported a severe issue that my daughter was bit by bed bugs and we also found a live male assassin bug. Even though the owner was present at the front desk when we reported it, he did not seemed phased and never even acknowledged us. The staff at the front desk said that they would treat our room while we were gone for 3hrs that afternoon. NO ONE FOLLOWED UP WITH US after we returned. We checked out immediately.

Check in was smooth and accommodating. Service was great except for last night 11/11. There was a very loud party in room next door (We were room 127). Our walls virbated from the bass! At 9pm my son asked the guy at the front desk what time the party would end because my toddler was struggling to fall asleep as was the baby across the hall. The front desk told him the party is over at 10 and everything would end. At 10:15 we again asked if they would soon be done. The guy said, "I don't know. They (the partiers) aren't leaving." He DID offer to move us to a new room but this was not going to work for us. I get people can reserve space for parties but the noise was nearly unbearable. If there is a quiet time/end time for loud music, then please enforce.
