Recent Reviews in California

Spark by Hilton California Lexington Park

10/10 Excellent

"Clean room, polite and accommodating staff."

Island Inn & Suites, an Ascend Collection Hotel

8/10 Good

"The hotel was better than some of the reviews we read. Sure, it was a bit tired, but overall the location was lovely. The rooms were fine. The views were especially nice. It wasn't terribly expensive at least off season. The staff was friendly and helpful."

avid hotel California - Lexington Park by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Staff were always helpful, and breakfast was great. Also loved the availability of coffee and teas in the lobby. Shower and bathrooms were clean. And the bed was super clean and comfortable."

Comfort Inn & Suites Lexington Park near Pax River

10/10 Excellent

"Fantastic breakfast and clean, comfortable rooms."

Holiday Inn Express Prince Frederick by IHG

8/10 Good

"Great location. Clean and spacious room. Great shower. And an AMAZING free hot breakfast!!! Only drawback is having to drive 2-3 miles for dining options. I would say a solid 4.5 stars. Would stay there again. Best free breakfast I have had in my many travels."

The Inn at Leonardtown, an Ascend Collection Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"A clean, pleasant hotel with lots of light and friendly staff in the middle of little Leonardtown. I actually asked the front desk if they were new because of how clean everything was and they said they did a major renovation about 5 years ago. Easy (and FREE) parking across the street. Our room (a king bed) was clean and quiet. If we're ever in the area again, this is where we'd stay."

Hilton Garden Inn Solomons

8/10 Good

"No Continental Breakfast ! No 24/7 Coffee Bar ! And Pay for Parking is No Way to greet your customers !!"

Quality Inn Solomons - Beacon Marina

8/10 Good

"Everything was good, standard hotel/motel stuff: little coffee pot, mini-fridge, microwave, tv,a/c - everything worked as expected, furniture, carpeting, lights, bathroom all looked newish and everything was very clean. Desk folk were pleasant, didn’t have much interaction. The big plus is the location, right by a huge marina (if you like looking at boats) and the Calvert Marine Museum- combines natural history and the commercial history of the area, has the Drum Point lighthouse (you can tour) and a boat tour of Patuxent Harbor, plus fossils, river otters, fish. Calvert Cliffs / Flag Pond parks are a 10 minute drive if you want to dig for fossils yourself. So: comfortable place, very reasonably priced, close to all sorts of stuff; definitely worth it."

2 Mi to Lighthouse: Waterfront Home w/ Dock!

8/10 Good

"Nice and quaint, large enough for big families but only one bedroom on main floor/all bathrooms on main floor (harder on elderly family). Pretty area, convenient to multiple places."
