"This is a must see for yourself!! The owners have thought of every detail from the over the top welcome amenities to extras like offering beach chairs and towels to go explore the local beach! Breakfast was absolutely delicious! She even prepared a to go breakfast when she found out we had to leave out early one morning! We enjoyed home grown fruits and veggies from her garden daily! If you want to step back in time, but still have the comforts of modern day you have to got to visit this place!...

Top California Hotel Reviews

avid hotel California - Lexington Park by IHG

10/10 Excellent

"Great stay! Staff was super friendly and rooms are definitely soundproof!! My super noisy 3 year old was VERY noisy and we were surprised and delighted to not be disrupting other people’s stays!!"

Fairfield Inn by Marriott Lexington Park Patuxent River Naval Air Station

8/10 Good

"Upon arrival we were shocked to see complete front entrance demolition/ remodeling! We honestly thought the place was closed and we were at the wrong location! After a few seconds, we notice temporary arrow signs leading us to a temporary entrance. Thank goodness. Staff greeting was professional and pleasant. No mention of the demo. We were promptly checked in and given our room #. Room was wonderful and no complaints other than location. First floor, right next to "new entrance" and double elevators. Due to very low sound proofing, the sounds were extremely noticeable. Not wanting to make a fuss, we chalked it up to we know not to get this room next time! However with that said I was forced to play a fan asmr video for at least 8hrs on my phone to drown out the noises. We did have an awesome stay, location was convenient to everywhere we wanted to go. Bathroom was huge, clean, great water pressure and extra towels were given with a smile. Staff was friendly and always when greeted said hello and smiled. We hope to plan another stay soon!"

La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Lexington Park - Patuxent

10/10 Excellent

"My family and I had a great stay at this LaQuinta location for a funeral . David was such a great help checking us in. There were lots of shopping and restaurants near by to choose from if needed. The rooms were roomy and clean."

Hampton Inn by Hilton Lexington Park

8/10 Good

"Arrived for check in & grabbed the keys without checking the room. Upon return (much later that evening/early morning hours) I entered the room to find it wasn’t what I booked. Didn’t have sofa bed as advertised, so I head to the front desk. The lady ignored me ringing the bell, ignored me calling the front desk phone & remained in the room with the camera footage. Eventually she emerged & gave me nothing but a hard time. I informed her there was no where for my children to sleep & showed her my booking. She continually said she couldn’t override to move my room. About 15 minutes later she magically gave me new keys to another room. Place is clean, well kept & local to food/gas, etc. This may have been a one off situation but it was not handled well."

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."
