    I was also charged for parking on property and did not. I’ve left messages since my stay for the GM and have not heard back him.

    Top notch hotel! Good staff. Clean building. Beautiful building. Solid - no creeks, bathroom spacious with good ventilation. Heated mirror in bathroom so no fog after shower (nice). We had a balcony - they are very small and ours overlooked an old cemetery, but still cool. City parking is available across the street for a fee - we were given a pass for a fee. Easily walkable to downtown Fredricksburg. Depending on rate, this would be my first choice if I visit again.

    Never stopping anywhere else on 95!

    The hotel's website said there was "self parking" available. What this means is that you pay $30 per night at a lot across the street from the hotel. The infuriated me. In addition, there was NOTHING in the room about guest services, checkout time, room service, menu for the on-site restaurant, not a shred of information about restaurants or other places to visit nearby. That is useful information to me. It almost felt like the hotel was run by robots.

    We didn’t get enough time to really enjoy as we were passing through but rooms were very nice and seemed like a decent area to stay.

    Balcony was great, allowed for terrific air flow on a beautiful Spring day. Front desk staff were top notch!

    My wife and I stayed in this hotel for a weekend trip to Fredericksburg. The staff were friendly, and were able to check us in early so we could drop off bags and explore. The hotel is in a fantastic location, surrounded by great restaurants and antique stores. The hotel itself was clean, quiet, and comfortable.

    I booked my travel 2 weeks ahead of my stay and selected a king room with a balcony. When I arrived, I was informed that the room I booked was not available. I specifically selected the Publisher because of the balcony option. Had that not been important to me I could have stayed at the Courtyard which was less expensive and actually closer to my meeting location on Thursday. After some shuffling the desk clerk was able to put me in a beautiful corner room with 2 queen beds and a balcony, AND for my trouble, comped my breakfast! She was very pleasant and breakfast was delicious. I thought the hotel photos showed seating on the balcony and there was none on mine. Maybe it was only select rooms?

    Slightly understaffed effecting numerous situations where the service was less than optimal.

  • Engine customer Apr 2026
