    Room could have been a little cooler. No temperature controls in the room. Ceiling fan would have been helpful. It was not uncomfortable though.

    Good value for the location. Staff was very friendly and genuinely wanted our stay to be the best possible! They always asked if we needed anything at all. Easy parking. Felt comfortable and safe.

    Our room was sufficient but small. I’m not sure we had a queen bed as requested. We were assigned to second floor rather than first. We wish we could have controlled air temp.

    Breakfast was very basic. It would have been nice to have had more protein choices.

    The aircon is operated centrally, and we found that we woke in the night quite warm. There was no lid to the toilet in our bathroom.

    The staff were really friendly and helpful. Our room was a good size. The location was perfect for all we wanted to do in Fredericksburg, and there was parking. A selection available at breakfast.

    All was as expected.

    The Inn is located on the northern part of the historic part of Fredericksburg. It's about a 10 minute walk to downtown, but close to the canal path and one of the historic residential areas if you like to walk. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Do note this is an old building--that's the charm of it. Be prepared for squeaky wooden floors and antique furniture filling the bill. There is no elevator/lift. Our room was clean, the bed comfortable, the bathroom more than adequate, and while I never saw a thermostat control the temperature of the room was fine. The breakfast room was a little warm and had just basic offerings of fruit, yogurt, cereals, and prepackaged muffins.

    The breakfast was simple continental. We requested an upstairs room, and could manage with our luggage. But there is no elevator. The room doesn't have a coffee maker, but it has a small refrigerator.

    The exterior looks like a typical motel, but when you step in, the decor is historic, and impressive. The person we checked in with was very helpful, and she took time to explain the history of this property as an old silk mill. She also upgraded our room without extra charge, and it was very kind of her. The location is convenient, and it's in walking distance to many historical attractions and restaurants.

    Tons need a little updated paint and a bit of repair but otherwise quaint.

    Rooms could use a little loving but were clean and quaint. Breakfast upstairs was just a few things, fruit (apples, oranges) , cereal, milk, bagels and Danish. Alot of steps for my husband but he managed. Staff were all exceptionally nice and helpful.
