Look at other options

The property is in desperate need of upgrading, it is old rundown and dirty. Our room had not been cleaned as there was hair and a hair tie in the bathroom sink.

The room was adequate, the bed comfortable. The entire property is firmly fixed in the 50's and is desperate need of refreshing.

Older property but great stay

Older version vintage hotel. Room was clean and bed was comfortable. Outdated but cost and service was great based on the type of property it was. We will definitely stay again if visiting the area.

Has the essentials, but needs some updating

The place met our needs. We left very early, came home late and went straight to bed. It met our needs, but the microwave was broken and the mini-frig broke while we were there. We didn't need either one, but the room needs an update/repair of those items. No breakfast, no room cleaning on longer stays, but host offered free hot coffee each morning. Much less expensive than other places in town, so we got our money's worth on this three-day work trip.

It served the purpose of a place to sleep. The area was quiet which was great. Motel is dated but in good condition. The room offers cable tv, coffee maker, dryer and small fridge, shampoo, conditioner and bar soap provided. Bed was too firm for my comfort.

Decent Value for the money

Decent little non-descript place. Fine for our stay as we weren't in the room much. Nothing fancy but good overall value. Room was good-sized and relatively clean. Bed was comfortable. What we paid was a bit pricey but there was a big event in town. Normal prices are more reasonable.

Dump in Fredericksburg

I'm fed up with Hotels.com rating system. This is the 3rd time this year this has happened. This hotel was rated 8.2, and the reviews were outstanding. You can't trust any of this. This motel did not have housekeeping; it had a window unit air conditioner that shut on and off constantly; the TV audio cut on and off; the parking lot was not even paved. The coffee creamer was spoiled; the door lock was flimsy; the toilet was dirty. The wifi was so weak it was useless.
Front of motel gravel drive with big pothholes.
Window unit air conditioner, TV that had audio that cut off and on.
This door handle was loose and flimsy. We did not feel secure. There was a dead bolt. but you could not lock it from the outside when you left the room. The key did not fit it.

At first glance this place can look a little dated but the bed is amazingly comfortable along with the pillows. The motel is quiet, very close to down town, cute and charming. The staff are all friendly and helpful. And the motel is very convenient to everything you need or want. I felt extremely safe traveling alone here. Should I come back I will definitely be staying here!
