Driveway is easy to miss but worth finding for a quiet location and everything was as it should be. This is the cleanest we've experienced in this price catagory and even in many above it and that includes our stay here last year! We did have dogs last year and the room was still satisfatory considering that . I joined... more

Stayed at the Econo Lodge Fredericksburg overnight during a trip around Virginia and D.C. Room was clean and service at front desk was great. Area was safe and I had no concerns. Will stay here again if I return to the area. more

A little dingy, but appeared that they were trying to keep it clean. Could use some rennovation. Based upon other negative reviews, was pleasantly surprised it was as nice as it was. Okay for the solo business traveler looking just for a night's sleep. Beware charge for safe in room. It will be automatically added, unless you request it removed... more

10 years ago after visiting the surrounding Civil War battlefields of Virginia this was a nice place to come and relax. Unfortunately that is no longer the case. The overall condition of room 134 is regrettably very bad. The carpet and furnishings appear to not have been upgraded in the last ten years and the odor coming out of the... more

I paid for non smoking and the first room I was booked into it wreaked so bad of cigarettes, sex, and alcohol I actaully dry heaved. The second room was smoking but I accepted it because I was too tired to switch again. The next morning I requested to move to a non smoking room and it took over 3... more

My father and I decided to stay near Fredericksburg for 3 nights while visiting the States to see the MXON at Budds Creek. We were after some cheap accommodation and were attracted by the price and location. The hotel is a stones throw away from exit 126 of I95 and the staff were efficient at getting us checked in. We... more

On behalf of our hotel staff, I am writing to let you know how delighted we were to receive your kind words of praise. Given the very nature of the hotel business, the hours are long and demanding. Day or night, good service depends upon people willing to give their very best at all times. That's why it's truly rewarding...

We went to office and they said all non smoking rooms gone-sorry. We said one was supposed to be reserved for us, all of a sudden they... more

The web search said rooms started in the $30's, the hotel web site was $10 more and nothing in the $30's, We were given a smoking room because we had a dog. The smell in the room from smoke was so bad that the dog did not want to go in the room. The room was clean but it smelled... more
