“We're Back”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed September 20, 2012

Since we enjoyed our first experience at the Inn last year, we decided to spend our Anniversary there this year and take advantage of yet another coupon deal. We were able to reserve the same room that we had last year and again enjoyed two nights of restful sleep. We found the Inn to be pretty much the same as last year. The continental breakfast was a bit more varied this year than was last year and the opening of their reception/banquet facilities was very nice. They've done a beautiful job on the building. We were invited to enjoy the music and swing dancers that were performing the Saturday night that we were there. We definitely plan to go back again next year, but may have to request first floor accommodations because it was quite difficult for my husband to manage the stairs and there didn't appear to be an elevator.

Room Tip: Rooms on the far back side of the building are a bit quieter.

“A visit to Fredericksburg”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed August 27, 2012

Great location to downtown Fredericksburg, wonderful customer service and a very charming suite. The winery's in the area was a wonderful experience and the local brewery was just as bit rewarding. Dinner options were plentiful, as we went with one of the Italian Restaurants on meeting street, outstanding meal.

“Comfortable stay”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed August 14, 2012

A friend and I spend 2 nights at the Olde Silk Mill. We rented a two-bedroom suite that had a shared bathroom in between the rooms. The beds were comfortable and the Inn was quiet. My room had a sink and mirror in it, in addition to those in the shared bathroom.

We discovered that the toilet in our bathroom did not work on the afternoon we arrived. The staff was not able to address the problem that evening, and there was a mix-up in keys to another suite being left for us after-hours. We ended up needing to use the toilet on the ground floor off the public sitting room for that night and the next morning. (I got a few strange stares as I tromped down there Saturday morning in my sleeping clothes!)

In their defense, the staff was gracious about the situation and gave us a 10% refund on our room for the inconvenience. They also fixed the problem early Saturday so that we had a fully working bathroom for the rest of our stay.

The one small drawback to the Inn is its location. It is slightly off the beaten path, so you will need to walk about 10 minutes to get to the old town area. The walk is a pleasant one, through a mainly residential neighborhood.

The staff was helpful and provided good answers to our questions about things to see and do. Overall, we had a pleasant stay.

“Charming in comparison to the interstate motel chains”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed August 10, 2012

Great little place on the edge of Historic Fred'burg and easy walking distance to the downtown restaurants. Room was small but well equipped and cosy. Beautiful interior, old fashioned decor and civil war prints on the walls. Self service breakfast is basic but adequate, but there are plenty nearby breakfast options if you'd rather have something prepared. All in all, this is a charming property, and highly recommended for a stay in Fred'burg, but if you are a fan of the plain vanilla experience of the motel chains you may want to stay on the interstate.

We had several wedding guests booked here and the staff was very helpful in arranging for late arrivals, keeping ghift baskets ready, etc. The hotel is nicely refurbished in a classical style and very comfortable. Highly recommended
