“Exceptionally Nice”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed March 3, 2013

Usually, I seek out independently run hotels or inns; however, this particular Courtyard (which is a franchise) is located smack in the historic district across from the Visitor's Center. I've stayed in Marriott hotels before but not in a Courtyard Marriott so cannot compare them. I will say they successfully designed this hotel not to feel like a chain. There is original, local art and photography throughout the rooms and common areas. And, there is a really cute little Bistro/Starbucks in the lobby which serves B/L/D with an attractive bar area. Though I chose to eat at local restaurants downtown, the little Bistro looked quite appealing, especially if one is pressed for time. The reservations staff had assigned me to room 437 which was very quiet, facing the back of the hotel with a decent view of town. The only noise was the occasional train whistle which was muted by a double storm window which appears to have been added since the hotel opened in 2009. The original windows were designed to slide open horizontally to allow fresh air. Perhaps some of the windows still do; and, if you're a fresh air aficionado as I am, it might be wise to ask the front desk about this possibility. The majority of my stay was cold and rainy so it was not as much of an issue. The room was designed not to feel like a typical box. There was a shelf over the desk area with three framed photos from local artist as well as architectural flourishes that softened the feel of the room. The bath was modern, spacious and spotless. Last but not least, all the staff were exceptionally nice and helpful. Lauren at the front desk patiently advised me about the parking options and many other questions proffered. Thanks Lauren for going out of the way to assist me. I would highly recommend this hotel and look forward to staying again in the near future.

Room Tip: As for a room facing the back of the hotel to avoid traffic noise on Caroline St. This is a mid-rise...

“My favorite when staying in Fredericksburg”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed February 25, 2013

I travel to the area regularly on business and this is one of my favorite places to stay. A nice clean and well maintained hotel with a pleasant staff. Parking on the street or in nearby city garage which is also clean, well lit and safe. Situated in old downtown area one can easily walk to several restaurants and bars. During the day many antique and arts type stores nearby and a trolley with stops along the way. Except for the train coming through the station a few blocks away this town is very quiet at night. No trucks, no sirens.
If you prefer to be next to the highway and the shopping malls (I do not) there are many other options but the downside to those is having to drive in traffic and listen to all the noise.

“Comfortable, convenient overnight”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed February 11, 2013

We primarily chose this property because of its convenient location downtown. 5 min walk to the train station. Steps to restaurants.
Staff were friendly,welcoming, and accommodating. We had a king room which afforded plenty of space. Bed was comfortable and room was clean. Room had a mini-fridge (though it wasn't plugged in - luckily we figured that out otherwise our leftovers would've gone bad). Room was quiet - didn't hear anyone else.
Would stay again!

“A nice surprise!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed January 28, 2013

I wasn't too sure how this hotel would be since it's located in the Fredericksburg's Historic District but I was pleasantly surprised to be greeted by a friendly staff. A clean lobby and bar area. The room was good size with amble space for two adults with suitcases.

Avoid the food at the Pub down the street. The Bavarian restaurant by the train station serves HUGE portion and has good service.

Our group had a great time at the hotel bar. The bar staff was very friendly and helpful.

“Great overnight stay”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed January 23, 2013

My husband and I spent one night here in a room with a queen bed. The central location was very convenient, making it easy for us to have dinner downtown and then lunch downtown the next day. Check-in was easy. Our room was large and well-decorated. The shower and bathtub were awesome, and the bed was very comfortable. However, the bedspread was too thin, and they didn't provide any extra blankets in the room, as far as we could see. By the time we realized this, we were too exhausted to call or go down to ask about it.
I remember another reviewer commented that the curtains were too thin, but I think he may not have realized how to close both of the curtains. Once we figured out how to close both curtains in the room, it was very dark, and my husband was able to sleep in much longer than he usually does, which was nice.
We just parked our car on the street in front of the hotel, and even though it was Saturday, when the 2-hour parking rule was supposed to be enforced, we didn't get a ticket for parking there for an hour or two past our limit.
Tip: We discovered we were in Fredericksburg during their restaurant week, which we took full advantage of- they offer dinner for $20 and lunch for $10, which is half of what they charge in DC during restaurant week!!
