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.

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 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.

All was as expected.

Breakfast was as advertised; okay but not exceptional. I liked the old furniture in the building. It gave it an historic appearance. The staff was very friendly and helpful.

location was good but there were on times during the early evening hours when several cars would race loudly past the hotel. In thought I was along a drag strip.

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.

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

This is such a lovely place, the outside doesn't do justice to the gorgeous interior. We were greeted warmly and made to feel very welcome while there. Our room was spacious and clean. The breakfast is simple continental and self service but has all you need. Location is superb, an easy walk to downtown Fredericksburg with all its little shops and cafés, and within even easier reach there are restaurants and bars. The Red Dragon Brewery is worth a visit!

The only things we didn't like so much were the very creaky bed and the hot water taking over 10 minutes to heat for a shower. You are warned about the water and it's due to the age of the pipes so nothing can be done about that though. Minor points in an otherwise fabulous place.

The continental breakfast was just fine it had everything I needed! The location was relatively good.. but it was a little far from the little center of the old historic area so you had to drive.. no problem with parking though!

Actually the really wasn't anything I didn't like.. it was charming!

It was clear from the beginning of the booking process, to the check-in, and throughout the stay that the Olde Silk Inn staff was there to make our stay something special. And the property itself, with it's unique settting and antique furnishings, added to the charm and mystique. You can always stay at a simple average hotel, but when visiting an historic city like Fredericksburg do yourself a favor and stay at an Inn that is truly reflective of the Town's history. You will not be disappointed.

All good -

The location is perfect, with plenty of on-site parking. It's a very straightforward walk into Fredericksburg. This was our third stay as it has all we need for our visit!

The air conditioning is centrally managed which means the rooms can be a little warm at times.

Breakfast was okay. Nothing special.

Cars with loud music systems or revving engines pulled up directly below the windows throughout the night. Drunk people talked loudly in the hallways outside the thin doors. A noisy night all in all, since you asked.

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.

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.
