Courtyard Fredericksburg Historic District

Located in the Heart of Historic Old Town Fredericksburg, it’s a great place to stay. Convenient to everything… Bars and Restaurants, Antique Shops. Just Valet park the car while you are in old town, you won’t need it. If you arrive by Amtrak, it’s just a quick block away, and on weekdays you can take the VRE (Virginia Railway Express) into Washington DC so you don’t have to drive. While they have an onsight restaurant… highly recommend exploring the nearby eateries down on Caroline Street or just around the corner. And while there is a Starbucks in the hotel, there are several EXCELLENTLY coffee bars within a block of the Hotel.

I’m always a fan of Marriott Hotels, and this one is no different… this place is super cute right in the center of historic Fredericksburg. The hotel sits on a corner with two entrances available… valet parking for only $ 12 a day, or $ 8 to park in an off site lot. (pay the extra $ 4)
Large lobby area with plenty of tables and chairs, 24hr market area with snacks and drinks available to purchase. Modern bar area including a bistro serving breakfast, lunch and dinner. Love the private tables with your own tv to control. Free internet throughout hotel and no issues with connecting. Also a nice business working area with computers, printer and fax machine.
My room was very spacious with a large floor plan, including a mini fridge, desk, couch and chairs. Beds were super comfy with lots of pillows, seemed brand new. Great view of the shops and old brick buildings on the streets below.
Overall very nice hotel, that’s clean with lots of space.

Very nice hotel right in the heart of historic Fredericksburg. Lots of great restaurants within walking distance. This hotel and the staff have never been anything less than excellent. Love the décor and the cleanliness of this hotel. The staff is always pleasant and warm. You won’t regret staying here. You do have to pay for parking and it’s a block away, or for the same price, you get valet parking with unlimited access to your vehicle. But for the service I get, I’ll deal with the parking.

The room was modern and clean and the front desk staff were nice. The in house restaurant on the other hand… cold wings, they «ran out» of quesadillas! (How does that happen?) there was nobody else in the bistro so that should have been clue #1
Stay for the rooms but go elsewhere for dinner

What a great hotel! We didn’t expect all that much as it is considered an economy hotel, but our stay was exemplary! The staff was helpful and kind. The rooms were modern and clean and the location is perfect for the downtown area. Late checkout (12pm) was also an added bonus. The Parking situation In the area is not to great but the hotel’s $ 12 valet service mitigated that. Would definitely stay there again.

I’m giving this hotel 2 stars not for the actual hotel, but for the managerial staff. Our reservation was made with 1 credit card, but when we checked in, we gave (and they swiped) another credit card. When we checked out, they charged the reservation credit card — the grueling process to have this refunded has changed my thoughts about Courtyard in Fredericksburg. My first call, the manager was off, I left a very detailed voice message. The next day, I had not heard back by noon, I called again. I was told the manager was at her desk, but again, I received her voicemail. No return call has been made to me as of yet. The next day, my sister that stayed with me, was able to get a hold of the manager, who rushed my sister off the phone, said she would process the change… The incorrect card still has not been refunded — Doesn’t leave me with a great impression — won’t be staying here again.

Visiting Fredericksburg after moving away 12 years ago so we wanted to stay near the shops and downtown area. This hotel was perfect. The only problem is parking, but there is a garage they use about 2 blocks away. I found a spot on the street in front so it was no issue for me. The room was very nice, spacious and well done. The bed and pillows were fantastic!!! Close to many places you can just walk the street from shop to shop and walk back to your room. Great experience.

The boyfriend and I have stayed here a handful of times. Twice when passing through town and then for a few nights when we were waiting to move in to our house.
The rooms are great, spacious with a great layout and the customer service is always fantastic. The location can make parking a bit difficult, depending on when you arrive, but we were able to find free street parking every time.
During our last stay there was some construction going on across the street, which made for some early wake-​ups, but it wasn’t the end of the world!

We stayed one night. The location is great, no question. BUT we were supposed to have a refrigerator in our room. Wasn’t one. It took three hours for us to be able to get into our room, as it wasn’t cleaned yet when we arrived. No hand lotion in the bathroom. The walls are paper thin, as another reviewer mentioned and we could hear the amorous couple next door.

New Yorkers are notorious for their high expectations– naturally– high service and amenities is what they’re used to. But for us regular folk…
This is a great hotel. Right downtown (hence the parking «issues;» sure, its the «boonies» but you are DOWNTOWN), walking distance to great shops, restaurants and the historic sites. Staff is excellent and the hotel is clean and modern. They don’t have free breakfast but I have stayed at numerous Courtyards and free breakfast is definitely not the norm.
If you want to experience Fredericksburg but can’t afford the B&Bs, this is the place to be.

Always a pleasure to stay here! Overall great experience. Friendly staff goes out of their way. I read that parking was an issue but no issue at all. Seems as though some Unilocalers are critical about this but no issue.

The hotel was clean with comfy beds and the staff was great. The downside is the parking costing $ 12 for valet only…$ 12…for Fredericksburg? And there is no free breakfast, it cost $ 15 per person if you are a guest… definitely not worth it when there are so many restaurants in walking distance.
Anyway, the negative part of the hotel is the paper thin walls and floors. We were on the 3^rd floor and we can hear each and every step of the people above us. It was AWFUL!!! Since they were up until 12:30 am walking around… we were up… even with a noise machine on. Then at 2:30am, the neighbors next to us returned to their room and we can hear them opening and closing the closet, bathroom door, and just moving around. I was able to hear them talking as well… all over a noise machine. Needless to say, we did not get any sleep at all.
Nice hotel for the location and being in walking distance of restaurants/shops…but awful if you actually want to sleep.

Comfy king size beds! The décor in the room made it feel cozy. The bathroom was spacious enough for two people to get ready in there without bumping into each other. There was even a mini fridge for us to store our leftovers from some of the great restaurants nearby.
The night we stayed there, a sign advertised for a jazz group in a conference room. It was free up until a certain time, and after that it was $ 5 per person. We arrived to check it out after the free cutoff time, but it was an awkward sight: one lady sitting in a room with a bunch of small tables, watching two guys play music. There were three people working at the bar (where nobody was hanging out), and one of the girls jumped over to a concierge stand to inform us of the charge, and let us peek in to see if we thought it was worth it. The duo sounded good, but we felt it was too awkward to stay. If they were playing in the bar area we probably would have paid the $ 5 and hung around on the couches.

Recently stayed here for a wedding. I cannot say enough for the staff, who went way above and beyond to accommodate the wedding party (and a last-​minute weather issue). Everyone — from the front desk, to the bellhop, to the bistro staff, to the chef preparing omelets at brunch — was as friendly and as helpful as they could be. Hats off to these folks. The property itself is also quite new, nice and clean, and in a great location. Highly recommend staying here if you’re in the Fredericksburg area.

I must disagree with Chris. I had a great experience at this Courtyard. Great location, friendly staff, and if you don’t like the coffee you could walk a few blocks to Hyperion and have the best coffee south of the Mason-​Dixon line. The hotel is only a few blocks from the Fredericksburg battlefield .They have the coolest Civil War memorabilia store right next door.

Beautiful location in historic downtown Fredericksburg. The room was nice and typical Courtyard Marriott style. The staff was excellent and very friendly and caring. Our room was clean & quiet. I think it’s a bit pricey, but it is in a prime location. It’s walking distance to many café’s and great restaurants as well as tourist attractions. I’m a local to the area and my husband & I stayed here just to have a night away & we’d do a weekend away there again.

Good hotel. Well located in historic district. Service was excellent and although our baby’s nap delayed housekeeping from cleaning the room, the MOD went out of his way to partially service the room. Starbucks in lobby and hot food/​snacks were available 24 hrs. Will stay here again.

What a dump!!!
This is a horrible hotel! Top ten worst places that I have ever stayed at! Were it not for the difficulty of moving my elderly parents, I would not have spent a second night at this horror show.
I booked a two room suite at this place. This is apparently the best ‘room’ that they have. When I showed up they gave me a room with one bedroom and a living room with a pull-​out couch. All rooms were interior; all of the windows looked out into an atrium from the lobby. No natural light whatsoever.
I sent my elderly parents to sleep in the actual ‘bedroom’ and took the pull-​out for my self. This horrid aluminum torture machine is the most uncomfortable sleeping-​device that I have ever encountered. I felt like Elaine from that old Seinfeld episode…
This ‘hotel’ does not have a parking lot or garage. They give a song-​and-​dance about how no buildings in «Historic Fredricksburg» have parking, and then they ask for $ 10 to park your car. You can park literally in front of the building for free. I’m cool with a hotel in a big city not having parking, but when in the boonies, I expect parking.
Unlike most Courtyard hotels, this dump does not have free breakfast. They have a ‘franchised’ (aka horrible) Starbucks with nasty weak coffee that costs $ 2 a cup. The food is absolutely inedible and not free.
This hotel does not have a real bar. They have a small version of a bar that closes very early. We returned at a few minutes past 11pm and wanted some cocktails and they were not able to accommodate. They were able to sell us some beer, and, with frustration, opened the bottles.
There is a «Fitness Center» if you define that as one stationary bike and one treadmill in a windowless room. There is also a very shallow, short indoor pool.
Bottom line: no, just no. Avoid at all costs.
