I had a wonderful stay at the Richard Johnston Inn. The rooms were nice and very spacious, with a cozy atmosphere and exceptionally clean. The double bed was comfortable, although a bit high for shorter individuals like me, but using the footstool provided solved that. The service was top-notch, with friendly and knowledgeable staff who even took care of a small wedding cake. The location was absolutely perfect, surrounded by shops, restaurants, and rich history, making it ideal for exploring Downtown Fredericksburg. The dining experience was very good, with delicious meals and a welcoming dining room that encouraged mingling with other guests. The facilities were well-kept and added to the overall comfort of the stay.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The room was very spacious and had a comfortable four-poster canopy bed, but there were some issues like water damage above my bed and peeling paint in the shower. The service was top-notch, with engaging and friendly staff who provided excellent recommendations for dinners. The location was perfect for our trip, right in the heart of the Historic District. However, there must have been a problem in the kitchen one morning that affected the dining experience.
