The Publisher, Downtown Fredericksburg, a Tribute Portfolio Hotel

Loved everything. The staff were fantastic. The V restaurant and the bar were top notch. Would go out of my way to stay here again. This little town was a delight also.

The rooms are tastefully designed and from the 3rd floor we had a front facing view to the hotel entrance. I used the gym twice (excellent facilities - very clean and spacious). And we had dinner at the Steakhouse downstairs - great food - there is something for everyone (including seafood and vegetarian options). A couple of small tips: (i) use the coupon in the room for 15% off at the Steakhouse (we noticed the coupon too late so didn't get to use it!) and (ii) aim for street parking near the hotel - we ended up paying $25 for the lot near the hotel, but had we been more savvy we would have taken street parking which is free on a Sunday anyway!

I was also charged for parking on property and did not. I’ve left messages since my stay for the GM and have not heard back him.

Top notch hotel! Good staff. Clean building. Beautiful building. Solid - no creeks, bathroom spacious with good ventilation. Heated mirror in bathroom so no fog after shower (nice). We had a balcony - they are very small and ours overlooked an old cemetery, but still cool. City parking is available across the street for a fee - we were given a pass for a fee. Easily walkable to downtown Fredricksburg. Depending on rate, this would be my first choice if I visit again.

Never stopping anywhere else on 95!

The hotel's website said there was "self parking" available. What this means is that you pay $30 per night at a lot across the street from the hotel. The infuriated me. In addition, there was NOTHING in the room about guest services, checkout time, room service, menu for the on-site restaurant, not a shred of information about restaurants or other places to visit nearby. That is useful information to me. It almost felt like the hotel was run by robots.

Easily walkable to town or the university. Comfortable room. The staff is very helpful.

clean room, easy parking, bar and restaurant on premises

We loved the location! The room was beautiful and the bed was so comfortable. Access to Anytime Fitness was so nice. The breakfast was delicious!

Looking forward to staying again.

Overall great

We didn’t get enough time to really enjoy as we were passing through but rooms were very nice and seemed like a decent area to stay.

Balcony was great, allowed for terrific air flow on a beautiful Spring day. Front desk staff were top notch!

My wife and I stayed in this hotel for a weekend trip to Fredericksburg. The staff were friendly, and were able to check us in early so we could drop off bags and explore. The hotel is in a fantastic location, surrounded by great restaurants and antique stores. The hotel itself was clean, quiet, and comfortable.

I booked my travel 2 weeks ahead of my stay and selected a king room with a balcony. When I arrived, I was informed that the room I booked was not available. I specifically selected the Publisher because of the balcony option. Had that not been important to me I could have stayed at the Courtyard which was less expensive and actually closer to my meeting location on Thursday. After some shuffling the desk clerk was able to put me in a beautiful corner room with 2 queen beds and a balcony, AND for my trouble, comped my breakfast! She was very pleasant and breakfast was delicious. I thought the hotel photos showed seating on the balcony and there was none on mine. Maybe it was only select rooms?

Slightly understaffed effecting numerous situations where the service was less than optimal.

so beautifully done The sheets did not fit the bed. They need to upgrade to fitted bottom sheets.

Classy and comfortable

1. The fridge had an odor of old food along with stains in it 2. The only mirror is the bathroom sink 3. There was nowhere in the shower to place my own toiletries; also difficult to wash legs without a step of some sort 4. The sink clogs and the water was cloudy, also food was coming out of the drain and there seemed to be an odor there as well 5. Called guest services/housekeeping 3 times and asked for pillows around 9pm, still had not received any by 2am. Called again and could not receive any during the night due to only one person on staff. Fortunately received complimentary breakfast. However, we still did not receive pillows the next day until we went downstairs to inquire. We then received new pillows, but there were no pillow cases on them. The staff assured us there were, but the original pillows we had were covered in an inner and outer pillowcase. The new pillows only had the inner pillowcase, and were crumpled up.
