Inn At The Olde Silk Mill

very pleasant stay

February 17, 2012

The only problem we encountered is waiting for the hot water. We realize this is an old inn and the pipes are very old. Other than that, the stay was very pleasent and the town is very interesting and historical. We will definetily consider staying there again.

OK place to stay

November 28, 2011

A charming B&B it isn't, but it's an OK place to stay. Be aware that bedandbreakfast.com charges a hefty commission vs what the B&B charges.

Innkeeper Response
There is a commission rate paid to BedandBreakfast.com when a reservation is made through their website. I did over hear from the front desk staff that this guest was a little disgrunted about the rate he paid was slightly higher then what he found on our website. I do wish I would of had the opportunity to discuss this matter and perhaps offer a discount. The bed and breakfast website is a very convenient, relialbe site. However, if the guest is not satisfied with the agreed upon rate at reservation time or check in, then would be a good time to dispute. I understand that feeling like you have been overcharged does not set you up for a positive visit. You are welcome to return and inquire about our AAA, Military, repeat customer and other discounts.

Great time at the Inn

The pictures make all the rooms look a big bigger than they really are. I wasn't dissatsified but just expected a bigger room. It was a nice, clean, and comfortable room that we love. Everyone was very nice and accomodating (sp?). We had a great time and will definintely being going back.

Wonderful visit

My husband and I recently stayed at the inn and were delighted with our experience. This was our first time at a 'bed and breakfast' type of lodging and we weren't sure quite what to expect. Anna was a lovely hostess and very knowledgeable about the area. Nancy, the housekeeper, was a sweetheart. Our room, although not the one I originally chose, was like "sleeping in grandma's bedroom,'( the room with the bed in front of the three windows) turned out to be a great choice for us. We both agreed that we had three of the best nights of sleep we had had in a long time. If I were to change anything, it would probably just be to offer home baked goodies instead of tinned cookies, but that is a very minor point. We plan on visiting the Inn again when we're in the area and would certainly recommend it to others.

When Warmth Meets Charm...

The second we arrived at The Inn At The Olde Silk Mill, we were graciously greeted by the Innkeeper's beaming smile and warmth. She was extremely hospitable, welcoming and helpful in suggesting all of the must-do's in Fredericksburg. (We would in turn even run into her later on that evening at one of the local pubs!) We stayed in the charming King George Suite, which was tastefully decorated in beautiful rich tones and exuded a definite sense of regalness and class. The suite was exceptionally clean and the bed was by far one of the most comfortable and "heavenly" sleep experiences that I have ever enjoyed. My only area of noting was the continental breakfast, which featured your standard fruits, bagels, cereals, danishes and beverages - all consumed off of styrofoam kitchenware. So, while the breakfast was nothing to write home about, overall, we had a very lovely and relaxing stay at The Inn!

The Inn was beautiful as we expected and the staff was extremely knowledgeable about it's history as well as the area.

The staff was warm and friendly. They recommended local places to visit. Our room was beautiful but the only glitch was the thermostat cover was missing.

A little piece of history....

Very pleasant hotel, nice lounge to sit and talk with your friends or other guests and a magnificent staircase in the main lobby. No lift, however, so remember to pack lightly! The staff were most helpful and informative about the Hotel and things within walking distance. There were many leaflets and books in the small lounge which told you all about the American Civil War and where the many battles were fought in the area, one in the town of Fredricksburg itself. I loved the George Washington impression given by the hotel owner and his proclamation at breakfast, added a personal fun touch to a friendly hotel. I also liked the fact that if you were a bit late for breakfast, there was not that "hurry up" feel about the service. That added to the charm for me as being punctual mars the holiday for me. An old building which retains the charm of the Old American look. The Floors are wooden which means no sneaking in quietly after lights out! I had a peek around some of my friends' rooms and was pleased to note that each was different. Some large double tester beds, four posters, twin beds, all with lovely lace curtains and that Old South feel. They had the old 60's phones in the rooms, but I am not sure if they worked. Ours was not plugged in and I had not the need to test it out. To see the rooms, please do look at the website as they have all the information there and much better pictures than I could take. I would definitely stay again.
