A little dingy, but appeared that they were trying to keep it clean. Could use some rennovation. Based upon other negative reviews, was pleasantly surprised it was as nice as it was. Okay for the solo business traveler looking just for a night's sleep. Beware charge for safe in room. It will be automatically added, unless you request it removed... more

10 years ago after visiting the surrounding Civil War battlefields of Virginia this was a nice place to come and relax. Unfortunately that is no longer the case. The overall condition of room 134 is regrettably very bad. The carpet and furnishings appear to not have been upgraded in the last ten years and the odor coming out of the... more

I paid for non smoking and the first room I was booked into it wreaked so bad of cigarettes, sex, and alcohol I actaully dry heaved. The second room was smoking but I accepted it because I was too tired to switch again. The next morning I requested to move to a non smoking room and it took over 3... more

My father and I decided to stay near Fredericksburg for 3 nights while visiting the States to see the MXON at Budds Creek. We were after some cheap accommodation and were attracted by the price and location. The hotel is a stones throw away from exit 126 of I95 and the staff were efficient at getting us checked in. We... more

On behalf of our hotel staff, I am writing to let you know how delighted we were to receive your kind words of praise. Given the very nature of the hotel business, the hours are long and demanding. Day or night, good service depends upon people willing to give their very best at all times. That's why it's truly rewarding...

The web search said rooms started in the $30's, the hotel web site was $10 more and nothing in the $30's, We were given a smoking room because we had a dog. The smell in the room from smoke was so bad that the dog did not want to go in the room. The room was clean but it smelled... more

We stayed at the hotel in early september 2006. The rate was cheap and we felt we received good value for the money. There were no problems with the room and the complimentary breakfast was fine. The hotel was easy to find and had a number of fast food outlets within a 2 minute drive. If you need a room... more

The office smelled badly as soon as you walked in (the doors were open) but past that, the staff made an attempt to be friendly. My husband, myself & our young daughter were assigned to a 'newer' ground floor room (would not like to see what an older room looks like) with kleenex stuffed into the peep hole. The parking... more
