Stayed here for one night in May 2007. I am a frequent guest of Holiday Inn Express. This was my first stay at this property.
Lobby with handcut stone and wood floors is nicer than most Expresses. Room itself was typical for holiday inn express. Clean and maintained. No desk provided, only a smal round table. I've never had problems with noise in a Holiday Inn Express before. However, I found the traffic noise from the highway out front to be distracting. I could also hear conversations and TVs from adjacent rooms. I regretted not packing ear plugs. Complimentary breakfast did not have any pre-cooked items like eggs, sausage, biscuits, gravy, etc. Otherwise pretty standard continental breakfast fair.

I thought the hotel was very clean and neat. The room we received was spacious with a king size bed. On the negative side, there was some outside noise that could be heard from our room. You could hear cars passing on the adjacent road and people speaking in the hall. Nevertheless, I wouldn't mind staying there again. The employees are very nice. The hotel is about two miles from the main strip of town.

Very pleasant and relaxing place. It brought back fond memories of another era, as I sat peacefully out on thier western-style porch in thier old-fashioned rocking chairs, and reminisced of another time when life was less hectic. The German food restaurant across the street was a pleasant surprise, as well. Peaceful, relaxing, and quite reasonable. No problem recommending to others.

We stayed for 1 night on our way back home. This is one of the nicest motor-lodge type of properties I've ever stayed in. The rooms are clean and comfortable. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The free breakfast is good. The decor is quaint and attractive (country style with a large porch and rocking chairs!). The pool is small (it's a lap pool), but it is clean and refreshing.
The only drawbacks are:
1) It is a little bit away from the heart of Fredericksburg (its' on the North end of town, but you're only a mile or two from the heart of the shops, dining, and attractions).
2) The road noise is noticeable when the Semi-trucks roll by on the 87.

Overall it's a nice place to stay and a good value. We'd stay here again.
