We stayed here because of a family wedding....and we LOVED it! Such a wonderful to stay in downtown Fredericksburg. The hospitality, the room, the decor, the snacks and food...all.of it. ##### Vicky Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Yvette Jul 4, 2022 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The inn keeper and all other staff with whom we interacted were friendly, helpful, and efficient. They accommodated our slightly early arrival and late departure, which made our trip extra relaxing. The bed was super comfortable and all areas of the inn were clean, tidy, and welcoming. We enjoyed relaxing indoors, both in our room and in the public areas inside the inn, and out on the patio. The breakfasts and snacks were good. The location of the inn is excellent and easy walking distance to multiple shops and restaurants. ##### Yvette Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2022 ### 8/10 Good #### Joe Oct 1, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Downtown Fredericksburg is pretty loud, but that’s not the hotel’s fault. Parking is tough down there but the hotel has its own parking lot off of Sophia St, and it’s really easy. We had to leave early so we didn’t get to experience the breakfast, but we’d definitely come back. Everything was first rate. If you can’t do stairs you might have trouble, but that didn’t bother us. ##### Joe Stayed 1 night in Sep 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Gary Sep 19, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Loved the late nineteenth century decor. We took full advantage of the sitting room to entertain guests. Great to walk around Fredericksburg and enjoy the unique shops, restaurants, and history. Overall a luxurious and interesting place to stay. ##### Gary Stayed 2 nights in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### gordon Aug 30, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities The Inn has been there since the mid to late 1700s, and served a decisive purpose during the Battle of Fredericksburg during the Civil War. The facility is very nicely decorated with mostly period-style furnishings, with very comfortable beds. The other accouterments, such as the wine and cheese charcouterie board and the early departure breakfast, made our very short stay a pleasant experience. ##### gordon Stayed 1 night in Aug 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jeffrey Apr 13, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Very nice. ##### Jeffrey Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Mar 27, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Lovely historical inn in the centre of Fredericksburg.

We stayed in the Virginian room, furnished with antiques and modern amenities, alike. The Inn is supposed to be haunted but we felt no ghostly presence! Rather, the warm welcome from the super friendly and efficient staff, plus the delicious, freshly cooked breakfast, made us feel completely at home. Highly recommended for a short getaway or as a base for exploring the surrounding area. ##### Sheik Stayed 1 night in Feb 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Sophia Jan 28, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Liz provided wonderful host services and we felt very taken care of.

In the Middle of the best part of Fredericksburg. The staff were oh so welcoming, a very nice compliment to The charming facility. We are like stay here again hands down over a more ‘contemporary’ stay in a chain elsewhere. ##### Andrea Stayed 1 night in Dec 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Richard Sep 9, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Quaint historic house only problem was the air conditioning was too loud, but it was over 95 degrees. So better loud and cool than sweaty and hot. Pillows uncomfortable. Nice place. ##### Richard Stayed 1 night in Sep 2023 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Joann Oct 9, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Beautiful surroundings, total eye candy. Beautiful interiors with ultramodern kitchens. Chandeliers in the bathrooms. Gorgeous reading nooks. ##### Joann Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2021 ### 6/10 Okay #### FRANCIS E May 21, 2020 Liked: Property conditions & facilities Disliked: Staff & service #### $$$ They decided not to have anyone at the facility because of the Corona virus. For half the price the Courtyard a couple of blocks away maintains people on staff. The room was a bit cluttered and the arrangement of the furniture impractical. It also smelled. Showtime 2 was the only premium channel offered and there was no refrigerator in the room. Best features were the breakfast offerings and the comfortable ambiance of the lobby areas. ##### FRANCIS E Stayed 1 night in May 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Linda Mar 7, 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### What a wonderful place! We had an amazing stay at the Richard Johnston Inn. The building is beautiful and is furnished exquisitely! The staff are so friendly and helpful. Betsy made the most delicious cookies and recommended an excellent Italian restaurant Orofino's. Beth made a delicious breakfast. The location is excellent. You can easily walk to many historical places, shops and restaurants. ##### Linda Stayed 1 night in Mar 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Kristin, Northern VA Feb 17, 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities History of the property was amazing.

Breakfast was top notch! ##### Kristin Stayed 1 night in Feb 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### John Jan 3, 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Even the Ghosts are friendly! We had unknowingly booked a room without an ensuite bath and were offered an upgrade to a king bed with bath on the top floor at no additional charge. Very nice of them. Breakfast was great and everyone was extremely pleasant and helpful. They say that even the ghosts who reside there are friendly and although we didn't encounter any I can believe it. ##### John Stayed 1 night in Jan 2020 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Scott, Baltimore Oct 22, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities I enjoyed the stay and the feeling of being apart of America’s history. ##### Scott Stayed 1 night in Oct 2019
