Older but well maintained, clean, and plenty of coffee supplies, shampoo & soap, heat and AC are seperately delivered but both work well. Parking lot is pea gravel but is firm enough for heavy motorcycle side stand support. No included breakfast, but a short walk to a Bbq place that serves coffee and breakfast items. Coffee is also available in the motel office in the morning. Great German restaurant right next door, easy short walk.

This ia an older motel that is often overlooked. The room was very clean and comfortable. The motel was very quiet and has a pool that was enjoyable.

Cute little hotel right at the end of the strip. The hotel was super clean, nice towels, beds were a little noisy but super comfortable. The hot water was hot and the bathroom was super cute! Nice little view to wake up to also!

Great value. A bit of away from the main drag but that’s good! It was quiet. Beds so comfortable I had a good night’s sleep. Minor issue with the toilet leaking but staff responded quickly. I will stay here when I come back to Fredericksburg.

Great choice for a budget-friendly trip to Fredericksburg. The King suite was larger than average with comfortable furnishings. It came with appliances (coffee maker, microwave, and mini fridge). Bedroom gets very dark and our stay was also very quiet as the motel is set a good distance back from the road and the rooms back up on an empty stretch of land. The heating and AC are dated but functional and usable. Staff are friendly and helpful. Great water pressure and temperature.

Comfortable stay… We stayed at this place while visiting Enchanted Rock State Natural Area. Private parking was available on-site. Our room was spacious, neat and clean with good decor. The owner is very polite and friendly. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. I would heartily suggest this place and hope to return there in the future.

Great value, esp for Fredericksburg. We got a 2 double bed room for 3 people. Room was clean and comfortable. Very basic but did have a refrigerator and microwave. Staff were very friendly and offered good recommendations on where to eat. We will definitely stay here again next visit to Fredericksburg.

Sweet little motel that gave us a very comfortable sleep. Room was clean and bed was very comfy. We came in very late and they were able to drop our key off to another hotel since their office was closed. The only thing that didn’t make it perfect was that it was very dark and rainy and the driveway wasn’t lit well, and the water had a little weird taste (bring bottled water)
