  • Engine customer Aug 2026

    Very clean on the inside and we loved the historic look on the outside. The surrounding area is very picturesque and walkable. We were also pleased to see that it was part of the Marriott family as we are members.

    My wife and I stayed here for a quick getaway trip and it did not disappoint the hotel is amazing! It’s an old school vibe and it’s all so nice inside, the staff was great! The hotel is in a perfect area with tons of great restaurants and bars and shopping in walking distance. If you’re looking for a place in Fredericksburg to stay the publisher is your spot!

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    Everything was lovely, our only suggestion would be to add a full length mirror behind the room door. That was the only item missing.

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    My best friend and I had a girls weekend in Fredericksburg and stayed at The Publisher. Wow. It is an absolutely beautiful hotel, right downtown so everything is walkable, the staff were amazing, beds were comfy, shower was wonderful. It was really such a great experience. I don't think I would want to stay anywhere else when visiting Fredericksburg.

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    We went out of our way to stay here after two years on our way to North Carolina. We love it so much the only problems that we ran into were the breakfast taking a very long time for some simple items and the server wasn’t super friendly, but we had dinner there and drinks and we got bumped from a deluxe queen double to a king room and they gave us two free drink vouchers and free breakfast which made up for it so it was great overall

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    Good location, reasonably helpful staff, decent restaurant.

  • Engine customer Jul 2026

    Beautiful hotel in a charming town. Walkable to several restaurants. Onsite bar and steakhouse very good. Room clean and spacious with a balcony. Highly recommend!
