The Richard Johnston Inn is a historic inn with loads of charm. 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.
Liz provided wonderful host services and we felt very taken care of. Check in was a breeze and parking was convenient. This is an excellent location in downtown Fredericksburg and you can walk to everything. We will definitely stay again!
This was the cutest boutique hotel! 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.
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.
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.
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.
Beautiful surroundings, total eye candy. Beautiful interiors with ultramodern kitchens. Chandeliers in the bathrooms. Gorgeous reading nooks.

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.
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.
