This is a lovely inn, perfectly located in the historic district near some great restaurants. I was at a convention where there were many big hotels within walking distance of the meeting, but only 3 miles away was this little gem. We had a perfect win room with comfortable beds and a real sense of history. Hot breakfast was included and was delicious. The Susans made our late arrival easy, and were so responsive to my questions about parking.

The Kenmore Inn is a beautiful bed and breakfast in the downtown historic district of Fredericksburg. Suzanne was a wonderful host. No pressure. Felt like home but back in time. Self parking right across the street and museums and great restaurants within walking distance. Room was beautiful. An absolute must for Revolutionary/Civil War history lovers and very romantic place for couples. Plan to return and spend more time in town. I travel extensively and highly recommend!

As should be expected of a historic building, the bathroom fittings were not exactly those of a five star hotel, but this was more than compensated for by the hotel’s history, charm and location. Almost all the attractions and restaurants in the historic area were a few minutes walk away, and the location was quiet with easy parking. Recommended.

Graham, Those 1930’s fixtures in our standard rooms are original to the house and while we love the authenticity, we are looking to do an upgrade. Hope to have you back and let you try one of our other rooms! Thank you for your stay and for leaving such a wonderful review!

Kenmore Inn is our favorite Fredericksburg accommodation. It could use a little maintenance, such as some touch up needed for trim paint and leaky faucet.

Beautiful Colonial Inn in a Beautiful Colonial Cit
The Inn was beautiful, had all the modern amenities needed, came with a full menu breakfast served by a friendly and personable staff. Our room was large and the bathroom was adequate. We were two blocks from the old down town area in a beautiful and historic neighborhood. We loved it and will go back again if we are ever in that area again (which we intend to be).

great place but a few things would have made our stay much more comfortable: one additional chair in the bedroom, a larger or different shape shower, a vanity or shelf over sink to set toiletries on, cable tv, and more outlets for phones, watch, hearing aids, CPAP machine etc.
Stayed 3 nights in Aug 2023
Response from Susan Sherman, General Manager on 27 Aug 2023
Harold, I am so sorry were less than comfortable in your room. Unfortunately, that room feels a bit “crowded” with two chairs, however, we encourage our guests to make use of the additional chairs in the hallway. While I can’t do too much about the shower, I would be happy to look into a shelf for the bathroom, thank you for your suggestion! In regards to the outlets, we have ten available in the bedroom area, so I’m not sure how many more we could get in there or if it was USB outlets you were referring to; would love to know so I can look into that if need be. Although our cable is basic, we do have cable TV n all our guest rooms. Would love to have you back again, as we thoroughly enjoyed having you and Susan stay with us this past week! Thank you so much for your feedback, I certainly do appreciate that.

Charming historic property with beautiful antiques, books, paintings and a comfortable sitting area. The free breakfast was excellent, with omelets cooked to order, great coffee, and a nice fruit dish, with a friendly and helpful server. While obviously older, our room was comfortable and well appointed. The Kuerig in the hall, with coffee and hot chocolate, was a nice touch. It was a lovely stay, and we would be happy to return.
