Location, location, location: Main Street B&B's greatest asset. We spent a long weekend here end of March. My goal was to drive to Fredericksburg on Friday, park the car, and not drive it again until we were ready to leave town Monday morning. Mission accomplished. Strengths: Location. I know I already said that, but it is worth repeating. The lowest price option for our stay, room 207 is small, but clean and comfortable. Queen sized bed in this room is very cozy. We slept like babies. Breakfast was decent. In-room coffee maker is a must for us, and they gladly gave us extra coffee upon request. Balcony overlooking Main Street is a huge plus; we enjoyed more than one glass of Texas wine there. Opportunities: We only saw our room, and it could use some TLC aesthetically. The large jacuzzi tub was awkward to shower in; we'd prefer a walk-in shower. Pool appeared a bit dirty. Parking is sparse. Exterior needs some TLC. Main Street carries traffic passing through town on US 290 and US 87. So there is some road noise. Our room is in the back of the building, so while we heard the traffic at times, it did not keep us from enjoying a comfortable night's sleep. Why four stars? Because this is our go-to home-away-from-home in Fredericksburg. And did I mention the perfect location? Yes. Yes, I did. read more

Great location, but that's it. The room was dirty, toilet seat was broken, no shower, bed was super old and soft, HVAC on the roof kept us awake and there was no door to the bathroom. Went to the office several times during normal working hours and there was never anyone there. Avoid this place! read more

Main Street Bed & Breakfast - Nice jacuzzi and pool in back - Bed & Breakfast Near Me - Fredericksburg, Texas

I just returned from a 2 night "solo",stay.I couldn't have loved it more.I was in room 207 which is at the top of the stairs,in the back of the building.This room has a view of the pool.While the room is a bit dated,that really is the idea with this room.I loved the exposed rock wall in the room.Letting you know that all the rooms are all upstairs and the stairs are outside.This room has a wonderful,but very high bed.The bath tub is also very high,which could be a problem for some people.There is no separate shower.The tub/shower are wonderful... lots of hot water and great water pressure.Breakfast was delivered right on time and hot and delicious both days.There is parking,which is a real plus because Fred is so busy.The location is perfect,as it's right in town.This place is not fancy,so if you're after that,look elsewhere.I found it very comfortable and it was everything I was after.I will certainly return,one day.The hostess was very helpful with suggestions I asked her for.I did not use the pool but it was very well maintained and pretty. read more

Let me start off with the PRO's! Location is PERFECT! No need for Ubers - we parked in their lot and didn't move the car for 2 days. The room is absolutely lovely - beautifully decorated with a huge bathroom. The bed was very comfortable and the pillows were heavenly. We loved that breakfast was served to our room each morning. If you're looking for a quiet, peaceful getaway.....this is not your place. If you are a heavy sleeper, you'll probably be fine. But if you're a light sleeper like me, you'll be miserable. We stayed 2 nights and both nights were nonstop noise. The corridor leading to the rooms was constantly noisy - loud shoes, people on cell phones, yelling back and forth, etc. The walls are paper thin and we could hear water being turned on in the room next to us. The worst part was the street noise. Loud trucks blowing horns and loud engines/exhaust all night long. Just be warned of this!! The other downfall.....housekeeping. The shower had hair on the floor. The glass doors into the restroom were filthy. They leave you dishes and silverware in the room. We used some of it on our first night to share dessert. The next day after housekeeping had come, the dirty dishes were left. All that had been done was the bed was made and fresh towels left. I felt that a little more housekeeping could have been done so that was disappointing. read more

107 W. Creek Street Cottage. Great location Spacious. the experience could have been so much better. This cute house needs TLC. the ceiling fans are old, wobbly and caked with dust. The a/c is old and doesn't cool well. Staying there in the summer months is not comfortable at all. By the time the home cool was 5 am. The bathrooms need to be caulked and tubs refinished, they are old and stained and look dirty. The carpet is filthy. remove it. or replace it. If you're wanting your guest to come back please address these issues. Such a shame as we love the area. read more

Okay, this place is nice, the pool looks nice, the porch overlooking the street is nice and the location is AMAZING! You park and walk EVERYWHERE! It's so nice!! You can get as schmammered as you want and just walk home! It's also open container in Fredericksburg, fyi! Anyways back to the B and B. The breakfast is huge and homemade, which is nice, it's delivered to your room in between 8-9, but we went hiking one morning and got back at 8:45 and we did not get breakfast (because we weren't there when they knocked). Which is really frustrating, but like I understand whatever. We stayed in the smallest room, but we didn't care because we weren't planning on being in the room except to sleep, and shower. Which is good because the tv didn't work. Speaking of shower, it had a HUGE bathroom! And a fabulous jetted tub! Oh it was so nice, but it only had a shower head. So you had to sit in the tub to shower, and it was so awkward and cold and funny. I think the other rooms have real bathrooms (from the pictures) it's our fault for going cheapest. My tips: 1) stay here if you plan on walking and enjoying everything outside the room. 2) don't get room 6 3) be awake, and in the room from 8-9 for the breakfast. read more

I thoroughly enjoyed our stay here! My SO surprised me with a trip to Fredericksburg this past weekend and he found this place for us. It has a great location, located right on E. Main St. and Washington. One of the first things I noticed that I am not a big fan of - tiny parking lot. I am not sure where we would've parked if it was full, I guess on the street. I loved the feel of this B&B (my first one), because it truly felt like we were renting a room out of someone's home (but with hotel amenities). I loved that our room came with a jacuzzi tub (such a plus!) and that breakfast is delivered to your room. Our room (206) was small, but quaint. Had a nice 2 seater dining table, next to where our fridge and coffee maker was. The place is a bit outdated, but I didn't mind too much - it was homey. The walls are very thin, and each time someone entered and exited, you can hear it (for the most part). I will probably stay elsewhere next time I got to Fredericksburg, but this is a good option if you're looking for something low-key and homey! read more

We rented the Falling Star Retreat through Main Street Bed & Breakfast for my bachelorette party in March. I usually take a girls trip to Fredericksburg and stay at the main location on Main Street, but because of our large party, we wanted a more private space. At first glance, the house was beautiful and large, the perfect size for our party. Our experience went extremely downhill when we were getting into the bed in the master bedroom and found an old used (stained) female medical diaper between the sheets in the bed. We were disgusted and appalled. The medical diaper was picked up with a plastic zip loc baggie and put in a bag so that we could dispose of it properly. The girls sleeping in that room felt very uncomfortable and couldn't sleep. Upon telling the front desk (her name was DeeDee) at the main location on Main Street, we began to feel better as she expressed how "appalling" and "disgusting" finding the diaper was. DeeDee said she'd get the owner, Jennifer, in contact with us to remedy this ASAP. Jennifer said she would go to the house to inspect the diaper. We had left the diaper in a zip loc baggie by the bathtub in the master bathroom (because the diaper was old, used, and disgusting and we were very grossed out by it). Jennifer later texted claiming that she changed the bedding, but she believes that the diaper was "very wet and fresh" and she was "pretty positive you have a very embarrassed guest who it belongs to." All 11 girls can attest to the fact that the diaper was, in fact, old, and stained. All of the 11 girls in attendance were under 35, and were asked about the diaper before we told DeeDee. As the bride, and friend of all of these girls, I can promise that none of them use diapers, and if this was one of theirs, they would have been honest. Our entire group was not only disgusted by the diaper itself, but incredibly disgusted by Jennifer's reaction to the entire situation. Jennifer was incredibly defensive, saying that she "made the bed" herself and nothing was in it. The mistake we made was not taking a picture of the diaper, and trusting that Jennifer would trust us and help remedy the situation. I'm including screenshots of our texts with Jennifer to exemplify how incredibly rude she was to our party. I am a loyal patron of Main Street Bed & Breakfast, but I will not book with any of Main Street Bed & Breakfast's locations in Fredericksburg ever again and will caution anyone planning to use them. I fully believe the cleaning of any and all of their properties is horrifying, and Jennifer was incredibly unprofessional and rude to our party. read more

My boyfriend and I checked in late but it was no problem. The outside looked a little sketch but as soon as we opened the door to our room (208) we were so impressed! The bed is a king size bed and extremely comfortable. I slept so well. There is a little table area with seating to eat although we just ate our breakfast in bed ;) There is also a refrigerator, a small freezer, a microwave for your leftovers and a coffee maker. The bathroom is huge! There is a two seater soaking tub, a stand up shower and the windows allow nice natural light to come in. There is a sliding door that allows for some privacy to separate the bedroom from the bathroom. Breakfast is included with the stay. They deliver from 8am-9am and if they knock and you answer - you get breakfast! If you don't answer, they keep moving on and you miss out. Breakfast was lackluster besides the fresh peach muffin. YUMMMM. One thing I did not like (and it's very small!) is that our room had a terrible view from the bathroom of some construction happening outside. It would have been a cute view of main otherwise. This is a bed and breakfast so keep in mind that the walls are very thin. If you're a light sleeper, I hope your neighbors are quiet! We heard people walking through the hallways pretty early in the morning cleaning. Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay in room 208 and we will definitely be back. read more

Celebrating our 36th wedding anniversary in Fredericksburg and trip has been made better by staying at the Main Street Bed and Breakfast. Our room is charming and cozy. Could not have hoped for a better place to wrap up a long day than in the comfort of our room. Would definitely stay here again. read more

Undecided...The address shows all the rooms/locations are in Fredericksburg on Main Street, which is not the case. Between driving to the actual location, waiting on a an Uber, etc...it wasted hours of our time and if you know anything about Fredericksburg, everything closes early so wasting time is a big deal. However the place we ended up at was very nice, cute and romantic. If that's what you are looking for it's great. Or even groups to hang out with. But if you're looking to be in Fredericksburg most of the day and not having to worry about drinking and driving, it's not the place to stay. read more

Main Street B&B is a great escape in Beautiful Fredericksburg. We spent one night in room #201, which was spacious and comfy. The separate living room area is really nice. The breakfast was delivered at 9am to our door and was both hearty and delicious. The only drawback to this specific room (and 202 I presume) is the historic windows do not block any of the traffic noise. Cars not a big deal, but 290 has semis and motorcycles all throughout the night and both are quite loud. So that brings me to the customer service part of this review. The front desk manager (owner?) was very accommodating a and recommended the Enchanted Suite at their sister property just kitty corner from us. She let me check it out, and for the $20 and 100' increases, the difference was heavenly. This suite is more updated, larger and has a killer bathroom. Much roomier even if no separate living room. So overall a fantastic experience here! read more

Yikes! This place needs updating terribly. For the price it is NOT a good deal in any sense. It is right in Main Street... and has off street parking - that's the positive. The pool area is depressing: old furniture; spotty plants; pool surface in need of repair; stone surround deteriorated... The room we stayed in was dark and no good lighting - all but one light switch were inoperable. The room needs repainting and looks dingy. The bath is cramped and the "shower/tub" combo is a 30 year old jacuzzi tub that cramps the entire bath and has discolored fixtures and surface. The building is covered with ivy on the NW Side that houses a million birds - sounds like you are stuck in the Alfred Hitchcock movie the last few hours before si set and starting at 6:30am when the birds start up again. The breakfast delivered was very nice... not much on style/presentation, but friendly service and decent food. All in all... many other places to stay in this town for the $200 a night/2 night minimum. We have never used for their other rentals... this is just our experience with the very sad, neglected and overpriced Main Street B&B. read more

When we arrived we were able to catch the front desk lady to check in with an actual person unlike some of the other reviewers experienced. The location was very convenient walking distance to all the shops & restaurants on Main St. The pool was not kept up at all it was full of leaves I guess during the fall/winter months they don't keep it up. We stayed there the first week of November, the hot tub was covered but I'm not sure it even worked. Our room was small, paper thin walls you could hear every-time someone walked by & their conversation. The room wasn't that clean it was dusty & there were hairs in the tub. There was no shower just a tub with a pull out shower head. Our second day there the toilet messed up, the chain came off the lever & we called the front desk lady @4pm ish & after numerous calls she ended up coming to "fix" it at around 9 so yes we were without a toilet for all that time. She didn't "fix" it she used a paper clip for a fast fix and didn't seemed surprised it had messed up. One of the only bright spots was the breakfast it was hot fresh & homemade - an egg item with bread & juice. They definitely take time out for the breakfast. Check out was different there was no one at the front desk area door was locked so us & another couple just stuck our door keys in their mailbox there. The parking is ok not a lot of areas to park, beware of the bump coming into the parking area from mainstreet especially if you have a low sitting car. I'm not sure how the parking is on the busier days we went during the week but the spots are small. I recommend just parking along the sidewalk area by the stairs if possible. Don't think I would stay here again. read more

This place was ok. Wish they offered bottles of water or snacks like other b&b. I spent $190 today on a Sat. One thing I really liked was the emptiness of this place. Towel in the restroom kind of smelled. Made me wonder about the cleanliness of the dishes in the room. The floors were loud, you can hear workers walking and banging stuff around. Wish they had better shampoo /travel size instead of fun size. Granted this isn't a hotel. Didn't really sleep well due to the noise but it was a quiet getaway from home so that was nice. For the price, I think next time I'll try somewhere that offers a little more. There are B and B here on mainstreet I reviewed while my stay here that offers free beer and wine, water, treats on Main Street. Sooo review before you book. read more

Main Street Bed & Breakfast - Bed & Breakfast Near Me - Fredericksburg, Texas

I've been coming here every year since 2012. It almost feels like a second home at this point. Up until this year it was managed by Main Street Bed and Breakfast but it looks like the owners are opening up to some other services as well this year. Breakfast is no longer included but that hardly matters because this place is so perfectly located near Main Street. You can easily walk to any number of eating places. You've also got a full kitchen so you can pretty much prepare any meal you want if you're looking to save a few bucks. A very nice living room along with 2 beds and 2 bathrooms make this a great place for a family to stay or even couples. There's also a hot tub in back although I've never bothered to use it. Bottom line is this is currently a great place to stay in Fredericksburg. Just don't book it when I'm planning to be here! ;) read more

Main Street Bed & Breakfast - Bed & Breakfast Near Me - Fredericksburg, Texas

We stayed at the Abble House for New Years Eve and had a fantastic time. Quaint little two bedroom house but the best thing about this place was the location. Walkable to just about anywhere downtown. The house comes with a $7 per person per day credit at the Main Street Cafe which has an awesome breakfast. The only reason I can't give it a 5-star is that it was missing amenities that other houses we've had in Fredericksburg have. There was no wifi in the house. The closets did not have hangers. And the bathroom door didn't quite shut all the way which wouldn't be a big deal if it's just family... but we were there with another couple. But the location is perfect and the price is affordable. read more

My husband and I stayed a night here and it was beautiful and exactly what we needed for a night away. Room 209 is where we stayed, the entrance was on the balcony on the back of the building. We had a view of the pool and a very cute table with chairs where we sat to eat breakfast and read. Beautiful room, comfy bed and large bathroom made this quaint B&B the perfect place to stay on Main Street. read more

A great location, a cute pool, a scenic front balcony, an accommodating staff, and a comfy room made this a great find for my brief stay in Fredericksburg. Because I knew I would be leaving early in the morning, I arranged to have my breakfast delivered the night before. The staff was nice about this and even checked with my on the balcony before they entered my room to bring the food. I also had to call to get help with the TV and the staff again was kind and helpful. The reason they only get 4 stars is because of the bathroom - it was outdated, with slippery vinyl floors, pealing wallpaper, no towel racks, and cheap supplies. This is definitely not a 5 star experience, but neither is the price, so I was pretty happy with the whole stay read more

Fredericksburg, TX is a charming town that has burgeoning wineries and a nascent food and arts scene. What better place to visit for a relaxing get away from Austin or San Antonio and what better way than to experience a local bed and breakfast? Though my girlfriend and I have made many day trips to Fredericksburg, we never stayed in a local B&B; this was our first time. Main Street B&B operates a number of B&Bs in town. We got the Enchanted Suite at the Cameron Inn, which is right behind the Main Street B&B check-in office on Main Street. It wasn't a cheap suite, as I ended up paying $199 a night, but it was not as expensive as one of the separate cottages that Main Street and other local B&Bs offer. As we arrived late, management left our room keys and directions to our B&B in a their mailbox by their office's front door. We were able to park in their private lot, but it is small, tight (especially with SUVs), and seems to fill up at times with visitors who are not necessarily staying at the Main Street B&B, in spite of the tow-away warning signs posted by management. Having retrieved our keys, we walked to the Cameron Inn. Though Fredericksburg seems to be a safe community, the front door to the inn was a windowed French door with only a single lock. There were times during the day that we found either the front or back door to the Cameron Inn unlocked or slightly propped open for housekeeping. Like I said, though Fredricksburg seems to be a safe community, I would like to see this property install more solid doors with key card-style entry, rather than lock-and-key style. Once inside, we walked upstairs to our suite, unlocked the door and were treated to beautiful, solid-wood furniture and fine appointments. The Enchanted Suite featured a comfortable king-sized bed with quality sleeping pillows. A solid-wood, dark espresso armoire housed a high definition, flat-screen TV with network channels only, which is too bad because I was expecting cable for the price I paid. The nightstands, glass table, ceiling fan, and lighting were all very tasteful. The bathroom featured both a Jacuzzi tub and an open shower that was tiled and had a nice seat. The sink countertop was solid, dark granite with separate his and her sinks, and the mirrors, sink cabinets, and canned lighting were gorgeous. The bathroom also had a little Mr. Coffee coffee maker with average, national-brand coffee provided. The coffee was loose grounds and, unfortunately, there were no directions on how much coffee and water to add to the coffee maker. This was a drawback since I need caffeine first thing in the morning. I also wish that the door to the bathroom wasn't a French door, so as to allow more privacy. Additionally, the placement of the toilet, and the lack of separate door, almost allowed one to see the toilet from the bedroom. I believe management should consider putting in a sliding door for the toilet area to allow more privacy. The bathroom could also use towel racks, as we had to hang our bath towels on door knobs. The property owners obviously spent a lot of money on quality furniture and fixtures for the B&B. The room was clean and the entire suite had a nice faux wood floor. Further, our suite had two small closets with a shelf and rod to hang clothing. We also had an ironing board and iron, which is always a nice amenity. It would have been nice to have two luggage racks that would have allowed us to unpack our suitcases more easily. Also, though they had a nice shampoo and conditioner in the shower, they forgot to provide us with soap, so we used shampoo to wash our hands the first night. We called and got some bar soap the next morning at the office. We awoke for the inclusive 9am breakfast. We requested the vegetarian breakfast and it featured a very tasty and well-made potato and bell pepper quiche, a bran muffin, a cup of freshly-sliced fruit, and a homemade biscuit. The non-vegetarian meal had a sausage patty (didn't look homemade), the same quiche, a blueberry muffin, a cup of fruit, and a homemade biscuit. The coffee was very nice and the orange juice was freshly squeezed. We enjoyed the meal at a large table with our fellow lodgers and had very pleasant conversations. Afterwards, we headed out to enjoy the town. Unfortunately, due to a medical emergency that required an ER visit, we left the B&B early and didn't stay our second night. We left our keys with an explanatory note in the mailbox outside the office. I was thinking that we would receive a call from the office the next day to complete the checkout, but we didn't. After leaving a phone message and calling twice, I finally spoke with someone who verified our checkout. Though they were in no way obligated to offer me a discount, I thought that since I left early under emergency circumstances, they might offer me a comeback-deal, like half-off on a weekday during low occupancy season. Alas, the service was decent, but not overly courteous. read more

This b&b was in a convenient location- didn't use my car at all. Check-in was a bit sketchy, just a key in the mailbox for the discrete exchange. It was very clean and tidy. LOVED that breakfast was brought to our door. THE FRITTATAS WERE FUCKING FIRE. Would go back just for the breakfast. Overall, recommend this place if you're looking for a nice, relaxing place! Reasonably priced too. read more

We stayed in the Juliet room. Very small room with little space for clothing and suitcases. There were two small uncomfortable chairs in the room. It was a jacuzzi only with a small wand to "shower". The tub is very hard to get into and out of. Nighttime is very noisy because of the truck traffic on the highway right outside your window. Breakfast was very nice and we met some great people. The selling point of this place is LOCATION. It is so close to downtown. You park your car and don't have to drive anywhere for a couple of days. If I were to stay again, I would choose my room carefully and go during the week when the rate is almost 1/2 price compared to the weekend. read more

The location was great - just blocks from Main Street- but that's the only positive. We had rented from Main Street Bed & Breakfast prior on a new and fresh location and we're pleased . This time we rented Adam's House. We NEVER recommend to anyone . The outside had nice front and back porch area, but they were so filthy, did not invite use. There were cobwebs and layers of dirt everywhere . The house was fairly clean , but we called when we first got there that clothes had been left in the closet .....guess they never sweep/look in there The kitchen sink had a sponge that looked like it was used to clean floors - nasty ! Several lights had bulbs burnt out. This house had a lot of potential if cleaned properly and updated . Again, we will NEVER rent from Main Street Bed & Breakfast or recommend them. read more

As a surprise for my wife's 30th birthday, I wanted to book a B&B in Fredericksburg for a Saturday night. I quickly found that every single B&B in town has a strict policy stating weekend stays cannot be broken up between Friday and Saturday night, instead you have to book both nights together. I called around and Main Street was said they would release the unbooked weekend rooms on the Monday before the weekend, and then I could book a single night. I chose the Althaus Suites - Kerinne's Cottage room. I didn't know it at the time but this was essentially a small house! It was located off-site from the main B&B building 3-4 blocks down the street. It had four rooms--a kitchen, bathroom, living room, and bedroom. It also had a spacious backyard with a fire pit and hot tub. The bathroom also featured another big jacuzzi tub. The bed was very comfy and had a dozen or so pillows; we spent a lot of time napping on the bed that Saturday after wandering through the town's attractions. The price on the weekends seemed to inflate dramatically compared to during the week. I spent $202 for one night of lodging here, but from what I could tell that is the going rate for any B&B in town on the weekend. We had minimal interaction with any staff here, just a minute to check in and check out. The breakfast on Sunday morning at the restaurant attached to the office was very standard with pancake, egg, omelet types of options. We each received a $7 credit towards a breakfast item with our stay, so we still ended up paying $10 or so for breakfast. I would recommend the Kerinne's Cottage to a friend. read more

We stayed in room 205 which is on the second floor about halfway between the front and the back of the hotel. The room has a separate living room, kitchen, bedroom, bathroom and jacuzzi tub. I posted pictures of the inside of the room and the pool area. The hotel has a great location and is located in the heart of the Main Street We paid approximately $120/night which includes a great hot breakfast. The only downsides of this particular room is that their was no cloths closet or regular shower. The jacuzzi tub has a pull out sprayer you can use to take a shower but it's really a pain. Overall it's a good value and I would stay here again. read more

We stayed in the Althause Suite 1. It was so cozy and clean. The fireplace was nice while you're in the tub or in the living area. We slept well and relaxed. It's about 2 blocks off Main Street so very quiet. Close enough to walk but we drove because it was a rainy weekend and the street is pretty dark in the evening. No complaints and we would definitely stay here again. read more

Overall, it's a decent place to stay. It was very clean, comfortable, cute and decorated well. It's located in the heart of downtown Fredericksburg, right on Main Street so if you're looking for convenience, this is a great choice. However, with convenience (on a busy street) comes lots of noise at night. We stayed in room 2, so we were right on the street. The noise was not loud enough to keep me up but it did bother my mother. I guess this just depends on the individual. A few things that would have made our stay even more comfortable and enjoyable... Something to hang our towels on other than the one hook in the bathroom. We had issues with our coffee pot both mornings. (I will say that one morning, we asked the young man who brought us our food if they had coffee anywhere else as our coffee packet had a hole in it and the grinds spilled out everywhere. Within minutes of him leaving, another lady brought us two big cups of coffee. Excellent customer service. The next morning, the coffee maker just didn't work, unfortunately). The pull cords on the fan in one of the bedrooms requires you to get on the bed to get to them. Making them longer is an easy fix. The breakfast was good each morning! This BnB is not traditional in the sense of an innkeeper or host. Your breakfast is brought to you and there isn't a common room. We enjoy BnBs where you can socialize outside of the room, or with the host, but this set up isn't necessarily bad either. This place has tons of potential. While it doesn't necessarily affect the quality of our stay, it would be nice to see some better patio furniture on the porch, some well kept potted plants and just overall a little more effort attention on the actual property. But like I said, potted plants don't affect the comfort of the bed, which is was very comfortable. read more

We have stayed here before but in a room closer to the front porch. We went here last week for our Anniversary. We were glad to be so close to the Nimitz War Museum, our main thing to visit. However, I chose room 208 this time because of the two person jacuzzi and walk in shower and king size bed. The room was very very pretty, the bed comfy, the breakfast scrumptious. The room had no closet only one small hook on the door. No towel bars to hang wet towels. The bathroom had beautiful barn doors with WINDOWS, so zero privacy for someone using the bathroom. The water must have a water softener. Couldn't tell if soap was rinsed off and this made for slippery shower and VERY slippery jacuzzi! There were only 2 bath towels! The desk said no one was on the property and would be an hour or be in the morning before we could get more towels. We went to WalMart and got some Bath towels and a hook to hang on the door so we could hang wet towels to dry. May stay here again, maybe not. read more

This should be a 1 1/2 star, but I'll round up to 2 to be nice. Main Street B & B not only runs their own hotel here in town, but they also offer cottages and cabins throughout the area. We stayed at their Creek Street Cottage location, right off of Main Street. The good: The location couldn't have been better. A short walk up the block and you're right in the center of town. The bed was comfy. The water pressure in the shower was awesome. The couches in the living area were easy to nap on. A/C worked great, fans all over the place. The bad: When we arrived, we had planned on having a BBQ with friends who were staying with their family just around the corner. The backyard area (one of the reasons we took the place was the pics of the awesome yard!) was filthy. There were cigarette butts all over the place, the furniture was old and spilintering, the BBQ had rust all over the grates and there were vines and debris covering what was supposed to be an outdoor fireplace. The fire ant hills dotting the yard made it impossible to let our daughter run around, and there were two dogs in the next yard that stood at the fence (chainlink) and barked at us the ENTIRE TIME. The lights in the yard also don't work at all, so if you're grilling after sunset, grab a flashlight and pray not to step on an ant hill. The lovely rockers on the porch were covered in black grime, which was easy to clean off, but really? Why didn't they do it before we arrived? We also had to bring the trash bins in that were left at the curb for us: again, not a big deal, but why? I do that at home, I don't need to do it on vacation! Inside the house, the kitchen clock had a dead battery. Annoying. The hall bathroom had some sort of funky mold on the tub. In one of the bedrooms, the 3 foot post to the bed was just *sitting* on the frame, not actually screwed in (because the screw was stripped), which was a big shock when my daughter used it to keep herself from tripping. We moved the coffee table to make room in front of the TV and there was glass in the carpet. The doors to the laundry closet were broken so they wouldn't stay closed - not an issue normally except that they are in the middle of the dining room. Also, there's no internet AT ALL in the home. Another thing that sort of gets me: they charge for anyone over the age of 1. So, if a family of three is there with their 15 month old or 3 year old, expect to pay for it, even if they share a room with you. Bad policy, and one that isn't shared by most places in the area it seems. Full disclosure: Our friends shared the place with us on the last night with their daughter and because of all of the above mentioned issues, we didn't get charged for them. Though I should say that the manager of the hotel called me "dishonest" about it because they saw their car there every morning at 8:30am. Oh well. She also told me that all grills get rust on the grates, and it was ridiculous for me to complain. Discoloration, yes. Rust? Yes. When you don't clean your grill. I'll hold off on the tetnus for now, thanks. She also told me I lied about my daughters age and said she was an infant. Let me tell you, she could pass for 4. Maybe 5. But the kid is 3 1/2 feet tall. Why on earth would I say she's an infant? We rent VRBO's and vacation homes pretty much everywhere we go, and this was one of the least maintained ones I've been to. read more

Great place to stay. Very comfortable night's sleep and dark rooms. Well kept, nice and clean. The breakfast in the morning was delicious! Would definitely stay here again. read more

Took a road trip this past Labor Day weekend and the destination of choice, Fredericksburg, TX. Definitely a town for a relaxing weekend walking up and down Main street drinking German beer and eating bratwurst...what could possibly be any better than that? (Maybe Tahiti or something but hey, I'm on a budget!) Despite our last minute itinerary, I stumbled upon Main Street Bed and Breakfast online. The website hosts a few other bed and breakfasts and after calling the nice and incredibly patient receptionist for details about each B&B property, she persuaded me to change my original reservation from Main Street B&B suite 207 and to choose Cameron Inn - The Enchanted suite. Both were the same price for the weekend but I didn't choose Cameron Inn because it was listed as being located "near" main street and not "on" main street. Despite that, the receptionist assured me that Cameron Inn was literally like 20 yards away from Main St. so it wasn't like the B&B was wayyy out in "Narnia" or something. I was hesitant at first but the Enchanted suite's amenities completely "one-upped" suite 207. Needless to say, I was not disappointed. We walked into the room and wow, the room is HUGE, the bathroom is HUGE and the bed is a King! I am an absolute clean freak so the first thing I was worried about was how clean this bed and breakfast would be (after reading horror stories about some other B&B's in the area having bed bugs...yuck). After my routine OCD inspection, I came to the conclusion that anyone could practically eat off of the baseboards of this place. There's no visible dust, the restroom and floors were spotless and the best part about the Enchanted suite was that the room was incredibly spacious, simply decorated and the bathroom was a relaxing habitat in itself. The 2-person jacuzzi tub and standing shower made for a much anticipated bubble bath. Waking up in a comfy king size bed to the smell of hot and fresh biscuits being prepared every morning was just the icing on the cake. Parking and amenities are right outside the B&B and I wouldn't recommend staying anywhere else. My only words of caution are that Cameron Inn backs into the patio of a restaurant and at night there is a band that plays on the weekends til about 2am so if you're not into staying up later than 12am and loud noises keep you awake at night, you might want to stay somewhere else, but other than that, enjoy this little gem. I would highly recommend going on a weekend that's not a holiday... prices were a lot higher than normal but other than that, a great stay. Pros: Big comfy bed Walking distance to Main Street Clean clean clean!!! Big breakfasts at 9am Huge bathroom/tub/ and standing shower Reasonably priced Housekeeping services provided Free Wi-fi Cons: Loud eighteen wheeler truckers on the street at night Loud music at night (I personally didn't think this was a con but I can see how other people might). Sink drains kinda slowly... nothing a little Drano can't fix. read more

After looking through many bed and breakfasts online, I call and had a couple questions before booking one of Main Street Bed and Breakfast's cottages. The lady who answered the phone was incredibly rude from the start. When I asked about certain polices like minimum night stay and bringing children, Her tone and words became very accusatory. She very quickly became even more impatient and it was clear that purely based on her poor customer serivce skills, I would not be taking my business to Main Street Bed and Breakfast. read more

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. We came for our anniversary and stayed for a week. Breakfast was delivered between 8 and 9 to the room (ours averaged about 8:35 during the week). The office is located on the side of the building and parking is on the side and behind it. We stayed in room 205: Pros: - It it literally on main street, right across from the Nimitz Museum and walking distance to everything on the main strip - Decently priced if you stay on non-weekend days - Luxuriously soft bed and bedding - Breakfast delivered to the room, instead of you getting ready and traveling to another location to eat. - Nice sized tub and enough hot water to fill it up. - Breakfast was delivered on two seperate plates and was very filling - Gorgeous rock walls in the bathroom and bedroom. It definitely has character and coziness - The staff are kind and courteous, answering any and all questions that came to mind. Cons: - The walls tend to be thin and we could hear people walking up and down the hall, and the occasional large truck going down the street - The tub was very slippery and did not have any handles or grooves to help you climb in and out if it. It also did not have a standing shower, but has a shower head that you could pull out and hold. It made taking a "quick shower" a bit of a challenge, as I have long thick hair, and it did not have the best water pressure. - You are not allowed to cook or grill on the property. When my husband and I stay more than a few days, we try to save money and cook a few meals during the week on a small camp stove. There is a microwave in the room and we were able to improvise our meals and use the microwave to cook a few of them. - Breakfast became a little bit repetitive and tended to be overcooked - The room was a bit dated and the baseboard seemed to be incomplete over by the bathroom - The door was not the easiest to lock or unlock. My husband discovered the trick of lifting it while you lock/unlock it seemed to help. Overall, I recommend this bed and breakfast. We are already planning our next trip and I would be willing to stay here again! read more

See all

Stayed in Room 203 at Main Street. The location, accomodations, and breakfast were great, but the shower was so disfunctional that,combined with blistering hot water supply, it was not just annoying...it was dangerous. When we checked out, we reported the problem to the uncaring early teen at the desk. The nexy day, I tried to call, but got an answering machine. I left a message, asking for an owner or manager to call me for some feedback. It hss been a couple of weeks, and no return call. With a working shower this could have been 4-5 stars. If the girl at the desk had cared, it could have been 3 stars. With owner/managers who don't care enough to respond, it gets 1 star from me. read more

Bed and Breakfast on Main (Cameron Inn) is perfect for a weekend getaway. It's conveniently located right off Main Street so you're near all the restaurants/bars and shops Fredericksburg has to offer. We didn't use the car once. Breakfast is delivered to your door each morning. We asked for vegetarian breakfast options and the staff was more than willing to help. The bed was probably the most comfortable bed I've ever slept in. The pillows were of high quality and soft. I woefully bid that bed adieu upon departing. The only negative aspects of this place, is it may not be good for light sleepers. You can hear EVERYTHING outside and inside. Footsteps, TVs and conversation. Our upstairs neighbors were feeling especially romantic one night, and let's just say trying to sleep amid sounds of passion was a bit awkward. (Just a heads up to other couples wanting a romantic escape). Street noise is also pretty bad, but traffic dies down at night. Overall, we had a great experience and would recommend to friends. read more

Whether you need a solo retreat or a romantic getaway, Main Street B & B is a must! My husband and I enjoyed a romantic night in the hot tub, under the stars, an in room jacuzzi, a plush mattress and a delicious breakfast! When we left to tour the Main Street happenings, we returned to a freshened room- great for relaxing before our night out and after the convenience of downtown exploring! Everything is a walk away from this quaint hotel type B&B! We will definitely return when we need a quiet weekend away from our busy daily routines. read more

We stayed in room 206 during Memorial Day weekend (2010). Well, let's put it this way, if I would have read the reviews on TripAdvisor.com (#49 of 73)on this B&B I would have chosen differently. It seemed to me that they were trying to do better. There were a lot of little things that led up to an unsatisfying experience. We were told up front that the shower fixture was temporarily fixed while the plumber was waiting on a new fixture; the temp fix failed. The glass table that you eat at was extremely dirty in the crevices; and some mold. On one day the cleaning lady took our towels, didn't take our dirty beach towels and didn't give us clean towels. Since we arrived back to our room after business hours we had to call the emergency number to find out what happened. The cleaning lady had a "positive family emergency" and forgot to finish our room. The staff there is very friendly and very helpful, but from reading the reviews on TripAdvisor.com (#49 of 73) I think they are lacking follow through. Also, the pool area is very beautiful, until you look back at the lack of storage space with all the "STUFF" that is used on there patio but isn't need at that moment (outdoor heats, coolers, a grill or two, etc) I guess the aesthetics of the outdoor experience was a bit cluttered and not very relaxing. My backyard looked a lot more organized than this pool/patio that I paid to visit. ALSO, this was a birthday weekend for my wife so my hopes were very high on the experience, and I was disappointed. She said it was ok but It's not what I wanted out of the experience. For me I expected a premium B&B for the location, and the price but was very disappointed. read more

I am NOT a claw-foot tub, cast iron skillets and old quilts kinda girl. I mean, I think they're cute and everything but I dont want to STAY in them. I like Texas chic, nice sheets and toileteries, tiled walk in showers and big tubs. I hit the jackpot at the Althaus Cottage. This place was so nice I hated to leave it. Perfect for couples or if you are alone. The location is 2 blocks off Main, so it is very nice and quite, did not hear a peep out of the room next to me. They werent due to clean my room but I needed some things done so they came anyway. I cant wait to come back- great location, price and service. read more
