The Publisher, Downtown Fredericksburg, a Tribute Portfolio Hotel

I blew into Fredericksburg for a whirlwind overnight stay, as I was picking a barrel of bourbon at the A. Smith Bowman Distillery in the morning. When looking for lodging, The Publisher looked like a great hotel for a whiskey-centric overnight. The location is great, just blocks from historic downtown Fredericksburg - plenty of bars and dining to choose from. Additionally the decor and vibe is very modern and masculine, which fit perfect for my trip. Room 523 was a king room and very well appointed. Zero issues with staff, the room or the bar - it was a great stay and I would not hesitate to stay here again. Cheers!

The staffs are well-mannered and went beyond expectation. Alongside with that, if you enjoy fine dining, I would recommend Five Chophouse which is attached to the hotel as well. The room itself, was quite comfortable, and came with quite a lot of amenities. A few inconveniences I ran into; the bathroom had an empty bottle of soap, luckily I brought my own. Alongside that the fridge was quite dirty, and the TV remote wasn't working properly, they sent a technician to fix it, but after the TV was turned off it reverted back. Double charging, I booked the room, and paid on the spot. But, after checking out they sent me a receipt totaling 23 dollars for valet, then proceeded to charged me again for the entire room. I contacted the hotel, which had an automatic voice directory which wasn't working properly, I had to say/press zero multiple time until it put me in with a representative. The situation was reverse swiftly (as of right now, I'm just waiting for the funds to hit my account.) Overall, for a day-stay, I had an amazing experience and for when I am in town again, I would book with The Publisher again.
