We recently stayed two nights at the A.L. Patton Barcelona Suite, and it was a fine place to stay. Being New Yorkers we thought the place was immense, with a huge bathroom, good sized kitchen, living room, and bedroom. Though it wasn't sparkling clean, I didn't notice any real mess, and being in a "rustic" B and B, I guess... More

We booked this on-line with 1st Class Bed & Breakfast in Fredericksburg who have many B&Bs listed. We wanted to stay somewhere close to town so we could just walk. When we arrived in the Hemingway Suite, we were assaulted with the delicious smell of pizza. The only problem is when cooking pizza often there is the smell of burned... More

We spent a night in the Barcelona Suite. The first thing you notice when you walk in is all the locks on the cabinets/ closets. Not even a place to hang your clothes without moving a chair. But if you DO move the chair, you can't walk around the bed. And what ever happened to cleaning? Our bathroom had mildew... More

My girlfriend and I recently stayed a Friday and Saturday night in the Hemingway Suite. If you are looking for a well decorated, upscale bed and breakfast with an early 1900’s atmosphere, then the AL Patton – Hemingway Suite may be for you – but it did have its share of fairly serious problems! The pros would most certainly be... More

We stayed at the A.L. Patton B&B on Main. I was so disappointed with this place. You must enter the bldg from the back and it looks like you are going into a basement. You are greeted by about 20 or so stairs that go straight up. The floors were very loud and we heard our neighbors everytime they left... More
