Was traveling in the area for work meetings use the Bonvoy App and opted to stay at the publisher. Great choice. Large upscale rooms, professional staff. The downstairs bar and restaurant serves great cocktails and ahas a nice wine list. Will stay again.

The Publisher is a beautiful hotel but is incredibly overpriced. My room was $376 in Fredericksburg, Virginia. As part of the Tribute Portfolio, it is incredible that they don’t have room service. My order for the steakhouse located in the lobby produced one incorrect item out of an order for five items and one cold item that should have been hot. I ordered and waited for the food so it didn’t sit and cool off. The quality of the food was good. The fire alarm in the adjoining room (family) went off at 7:20 on Sunday morning. The explanation from the front desk was the shower must have been too hot and triggered the alarm. How often does that happen? The staff was pleasant at the front desk, and especially the gentlemen handling the parking. They were both helpful and kind. Side note- it seems incongruous that they have an espresso maker in the room with regular size mugs. The espresso only fills up the mug by half an inch or less. There is a nice, much more reasonably priced Marriott down the street.

It is simply a gorgeous hotel. Every detail with the design was carefully thought out. The millwork, the fixtures and the ambience all are perfectly married to enhance the guest's experience. The linens are superb, thick and luxurious. The mattresses are delightful. The only I would say could be improved upon...the toilet paper really has room for improvement.
