A handful of motels and chain hotels are located in the bustling mall zone on the hill above town, mostly along Regent and Prospect streets. Allow about 10 minutes to drive downtown from here.
Among the classiest of the bunch is the Fredericton Inn, 1315 Regent St. (tel. 800/561-8777 or 506/455-1430), situated between two malls. It's a soothing-music-and-floral-carpeting kind of place that does a brisk business in the convention trade. But with its indoor pool and classically appointed rooms, it's a comfortable spot for vacation travelers as well, and there's a fitness facility on-site for working out. Peak season rates are C$119 to C$135 (US$107-US$122/£60-£68), and up to C$199 (US$179/£100) for suites.
Also near the malls are the Comfort Inn, 797 Prospect St. (tel. 506/453-0800), at C$99 to C$199 (US$89-US$179/£50-£100) double; City Motel, 1216 Regent St. (tel. 800/268-2858 or 506/459-9900), with rooms for C$85 (US$77/£43) and up; and the Lakeview Inn and Suites, 655 Prospect St. (tel. 877/355-3500 or 506/459-0035), with rooms for C$87 to C$117 (US$78-US$105/£44-£59) and laundry facilities for guest use.
