Nice people and location. Needs a good cleaning
The staff were amazing. Very friendly and very attentive to requests. Close to old town Williamsburg. The building was a little worn. Great looking from outside, but inside was showing thr age. Back door, providing access to first floor, was off its track and set open all the time, making the hall temperature the same as outside temp. Breakfast room was sticky to wall on. Carpets needed vacuumed.

The first impression upon entering was the very distinct odor of marijuana. The second was upon entering the room. The restroom was not clean. The sink faucet was covered in something that was white and flaky. The bathtub was clean but the wall and ceiling over it looked like there had been leaks at some point, leaving a red/ orange residue. The third impression was the lack of hot water both days when showering. The shower was lukewarm at best.

It was adequate; however, if there is one bone to pick, it would be that the water pressure in the shower could use some improvements. Other than that, the staff were friendly and the bteakfast was better than anticipated.

Affordable and conveniently located. Property was oddly laid out and cleanliness/facilities is what you'd expect for a budget hotel, but we were pretty happy with our room. The breakfast had hot items and was pretty good. Staff was very nice and responsive.

Not so great. Stayed on 1 floor with pet. Hotel main door to outside was broken so left open all night and day. Cold and potentially unsafe. Hallways were dirty. Room floor had paint chips. Breakfast was ok. Bed was comfortable. Location very convenient to colonial Williamsburg.

The room is on the first floor, and the double door to the outside parking is broken. It stayed open all night, and I was told that it was broken, so it could not close. No camera was noticed to guarantee security. Under the bed, I found a beer bottle

Needs Upgrade
Our stay here was fine for a no-frills hotel. The hallway leading to our room was a little dirty; the room itself had some paint splatters on the furniture and the bathtub had lots of stains - really needed an upgrade. We put up the “please make up my room” sign while out all day, and were disappointed that no one came to clean it. Probably would not choose to stay here again.

Coming into the building, we were greeted by the front desk, check in was easy and the lobby was clean. The room was clean. Bed and pillows were comfortable. Main disappoint, especially for the kids, was the pool heater was not working. The pool appeared to be originally an outdoor area that they enclosed at a later date, therefore since the weather was cold so was the entire enclosure. They didn’t have a choice to try the pool without the heated water since the building itself wasn’t heated. The pool, of course, was one of the main reasons I chose this hotel. Other than that our stay was comfortable. The breakfast was adequate. The restaurant attached to the hotel was also very good.
